if you want to backup your VMs go to the webgui and on each VM you will see an option to backup. Theres 2 ways

1) backup the Vm to your local then winscp to you computer
2) install [
CODE]apt-get install ntfs-3g[/CODE] after that you need to reboot
then connect your usb
run this command to find which is your usb

lsblk

then create a folder to mount your usb

mkdir /media/external

then mount your device change x1 to your device

mount /dev/sda1 /media/external

then go to the webgui on database storage and add directory
name it like usb-backups and the directory location is

/media/external

and click on the dropdown content only highlight the vz dump backup tool and choose like 5 backups
then on the webgui of the vm you will see the option to backup to local and dropdown it to your usb
and thats all
