I need some kind of help related to shared storage between proxmox's host.

I want to take a piece of free space in a proxmox server and share it with other hosts for using it as a backup storage. Is there any way to do that???
I have all my servers in v6.1.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
first please upgrade to the latest version of pve, it makes no sense to stick with 6.1 and miss out on all the bugfixes.
Regarding your question, you can share storage via Samba or NFS. Another option (not recommended) would be to setup PBS on the machine with free storage and use that for backups.

If you want to have backups, than a dedicated machine for PBS + offsite backups on another machine or cold storage are strongly recommended (tape support for PBS is maturing)!
