Hello,
Proxmox BS will be installed on a VM managed by Proxmox VE on a dedicated server for backups and enterprise applications.
Is it possible to load a NAS on Proxmox BS 0.9-0 in order to use the NAS as a disk and a datastore?
It will give the opportunity for the PBS VM to be only a process without using disks from the VM but disks from the NAS.
Thanks,
Romain.
 
Great! :) Could you explain how to do it on PBS? No graphical interface on PBS to add a NFS share.
 
This is why PBS is so flexible, you just use paths, pbs doesn't care about zfs, nfs etc.
just mount the share and use that path as the backing path when you create the datastore. It's a good idea to create a "pbs" directory on the share where you mount it so that you easily later on can add a second datastore on the same mount if you need. Like if your share is mounted on /mnt/NAS, create a directory there like pbs1 so the backing path in the create datastore on the GUI will be /mnt/NAS/pbs1
