[SOLVED] Implementing backup to NAS

SOLVED: I decided to instead create a volme on the NAS which I export as NFS.

With respect to the pve-zsync, I got some disks and installed an openindiana/napp-it server to manage them. It doesn't quite work, but that's a subject for another thread.


Hi.

I got a new nas, and added a target with two luns. I intend to use one for backup and another for disaster recovery. However, I just realized that LVM storage -- as I use with my other NAS -- can only have disk images and containers on it.

Should I add the storage as LVM, and add a container to my cluster just for the purposes of exporting that storage as a directory? I presume I would use NFS and then add the storage as a directory.

I wanted to use the other LUN for pve-zsync, and disaster recovery. The NAS doesn't support zfs over iscsi however. Should I add the storage as LVM, install a nested proxmox VM with zfs storage, which I can then sync my other VMs to? I would much rather use my existing cluster to mange the synced VMs, but I'm not sure there's a good way to do it.

Any help is much appreciated.
