I have a few containers that share a mount point and when I backup the containers using PBS it only backs up the containers main storage. I see that in the GUI I can select backup but on those containers that option is not selectable (greyed out). How can I backup the mount point for these containers?

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your reply. Yes it is a shared mount sort of. This container has access to the whole volume and at least one other container has access to a subdirectory of the volume.
Here is the out put of:
pct config 117
arch: amd64
cores: 4
features: nesting=1
hostname: Nextcloud
memory: 4000
mp0: volume=/rpool/data/Data,mp=mnt/LDD
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,hwaddr=EE:CF:CF:B5:36:79,ip=dhcp,type=veth
onboot: 1
ostype: debian
rootfs: CT-Data:subvol-117-disk-0,size=60G
swap: 4000
unprivileged: 1For reference the other container which also mounts this volume is
pct config 114
arch: amd64
cores: 10
features: nesting=1
hostname: Jellyfin
memory: 8000
mp0: volume=/rpool/data/Data/Main_Structure/Entertainment,mp=media/Entertainment
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,hwaddr=6E:0B:FC:05:E5:33,ip=dhcp,type=veth
onboot: 1
ostype: debian
rootfs: CT-Data:subvol-114-disk-0,size=50G
swap: 8000
unprivileged: 1I might also ask a slightly different question along the same lines. Is it possilbe to just backup that volume directly whether or not it is mounted to one or more container?
Bind mounts are not managed by the PVE storage backend, it is therefore not possible to include them in the backup.
You will have to back it up using eighter a host based solution (e.g. by running
You will have to back it up using eighter a host based solution (e.g. by running
proxmox-backup-client on the dataset) or a solution from within the container itself.
