Does PBS allow backup while VMs are up?

[Ratio]

Hello,

I would like to know if PBS can perform backups without manually stopping the VMs beforehand and without any bugs in the process.

We currently have an NFS storage configuration with ".raw" files and our backup solution is PVE.

I know that with PVE we can't bakup while up with our current configuration (otherwise it completly breaks the VM), that's a thing we want to improve and maybe PBS is the solution, but first I want to make it sure.

Thank you.

Sorry, but that sounds strange. What problem do you have exactly?
