We are maked a backup on server with proxmox 2.3.12 and we need to restore on other server with proxmox 2.1.14, this is posible ?

regards
 
Hello udo, thanks for your response, yes we are actually updating the server version 2.14 up to date, with the procedure on http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_2.x_to_latest_2.2.

But we found another problem, before update the server we want to backup the VM's inside, but one VM contain a big disk of 900 GB, so we want to exclude this file from the backup, using command line it is imposible.
We try this --> vzdump --mode stop --exclude-path "/RAID1/images/100/.+" 100, and this /etc/vzdump.conf exclude-path: /RAID1/images/100/, and always the vzdump try to backup the file.
We dont have space to backup this file on the server.

May be you can help us.

regards.

Juan Manuel.

Hi,
why you don't enable the No backup-flag in the gui for this drive? (VM -> Hardware -> disk -> Edit -> mark "No backup").

Udo Thanks a lot for your answer, but when arrive your answer actually I has ben starterd the upgrade of proxmox whitout backup the VM, finally the upgrade work fine.

equally I will use this option "No backup" for a real backup of the vm, excluding the disk.
