Hi Everyone

I have a problem with Backup.
According to the Screen - there is no backup function for mp1 which is underlying on NFS Storage
upload_2019-3-29_12-12-59.png

But after restoring this mp1 is also restored as I have mentione in config backup=1, but there is no such tuning.

I have checked configuration of backup
Code:
arch: amd64
cores: 6
hostname: 1CDBUT
memory: 16384
mp0: LVM-DB:vm-146-disk-1,mp=/var/database,backup=1,size=30G
mp1: NFS-Celsium:999/dbreplica.raw,mp=/var/dbreplica,size=50G
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,hwaddr=08:60:6E:54:98:6C,ip=dhcp,type=veth
onboot: 1
ostype: centos
rootfs: LVM-DB:vm-146-disk-0,size=2G
startup: order=10,up=5
swap: 4096

Why VZDUMP ignores that this MP1 shouldn't be backuped? Or this is NFS Storage Feautre?

backup=1 is the default, so If you want to exclude something, you need to set backup=0 ...
that is actually not true, the default for container is not to back it up, but the config gets backed up (just not the data)

so when you restore, you get the same mountpoint, but it is empty

Via Web GUI there is no point that I need backup for this MP1, so there is no backup=1 or backup=0 in config.
Should I place backup=0 in config by myself?

IF I will use LVM with such MP /dev/vg-<vgname>/dbreplica MP1 wouldn't be restored but this line will be placed in Notes.
But I can't use such mp1 with NFS storage. Is there any workaround?
