I'm mostly running all vm's, yesterday I setup an LXC. Now I use pbs for all my backups and this works fine for all of my vm's but apparantly a CT tries to do an initial sync to my /var on local disk first. Fine normally I would say, were it not that my / doesn't have enough space for that (it's limited at 100G on 2x 240GB ssd's, I don't need more as I have a remote storage for all vm's.)

How to change this location? Or make it so it does like a vm.
 
Please share
Bash:
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
pct config CTIDHERE
And the output of your backup task. This behavior can happen if your CT doesn't support snapshots or you use suspend mode, for example. See docs here,
