Hi, a main disk faillure breaks almost all in my proxmox system. It's not a crtitical system, but maybe in the future it will be. It's not a problem to rebuild the system, but it's too much time consuming to recreate all the VM. There's any way to export to external disk, as a backup, and import it, if the problems comes again ?
Thanks !

Hi,

I would recommend to perform scheduled backups of all your VMs/CTs to an offsite backup location [0]. Maybe running a dedicated Proxmox Backup Server instance suites your needs [1].
VM configs and other PVE related configurations are located at /etc/pve. So a regular backup of those files should also help you rebuild a host/node in case of failure.

Also, did you use any kind of redundancy on the PVE storage itself? A single disk failure should not result in data loss on a production critical system.
