Removable devices

• I'd like to use a PBS as a central backup point.
• From this, I'd like to vzdump copies of the latest version to USB media.
• So, a copy of the backup into another RAW backup.
• A web GUI is secondary.
• any ideas?

Hi,
I assume with exporting the backup to raw you mean to a fully self contained format like a vma backup. Otherwise a simple restore using proxmox-backup-client restore <snapshot> <archive> <target> will give you the content for that archive, which is either a pxar archive or a raw disk image, depending on how the backup was created.

See a proposed approach to achieve a vma export here https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3263#c1.
