[SOLVED] vzdump to backup only the first drive

[chrone]

Hi All,

Is there a way to backup only the first virtual drive of the VM?

I have this KVM VM with multiple virtual drives, but only want to backup the first virtual drive which is the OS drive. I've looked vzdump manual but could only find "--exclude-path" option and it is only for containers, not KVM.

Or perhaps I could use the "--exclude-path" and add /mnt/* in the exclude list to bypass vzdump backing up all attached virtual drives in that VM?

you can enable the option "no backup" on the disks in the gui, it will then be excluded from any backup

OMG, how could I not see it! Thanks a lot for the quick answer! Good guy, Proxmox!

I am trying the same - im just running a backup of all VMs within my Proxmox GUI - not backup sevrer etc, backing up to USB

Cant see the option to exclude
