I have a few containers with custom mount points

Is it possible to include these in a backup job schedule? I don't want all of them though.

I was wondering if there's an equivalent of the ".pxarexclude" file, but for includes? (or is there a way i can pull in the mount point data and have it kept with all the rest of the data for the container)
 
Hi,
Maybe too late but to include mount point you need to add --all-file-systems=true to the command.
Code:
proxmox-backup-client  backup  root.pxar:/ --all-file-systems=true
But be warned to foresee a .pxarexclude file in the root to select the right mount points.
Just for your information here is a sample I use
Code:
/*
!data
/data/*
!data/docker_data
!data/var
!etc
!home
!opt
!root
!usr
!var
