Possibility to set quota for datastores

[AlexanderR]

Hello Everyone,

I really am excited about the new Proxmox Backup Server. It definitely is the missing part for Proxmox VE.

We would like to do backups in for our customers on remote hosted backup servers.
Therefore we would be interested to have a datastore for each customer.
Would it be possible to implement quota limits for datastores?

Greetings,

Alex

You can use zfs and set quota on dataset

I forgot to mention, that we want to provide the storage for multiple datastores from one cifs mount.

I know that it's old thread but I'm facing with the same problem. Did you find any solution?

In our case we decided to run Proxmox Backup Server in a lxc container and pass different zfs datasets to the lxc container which we then use as a datastore.
If you would want to use CIFS, then you cant use only one cifs mount. Probably you would need to create several shares with the expected quota settings.

Hope this helps
