Hi,

Where are the VMs I created in Proxmox? How can I upload these backups when Proxmox crashes?

Thanks
 
Hi Mehmet
By default when you create a backup of a VM, the backup file is stored in /var/lib/vz/dump/
 
Hi Tom,
Thank you for link. I have reviewed this link before. I can not find the answers to the questions I'm looking for.

That's all depends on how did you install the storage, if you are using local storage, the path will be /var/lib/vz
if you are using LVM, the path will be /dev/YOUR-LVM,
if you are using shared storage, the path is different, depends on what you're using.
