I am trying to set up a external USB drive to proxmox to store backup vms. I'm kind of a nub. Anyone do this or have a how to guide? Any help would be much appreciated.

I tried using lvm. Got the drive to show for vm storage in the web ui but the backup options were not available.

I need a cheep backup solution. I don't have a nas or San. USB would be great. I saw a post using FTP but that's a lot of network traffic.
