Creating a Backup folder on my bulk storage

I currently have 3 storage drives:
- 1TB NVMe (local): Directory type with the following content: Disk image, Container template, ISO image, Backup, Container.
- 2TB NVMe: ZFS type with Container and Disk Image content. Used for my containers.
- 4TB SSD: ZFS type with Container and Disk Image content. Used for bulk storage like media.

I setup a Vaultwarden LXC recently and before migrating everything over to use it, I wanted to make sure I had a proper backup in case anything goes wrong. Currently I can only backup my container to my 1TB NVMe local drive, and it stores the backups at /var/lib/vz/dump.

But I feel as though my backups should be getting stored on my 4TB SSD instead. I am just struggling to see how I can do this. As I can only select Container and Disk Image content for ZFS type storage. So I am just trying to figure out the proper way to set this up.

Just for clarity, I have an RClone LXC setup and I will be looking to mount this backup folder to it so I can then store it in the cloud somewhere.

Thanks for the help in advance!
 
Create a Directory storage in Datacenter > Storage and point it to your dataset's mount point from zfs list. I'd create a new one just for that. Only enable Backup content for this. Also look into PBS.
