Backup VM over iSCSI/LVM

[mtcocktail]

Hello,

I try to test to backup my VMs over an iSCSI/LVM storage.
I follow wiki page (http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#LVM_Groups_with_Network_Backing)

But i have only 1 type of content : "Virtual Disks"

If i choose to make a NFS or a local storage, i have 3 choice of content ("Virtual Disks", "ISO Images", "VZDump Backups")

I make a mistake somewhere ?
Or maybe something else ?

Thanks.

currently we only support local backup or nfs. you cannot backup to block devices like iSCSI/LVM.
(workaround: you need to manually mount via fstab, format and use the local dir to place the backup on it)

Ok, i'll try manually
Thanks Tom !

For my knowledge, this support is on the roadmap ?

no, how should that work? I mean it does not really fit to our architecture, we need a file-system for storing backups and not block devices - the current system works so I do not see a high priority to extend features here.
