Copy datastore to a pool on a usb disk/stick

[Elleni]

Is this possible to configure a sync to a local second datastore? I am asking as I would like to have a offsite backup configured on a removable medium. Or will I have to workaround example, I install proxmox-backup-server on one of our cluster nodes with the usb stick/disk as datastore for pbs. That way I should be able to configure it by remote sync, but I would rather prefer to do the backup locally and not over the network.

Hi Elleni, take a look at this: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/external-pbs-copy.78215

Thanks a lot. Exactly what I was looking for

Are there plans to add some menu for local removable storages? I am asking as the workaround works fine but it's a pitty that while the stick is unplugged on the dashboard you see error because of unavailable datastore.

A button to deactivate a datapool or zfs dataset should do? At the moment I do the following from shell before removing the external usb disk from ProxMoxBackupServer: proxmox-backup-manager datastore remove Datastore-Name.
