Backup proxmox config

[Bobbbb]

Hi,

I am in the process of reinstalling proxmox on a new SSD and with ZFS.

what is the best way to backup my current config files?
(or which files do i need to backup?)
thanks!

Hi,
depends what you all need from the old node.
Is the server part of an cluster?

pve-config: /etc/pve
network config: /etc/network/interfaces (it's an good idea to save the whole /etc dir).
ssh-keys: /etc/ssh + ~/.ssh

But don't recover all files! - you have different settings in /etc/pve/storage and so on.

it is not part of the cluster

Hi everyone,

if i want to install a new proxmox with ZFS, will all my hard drives be wiped?
i want to just install it on the new hard drive....must i set the drives to do not use or i can leave them selected?

Hi,
is this an real question?

If you select the drives, they will be overwriten - this mean the selection! (do not use, mean like it say - it was'nt touch from the installer).
Zfs raid0 with one HDD sound not as the best idea...

why is zfs on one drive with raid 0 is not a good idea?
i would like to be able to do zfs snapshots, but dont need raid at the moment
