We backup our XenServer production server images to a removeable usb disks overnight, that are rotated daily and stored offsite.
With ProxMox I'm thinking of the following: - On ProxMox server ensure the same mount point for the drives is used via suitable udev rules - Make it available as local storage, or maybe as a NFS share - Schedule overnight image backups of nominated VM's on that Node to the USB SR via the proxmox web ui. - Swap the drives as normal each day, subject to the backup being successful. Does that same reasonable? any gotchas with using USB drives that way? We will also be separately backing up up the VM data via normal windows backups. The image backup is for disaster recovery. Another question - if I have a cluster setup with two nodes (Node1, Node2), can Node1 backup a VM running on node2 onto local storage on Node1? thanks, -- Lindsay _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
