What is the best way to replicate an lxc container in another proxmox?

[csm310599]

Hi folks, I need to replicate a lxc container that I have in a proxmox server on another new one but i don't really know how to do it because i'm new to this.
I want to follow best practices.


This is the output of df -h (only lxc info)

I don't even know if it is approved to take a snapshot of an lxc or if it is better to make a clone.
any suggestions are welcome

If you just want to move that LXC you can do a migration in case both nodes are clustered. If they aren't clustered you could create an Vzdump backup, copy that backup to the new server (or store that backup on a NAS share that both server have access to) and restore that backup on the other server.

Oh thanks for the info !! but...what is vzdump used for? and how can I do this through command line interface?

Vzdump is the default program when doing backup through the API or GUI when not using a Proxmox Backup Servers(PBS). You can either create those backups using the GUI, API, or CLI (see here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/vzdump.1.html).

I get the following output when I'm trying to do this https://bpa.st/7RYQ its probably because I'm out of space?
