Hello, I'm using Proxmox for a while now, running different Containers and VM's. Recently I set up a Proxmox Backup server, and now wondering if it can Backup my ZFS datasets which are running on the PVE host. In particular I have one ZFS pool "storage" which contains multiple datasets. The datasets are bind mounted do containers and hold the mass data for the containers, e.g. the data folder of a nextcloud instance or the movie files for the plex container.
How would I backup those datasets using PBS? Or is PBS just not meant to be used that way and I will have to user borg or rsync or whatever?

Thanks for helping me out!
