Configuration of Backups

[luferazth]

Hi,

I have a VM in proxmox which I've done a backup. I want to ask what files are created after backup is completed?
I know now that, in path: /var/lib/vz/dump, images, etc fall all the images and backups and templates.
But is there anything else that gets created when backing up a VM?

It should create the .vma files that is compressed by default via ZSTD so a .vma.zst file is created, this contains the whole backup. Additionally a .vma.zst.notes file is created that contains the comment you entered and a .log file which contains the output of the backup process you can see in the web UI when creating the backup.
