Hi,
I'm quite new to Proxmox and I would like to know if it is possible to use an external storage system for backups.
I searched the forum but I didn't find anything.

Here's my configuration: one Proxmox machine where I have VMs (Intel NUC) and one older PC that I use as PBS for backups (I only turn it on when I want to backup a VM).
Since I already have a FreeBSD machine with a ZFS pool configured (RAIDZ2 with 6 drives), I'd like to be able to use PBS to send backups to the FreeBSD machine.
Is it possible? And, if so, how should I add that storage to PBS?

If not, is there another solution?

Thank you in advance
