How to automatically backup Proxmox and its VMs?

[eiger3970]

Hello,
after running out of space on the local disk running Proxmox and VMs, I think it's time I setup NFS.
Any EASY guides to set up NFS please?
I have a 2nd computer ready with about 4 disks.
The NFS install and configuration is what I need now, to move monthly automatic backups from the Proxmox disk to the 2nd computer's 4 disks via NSF.

Hi,
use an search engine of your choice. Depends on which distro do you prefer (and not realy proxmox related).

Also if you can spare a dedicated box for it, NAS4FREE might be an easy to use turn-key solution.
It has simple web interface to enable and configure things like NFS, Samba, RSYNC, iSCSI targets and many other options.

Yes, I have a spare dedicated box I can either leave on all the time, or just turn on for 1 day for the auto backups.
NAS4FREE looks worthwhile checking out.
I'll check it out.
