Hello Forum :-)

since a few versions there is support for removable datastores like usb-drives for example: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/storage.html#removable-datastores
Has someone used this feature and can share his experience regarding usage/workflow?
  • Is it possible to get a complete "full backup" on disk from specific vms every day?
  • So customers mounts his usb-disk (removable datastore) and wants to start a "full-backup"
    • means with this single usb-disk customer would be able to perform a complete recovery of specific vms?
    • if not, how can someone use removable datastores as a additional copy for backups?
    • can this be archieved with a local sync job and "sync last: 1" ?
  • Im interesed in your usecases as well, so feel free to share them.
Thanks for the help!
Greetings
Jonas
