Hello,

I made my first steps with Proxmox Backup Server. My plan is to use pbs with my old computer. This one has only one 1tb ssd drive. I have no problems to install pbs with e.g. zfs but when I want to configure a new zfs datastore I couldn't create it one the same disk. Is it possible to use pbs with only one hard disk or do I need more than one?
Thank you for your support.
 
Hi!
obviously it's recommended to have a separate disk, but you can also create a partition or a simple directory and add the absolute path to the 'Add Datastore' menu.
