How to use a network share (SMB/CIFS) as backup target

[mswedv]

HI,

i use a virtual pbs (running as ct inside of one of my proxmox ve nodes) mounted a external NAS Storage inside this CT and now i want to make pbs use this storage as a backup target.

1. is that possible?
2. how to?

And yes i know i will have to setup a dedicated pbs but i want to test it out.

i added 3 screenshots

I needed to restore the ct as privilged container to get write acces to my mountpint.
issue solved

Nope, I could set up the Datastore, but now it shows me "Permissions Denied"

Make sure the backup users UID got rights to write to the share.

Make sure the backup users UID got rights to write to the share.

where do i have to set this up?

at the pbs all permissions are set for acces to the datastore.
i guess i have to add that user to the proxmox ve and grad permissions there for the mount, correct?

How do i find out the UID from the backup-user i created at pbs?
And how do i grant access at proxmx ve?

Your NAS.

How do i find out the UID from the backup-user i created at pbs?

You run id -u backup in your PBSs CLI.
