Hi
At the moment I am using 2 Physical Servers.
Each with 2 VM's running, Total 4 VM's.
Each Server has 3 Hard Drives.
1 X 2TB and 2 X 4TB
The 2TB Drive holds Proxmox and the VM's
On Each Server The 4TB (ext4) Drives Hold Backups (Adding as Directories) from both the local Server and the Secondary Server.
If any one server goes down the other VM's can be run up as at the last backup.
I am Looking at doing an Upgrade to the Latest ProxMox and Implementing ZFS for all Drives.
These would be new Drives with fresh installs of Proxmox and just Restoring the latest backups.
I have a couple of test Machines and find that using ZFS, does not allow local backup in the same way.

Any advise would be appreciated..
I am very new to ZFS..
Tom
