Hi everyone, this is my first time using Proxmox. I need some help with this one. I have two VMs, Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu 22.04. I want to mount a drive to Ubuntu and allow Ubuntu full control. I want that same drive mounted in Windows as read only and maybe Backblaze can backup the contents. Is this possible? Thanks for your help!
Mount 1 Drive in two VMs

- Start date
Backblaze will identify the disk as virtual disk and won't back it up. Tried that a year ago. Sadly all backup providers with unlimited storage know that people running linux/unix got way to many files so they only support Windows and MacOS.

Of course it will. Thanks for the help. I can still use proxmox for my web services, Plex, and my DVR. looks like I need to look into alternatives to backblaze or build a NAS.

But then a Windows based NAS as Backblaze won't allow to backup SMB/NFS shares and won't run on linux/unix so all the NAS OSs like TrueNAS, OpenMediaVault, Xpenology, Unraid, ... won't work.
And for the shared disk...block storages aren`t made to be used by two OSs at a time. There might be some tricks to do it if one of them is read only, but I think thats still very dangerous as you easily could corrupt your data. Best you setup a NAS VM/LXC and use SMB/NFS shares as shared folders.
