[SOLVED] host mode - proxmox-backup-client backup how to include all mounted directories

[RobFantini]

when i did this:

proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/bkup  root.pxar:/

other disk mounted filesystem /bkup was not included.

how do I backup multiple filesystems at the same time?

this did not work

proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/bkup  root.pxar:/

 

[RobFantini]

will try this:

proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/bkup /

no luck:

Error: parameter verification errors

parameter 'backupspec': value does not match the regex pattern

Usage: proxmox-backup-client {<backupspec>} [OPTIONS]
 <backupspec> <array>
             List of backup source specifications ([<label.ext>:<path>] ...)
..

trying

proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/  bkup.pxar:/bkup

may be OK, will post back if not:

that almost worked. for some reason /bkup only had 5%+- of its files backed up.

however I did not see an error:

is there a way to get debugging output when that command is run? I'l post more info on the failled backup tomorrow.

how do I backup multiple filesystems at the same time?

See: proxmox-backup-client help backup

Key is the --include-dev option, which you can pass multiple times.

proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ bkup.pxar:/bkup

That should also work but you'll get two archives - can be OK but it's different from the use of "include-dev", which produces one archive.
