So I'm looking for a solution where ProxMox does its backups over the network to a FreeNAS box.
Last week I had this running very well using NFS until Tuesday morning when FreeNAS went offline.
To me if the NAS goes offline the backup should quit and get over it, but it didnt do that.
Instead Proxmox left me with a VM frozen, (the most important one) and no way to fix it.
I search for the processes and tried to kill them, nothing wanted to work. I ended up having to pull power to the server. An unacceptable result.
So now I'm left looking into options, I thought iSCSI but I can't perform backups to it.
Is the only option to use NFS? What other options do I have?
