Hi there,
I've started to use proxmox a few months ago and did setup PBS with lots of disks and 1 tape drive.
Disk backup is running smoothly. I can choose any day in the past 4 months and restore a vm.
The thing is the tape backup job seems to backup all "the disk backup store" on tape every day which takes a long time now.
If I understand correctly, disk backup only adds a few chunks every day using deduplication and backuping only what's changed on the vm while tape backup put all chunks on tape so we can recover the complete backup store.
Idealy, I would like to have an end of month tape with all chunks so i can restore all vm at end of month state, then during the month, i would save newer chunks to other tapes.
I would have like 12 end of month tapes per year each with all chunks and catalog to restore vm at the month's state.
Is that possible while keeping all backups on disks?
Thank you in advance for any help.
