Scheduled backups with Proxmox Part 1: How to backup virtual machines locally

In this video, we teach you how to set up a scheduled backup of virtual machines on a Proxmox host. One of the common issues with backups is cleaning up old backups. With Proxmox it is easy to set the number of back-ups you want to keep. During the scheduled backup run it will remove old backups and keep only the number you specified for the backup location. It is also easy to select all or some virtual machines you want to backup.

Hi Kevin. I installed pve on a 120gb ssd and have another 3 x 3tb SAS drives that I used to created a zpool with. Any idea how I can move vzdumps, iso images and container templates to the zpool?

Hello i wonder if it is possible to do a snapshot to another drive that is from another server, Instead of the local hard drive with the proxmox on it?

Hi Kevin! I'm new to Proxmox and Nas environment, and Proxmox can't back up due to the problem that is called "no space left on nas". I have 16 tb of space on my nas but proxmox already used like 14.25 tb of the space that I have. How can I solve this, any idea?
