Backing up Proxmox VMs if you have a storage pool already
I have a storage pool made from 2 500GB SSDs in Proxmox.
I have it made in ZFS.
Enter the Proxmox shell:
apt-update
Then: Replace the SSDPool with the name of your pool
My pool is in ZFS so I can make the folder a different way than mkdir:
zfs create SSDPool/backups
Go to Datacenter > Backup > Add
It should now be in your list of storage in Proxmox:
Now move on to creating the backup job.
Go to Datacenter > Backup > Add Job
Storage: Select your storage you made
Schedule: Mine is everyday at 21:00
Selection Mode: Include Selected VM's
I have this backing up BOOKSTACK and WIN-SRV-22:
Run the backup now to test:
You will be able to see it in the Task Lists of Proxmox and Double Clicking will show you the current operations:
Now you can have a backup of selected VM's
You can find the backups in your SSD pool > Backups:
