[SOLVED] Boot failure when backup drive removed

[KatyComputer]

We backup our PVE 7.3-6 server to a USB drive, I shut the server down to add some memory today, I removed the USB drive when putting everything back together.

PVE failed to fully load, instead offering maintenance mode. I shut down the server, plugged in the USB drive, now all is well, except I want the system to boot without the benefit of the USB backup drive. The USB drive was added to the system months after PVE configuration,

Is this normal behavior, should I remove the USB drive from /etc/fstab and find another way to backup the server:

Reviewing Debian man, I am going to change: LABEL=storageprox /mnt/data ext4 defaults 0 2
to: LABEL=storageprox /mnt/data ext4 defaults,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=3s 0 2

We'll see how things go. If anyone has a better suggestion, I am all ears.
