Where is the container disk folder

[lumox]

hi,

I have started practicing with Proxmox again. I created a debian container and add a disk to it to store data sent by my client via a backup program.




No ZFS on my Proxmox VE, it is a small server just to enable me to experiment with setups and stuff.
So I added the disk-1 (100G) to the contaner by taking space from the local storage VM1, the same in which VMS and container run



I'd like now to send and sync the entire volume vm-104-disk-1 to cloud with rclone/sync..or something like that, still don't know.
The problem is that I can't find the volume/folder path on Proxmox to specify it in the backup script.
Could you help me, please?
Thanks

Hi,

you can get the filesystem path for a volume via pvesm path [storage], in your case it should be

pvesm path VM1:vm-104-disk-1

ok, I found it.
I opened Filezilla and headed to the folder.
What are those link icons on the folders for exactly?

Thanks

I'm guessing that this is a block storage (LVM, LVM-thin…)? You can read more about those here [1]. What you're looking at are the volumes that your VM/CT data is stored in. Could you maybe give a few more details about what you're trying to do? I'd recommend you also look into the integrated backup functionality [2], and, by extension, the Proxmox Backup Server [3] .
