Backup Storage

[milkymouse]

Hello.


On Proxmox VE 3.3-5 I can't add backup storage. Just missing this type of content from drop-down list. Tried 'directory' and 'NFS'.

On Proxmox VE 3.2-4 this type of content appears when I add 'directory' or 'NFS' storage.

My question is: on backup jobs I can use only storages marked as 'backup' or there is some way to use any storages for this purpose?

Hello milkymouse,

Cannot imagine, I use currently 3.3-7:

Yes, on command line; if you e.g. want to backupo VM 199 to directory /home/mydir/dumps it looks like:

vzdump -dumpdir /home/mydir/dumps  199

Kind regards

I don't use containers. It's for kvm. As I can see you don't have 'backup' content type of storage too. Where is content type storage 'Backup'?

From gui it is possible to create backup job only to storage marked as 'backup' content type.

So the question is the same.

It´s just a change in terminology: Backups = VZDump backup file

Can be used for both KVMs and CTs - "vzdump" is the name of the backup-program which is the same for both types.

Kind regards

Exactly. That is.
