Hello

Where can I see the vm created? Is it possible to copy them?

I have little storage for backups, and I have a big vm, what is the suggestion to back it up, my idea is to copy the vm, or what could it be? and if I'm right, where vm are currently located in version 5.2-9

In the GUI, choose the VM you want to copy. Go to 'Backup' section. Press 'Backup Now'. Choose the options.

While you are choosing the options, choose a storage unit for the backup. If you chose 'local', then the backup file should be in '/var/lib/vz/dump/'. You can simply copy this file and restore it somewhere else.
