Hi,
need some advice
have a small cluster composed of
three servers 64GB RAM with each 2x SSD NVMe 500GB in Soft RAID ; all with community license
one 1.5TB NAS storage access NFS with all options to contain dump & images & templates & containers..
three ftp storage access using NFS
private networkcard for cluster & backups
want to achieve as HA as possible
on each node 4 small VM and 2 bigger VM will be hosted
each VM is getting a small disk as additional storage on NAS ( home2) for extra storage where /home is synced
now I tried various settings of backups but notice that I can't exclude to NAS ( /home2) drive so some backups or snapshots are taking long time
same for migrating VM to other nodes
questions :
1. should I avoid to add to each VM the NAS part or change this config ?
2. additional proxmox backupserver isn't an option at this moment
3. there is a db cluster using VM on each node with export to external machine
thanks for your advice

no answer yet, I was able to backup all VM to each ftpbackup & NAS
but I discover that some backup of some VM's are having error and stopped
All VM and backup are configured identical and I really don't see difference in logs
Now I want to exclude the NAS part for each VM
INFO: include disk 'scsi0' 'local:174/vm-174-disk-0.qcow2' 48G
INFO: include disk 'scsi1' 'zpool-128317:174/vm-174-disk-0.qcow2' 32G
but having path inside VM this disk is defined as /home2
/etc/vzdump.conf is a global
should I exclude on host the mounted folder /mnt/pve/zpool-128317?
please somebody a hint ?
