Backup question???

[kirelgt]

Hello everyone.

I have a question regarding to backup. Let me explain.

I have a Server 4 physical hdd. Disk A(Holds Proxmox Installation)

Physical Disk 1 --> Holds my ONLY KVM Virtual Machine.
Physical Disk 2 --> Assigned to KVM Virtual Machine.
Physical Disk 3 --> Assigned to KVM Virtual Machine.

Now my question is: Disk 2 and 3 are 1 Tera each and they are 50% full. IF I DO A BACKUP OF THE VIRTUAL MACHINE(SNAPSHOT) will it backup also Disk 2 and 3 or only will backup Disk1(which is the one that hold the Virtual Machine). What does snapshot backup?.

Thanks in advance for your answer.


P.S Please do not worry about wasting too much disk. Really need to focus on the question. Thank You.

A vzdump backup includes all disks (unless you exclude a disk manually by setting backup=no inside your VMID.conf file)
