Hi

No point changing rsync to pve backup in my oppinion if you are backing up data 
only. Only if you are using Windows or you want to backup VM conf. Then i would 
suggest ticking "no backup" flag on hdd and you're good. Or you could back up 
whole etc/pve directory.

Good thing is though you can restore directly to new VM and you can do it in 
quite few steps.
