Hi Everyone,

im pretty new with ProxMox and Linux system, and i would be happy if if i get some help with my problem.

i have 2 USB and i would like to configure the ProxMox in such a way that it automaticly backup in my USB, the thing is that how can i configure it in a way if i remove USB1 and connect USB2 the backup still goes on without having an issue or giving an error that USB1 has been removed.

it is because to save same file into different places.

i would be happy to get a reply.

Regards
Azim
 
Hi,

Proxmox VE will write the backups to a directory.
If you unmount USB Device 1 and mount another USB Device to this path it will write it there.

Hi,

thanks for the reply,

i tried to mount the USB with UUID, didnt work, now im trying to mount it with LABEL, but dont know how to do that, i tried to add it in fstab as following :

<file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/pve/root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/pve/swap none swap sw 0 0
LABEL=Intenso /mnt/usb_backups vfat defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

it is not working.

will be happy if i get a help here.

regards
Azim
