'vzdump' is a utility to make consistent backups of running guest
|
||||
systems. It basically creates an archive of the guest private area,
|
||||
which also includes the guest configuration files. 'vzdump' currently
|
||||
supports LXC containers and QemuServer VMs. There are several ways to
|
||||
provide consistency (option `mode`), depending on the guest type.
|
||||
Backups are a requirements for any sensible IT deployment, and {pve}
|
||||
provides a fully integrated solution, using the capabilities of each storage
|
||||
and each guest system type. This allows the system administrator to fine tune via
|
||||
the `mode` option between consistency of the backups and downtime of the guest
|
||||
system. Proxmox VE backups are always full backups - containing the VM/CT
|
||||
configuration and all data.
|
||||
Backups can be started via the GUI or via the `vzdump` command line tool.
|
||||

Backup Storage
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
Before a backup can run, a backup storage must be defined.
|
||||
Refer to the Storage documentation on how to add a storage. A backup storage
|
||||
must be a file level storage, as backups are stored as regular files.
|
||||
In most situations, using a NFS server is a good way to store backups.
|
||||
You can save those backups later to a tape drive, for off-site archive.
|
||||
|
||||
Scheduled Backup
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
Backup jobs can be scheduled so that they are executed automatically on
|
||||
specific days and times, for selectable nodes and guest systems.
|
||||
Configuration of scheduled backups is done at the Datacenter level in the GUI,
|
||||
which will generate a cron entry in /etc/cron.d/vzdump.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several ways to provide consistency (option `mode`),
|
||||
