Is it possible to send a backup using proxmox backup server to a HDD on a ZimaOS system?
Sorry for the overwhelmingly difficult question.
Yes, it’s possible.
PBS doesn’t care that ZimaOS is Buildroot. It only needs a writable network path.
On ZimaBlade:
• Create a folder under /DATA (e.g. /DATA/PBS)
• Share it via NFS (preferred) or SMB
On the Proxmox Backup Server:
mount -t nfs 192.168.x.x:/DATA/PBS /mnt/zima-pbs
Then create a datastore in PBS pointing to /mnt/zima-pbs.
Key points:
• Use storage under /DATA (not the system layer)
• Ensure write permissions
• Keep it on stable HDD/RAID storage
Thank you very much.
