I'm using local ZFS storage on my Proxmox host as a NAS. I have several LXCs accessing it (using Bind points). All working well. I still have to move data over from my old NAS but the basic config is in place using some temporary storage.
One thing I missed was backups. Backing up the VMs/LXCs is easy and I have done that already, but what I need to configure is backing up the ZFS data storage (/zfs on the host). Originally I was going to use a virtual TrueNAS VM on the host for my SMB/NFS shares as I was going to pass through the HBA to it directly, then use TrueNAS to run the backups of the data, but I decided to keep things simple (or so I thought) and mount the ZFS pool directly to the host and bind mount it to the LXCs and use Cockpit for the shares.
I have a PBS setup, can I use that for backing up the data or something like rsync? Obviously I need to automate this process and make single file or directory restores easy. Ideally with a GUI but CLI will be fine.
