PVE backup of TrueNAS VM to SMB share on TrueNAS?

[fsociety3765]

Hi all,

I created my PVE scheduled backups yesterday on an SMB share on my TrueNAS. One of my VMs is TrueNAS. PVE ran through all the backups but the TrueNAS one failed. I guess this was to be expected but I didn't think of that at the time.

Are there any tricks to make this work? I'm guessing not aside from backups for TrueNAS being placed elsewhere?

Thanks,

FS

I think you've answered your own question. Also it's not ideal to have source data and backup on the same host in any case.
