Proxmox Backup Server 3.1-2 Set ZFS Quotas

[Dexter23]

I want to set zfs quotas for my datastore to avoid problem when it's full, this is my proxmox backup server installation:


I add a datastore in this path:


This is the output of zfs list -t all:


In my case i need for set quota i need to do this command right?
zfs set quota=712G rpool (80%)

Hi,
this depends on how you set up your storage. If you have a dedicated zfs dataset for a datastore, you can set the quota directly on that dataset, otherwise you will have to set quotas on the parent dataset.
To set the quota on a dataset, you can run zfs set quota=<size> <zpool>/<datastet>.

is better create a dataset? or i leave in /mnt/backup

You could create a dedicated dataset per datastore if you would like to set zfs properties on a per datastore level. However, if your intention is to avoid running out of space on the pool, you can of course set the quota directly on the pool.
