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.
