Hello,

I have added an NFS backup to my Proxmox setup. From the console, I am able to view and create folders and files on /mnt/pre/backup/.

However, when I select Datacenter > Backup > Add, I only see "Local" in the Storage options, and not "Backup NFS Disk".

How can I create a recurring backup to the backup folder? Do I need to first create a backup locally and then copy/move it to /mnt/pre/backup?
 
Hi there! Have you selected VZDump backup file in the Content section of your NFS share? It should look something like this, for example:

You should then be able to create a backup schedule as you described.
