Interface for backup

hi,

your question is unclear.. could you rephrase it? maybe more context will help...
 
I want to backup one of vms. I've got vmbr0 set to ethernet. Does it mean that backup will go by ethernet?
 
it depends on the target storage you're doing the backup to. if you're doing a local backup then it'll happen on the node itself.

otherwise if you're backing up to a shared storage, the fitting interface which has a route to your storage should be used automatically
 
What if vmbr0 (eth) and vmbr1 (sfp) have the same route? I would like to speed up it and copying by fibre. Storage is external machine.
 
in that case i guess it depends on the metric of the routes. the one with the lower metric would be preferred. if you want a certain route to be preferred you can set its metric lower
 
you'll need to do it on the command line. something like this should work:
Code:
ip route del 1.2.3.4/24 via 1.2.3.4
ip route add 1.2.3.4/24 via 1.2.3.4 metric 1234

basically route need to remove the route and add it with the metric you want
 
My route:
Code:
root@proxmox:~# ip route show
default via 172.16.1.1 dev vmbr0 proto kernel onlink
172.16.1.0/24 dev vmbr0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.13
172.16.1.0/24 dev vmbr2 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.101
172.16.1.0/24 dev vmbr1 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.100
Should I delete all routes and add one via ip of sfp bridge? It will be persistent?
