Backup ZFS Datasets using PBS

[fritzmox]

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 use borg or rsync or whatever?

Thanks for helping me out!

Hi,
you can use the proxmox-backup-client backup command to backup contents from the mounted datasets to the Proxmox Backup Server, see https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html#creating-backups

Thanks for that, I wasn't aware of that feature! Works great!
However, would be nice to have that in the GUI as well, just for convenience. Maybe one day...?
