Hello, I would like to dedicate a physical disk to a VM. I can backup this VM, but how I can restore on this disk ?
Normally, you can't. This is a break of separation of concerns and is generally a bad idea to assign non-virtualized hardware to a virtualized machine.
Passthrough is Passthrough and therefore not a storage. Virtualize it, then you can do whatever you want.
@LnxBil: This was because I have a 480Gb and another 960Gb SSD's. The gaol was to passthrough the 480 for my home server, but this week I reinstalled my PVE and migrated from QCOW2 on LVM volume to LVM-Thin. The 480Gb is now dedicated to VM's OS, and the 960 to VM Data's. @Toni G: Yes, with HDD passthrough you can backup using web interface, and restore. But restore is only on PVE "conventional" storage. No need more passthrough, solved Thanks you
