ZFS or OTHER VOLUME ATTACH TO PBS DISK

[Fr4nk1]

Hello team, I have mounted a PBS on a local datastore of one node, and I have another node with a different local datastore. Can I add the local datastore from node 2 to the PBS? Thanks!

Hi,
not exactly sure what you are asking for but I think this is maybe just a misunderstanding with terminology.

Hello team, I have mounted a PBS on a local datastore of one node, and I have another node with a different local datastore. Can I add the local datastore from node 2 to the PBS? Thanks!

So I assume that you have a PBS instance installed in a virtual machine, the datastore backing storage for the PBS datastore being located on a disk image which is on a local storage on the PVE host? Is that correct? And you want to now use local storage from a different PVE node to be available as backing storage for this PBS VM?

This is not possible without some sort of network protocol in between but it is strongly recommend against such setups. Be aware that your main goal is for the backups to be restored in case disaster strikes, but with each link you add an additional mode of failure.
