I'm not even sure I'll ask this question correctly, but I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I have two Proxmox hosts I'll call pve1 and pve2 with each hosting a linux container that hosts some docker containers. Pve2 is running Duplicati to backup the docker data files. I created an nfs share on pve1 to get to the docker data and back it up. I added a mount point on pve2 and attached it to the lxc. That worked great and I was able to backup the docker data on pve1.
Moving ahead, Duplicati only has one folder I can pass into the container to back things up as far as I've been able to figure out. However, I now need to backup data on pve2 docker containers so I figured I would unmount the nfs share and remount in a subdirectory and then create a symlink to the data on the local lxc. When I mount the nfs share I can now see the new folders, but not the shared files that are mounted in one of them from the lxc. I haven't even gotten to the symlink yet...
Is it possible to create a mount point that has a subfolder that is a mounted nfs share or am I only able to create the mount point directly to the shared folder? Once I understand this I'll figure out what I need to do for the local data. Really appreciate any help. I'm trying to avoid installing a backup solution outside of a container, but that may be what I end up having to do.
