PVE to PBS Zpool data

[withers]

Hi, I am currently running PVE and have ZFS setup with a single pool. I have been watching YouTube videos and can see backing up your VMs and LXCs is straightforward.

Is it possible to back up a ZFS pool containing data files to PBS? I would ideally like to use ZFS Send/Recieve to accomplish backups to send my data in the ZFS pool to PBS on another host.

Please let me know if you need me to provide further information.

In case your PBS is also running ZFS then you could replicate datasets/zvols between the two pools. But that then would be totally independent from PBS. Only way to create PBS backups of folders/files would be to use the proxmox-backup-client and that won't make any use of ZFS replication.

Thought I would have to do it this way, create the ZFS pool and then use the CLI and ZFS receive send to the pool from the remote host and then perform incremental backups

Then just come up with some ways to automate it.

Thanks for confirming.
