Hello I want to backup my lxc (with one mountpoint) to two different places

I have already a daily backup (30TB) to an existing backupserver with excluded folders. (.pxarexclude)
Now I want to backup the same lxc to an external HDD / USB drive (5TB) and I have to exclude some more folders.
But if I exclude more folders, my daily backup will be reduced to the size of the HDD.

I hope there solution.
 
are you backing these up with vzdump? it has a --exclude-path parameter that you can pass to the second vzdump invocation to reduce the backup scope even further than the .pxarexclude files specify.

I am using the web gui -> create a backup job ...

I will have a look how vzdump works.
Thank You
