Hi
I watched this video:


it is simple and straightforward. Anyway, I'd like to know if I can backup on the internal storage first (as I do now), and make a copy of the same backup on an external disk. Do I need to add another backup job in proxmox with the same schedule and mode setup? Or is there a "simpler way" to do it?
Of course, the backup of VMs and LXCs must be the same as those to the internal HDDs for consistency.
Is there a correct way to do it? What do you suggest? Thanks
