Currently,when a VM uses multiple disks and you set a backup job you can only backup the entire VM or not. Meaning you cannot choose a single disk from the VM to backup. Is this issue fixed in proxmox-2.0

I'd like to avoid backing up terabytes of data :|
 
You need to manually modify the VM's .conf file to exclude the disks you don't want to backup. The .conf files are located at /etc/qemu-server and you add a ",backup=no" (without quotes) Here is an example:

virtio3: /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST2000DL003-9VT_5YD3JKKP,backup=no
 
just to add, on 2.0 you can set the backup=no flag via gui.
