Hi Team,
We currently have two new Proxmox clusters — one running version 8.4 and another on 9.0 — each with 4 nodes. So far, we’ve been using Directory-based storage, but we’re planning to implement Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) for managing backups.
Our setup includes both containers and virtual machines with high resource utilization, and we need to ensure that snapshots and backups can be taken while the systems are running. Additionally, we have SAN storage connected to these nodes.
We would like your recommendation on:
Kindly advise on the optimal configuration for performance, reliability, and snapshot support.

We would like your recommendation on:
- The best storage type to use for a production environment with our requirements.
- The recommended approach for handling storage failover or migration — i.e., if one node goes completely down, how can the storage be seamlessly migrated or accessed from the remaining nodes?
Kindly advise on the optimal configuration for performance, reliability, and snapshot support.
