Hi,

    content iso,backup
    maxfiles 1
    shared 0

Backups not started via "pool" method.

When i remove storage "data" from pool "production" configuration and add VM directly to this pool, VM is backuped.

Switched again to storage "data" from VM directly:

Nov 26 11:30:01 proxmox-01 CRON[3286282]: (root) CMD (vzdump --compress lzo --mode snapshot --mailto root@domain.tld --storage local-lvm-data --pool production --quiet 1 --mailnotification always)

PVE wiki:

pool: <string>
Backup all known guest systems included in the specified pool.

Proxmox team? What's correct configuration for pool backup? Do i need add VMs into pool? Or it's bugged?

Hi,

of course you need to add your VM's to that pool, that's the idea. You create a pool and add VM's to it, if a backup job is configured for that pool it will backup all VM's in that pool. This has nothing to do with the storage in your pool.

OK, thanks, i will rather saw ability to not needing adding VMs to that pool, but can live with it.
