[TUTORIAL] How to setup PBS as a VM in Unraid and uses Virtiofs to passthrough shares

Thanks for this. Life Saver!

Did you manage to solve this problem?

I would guess it has to do with the mover if you are using a cache drive. I would suggest to people using this method to backup to either setup the backup folder for PBS onto an unassigned device (its a backup, so no need to be on array), or if you want redundancy, I have setup cache pools with BTRFS mirrors for doing this kind of thing. The mover tends to break NFS shares as well (which is how I manage many remote backups). So either put directly on the Array (slow as we all know in unRAID), or its own drive/mirror.

I'm going to join the chorus and say thank you for this guide! Amazingly helpful!

Thank you for this guide!

for future users using unraid 6.12.6 or newer: follow part one and go to part 2 - step 15 without creating the vm. All the xml configuration is done by default by selecting virtio as the unraid share after creating the VM the first time around.

If I already have PBS installed as a VM on my Proxmox node, does it make sense to do all of this (to move PBS from Proxmox to Unraid), rather than just make a new share on Unraid and mount it to the PBS?
