Created a KVM under qemu64 with
Code:
backup=no
parameter in Proxmox VE 3.4.
The conf file is at
Code:
/etc/pve/nodes/host01/qemu-server/100.conf
and it contains:
Code:
...
...
ide0: local:100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2,format=qcow2,backup=no,size=10G
...
...

Where in the Proxmox VE GUI do we set the
Code:
backup=yes
parameter above?
 
if you want the backup, just leave the defaults.

ONLY if you do not want to include the disk in the backup, you have to set this to "backup=no"
 
I am aware of using the defaults. The point here is if during KVM creation,
Code:
backup=no
was chosen, where in the GUI do we revert it later.

For now we merely edit the appropriate
Code:
/etc/pve/nodes/host01/qemu-server/###.conf
file.

You are confusing me. You talk about containers but you post VM configs.?
 
if you edit the disk in the vm config (on the gui), there is an option "nobackup", uncheck it for including this disk in the backups
