Hello,

We have a cluster and we want to create replication. The reason is to have a copy that is not really old available if a node failed to recover on a different node. This is next to the backups we create to the proxmox backup server.

However even as it is stored on zfs it still says the feature is missing.

Some more information:
# pvesr create-local-job 135-0 hv13 --schedule "*/5" --rate 10
missing replicate feature on volume 'local:135/vm-135-disk-0.qcow2'

# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content iso,vztmpl,snippets,images,rootdir,backup
prune-backups keep-daily=1,keep-hourly=1,keep-last=2,keep-monthly=1,keep-weekly=2,keep-yearly=1
shared 0

What else do we have to do to get replication to work?
