Due the fact I am completely new to Proxmox at all - THIS video 100% worked out for me and I was able to follow your steps and create the backups on a USB-stick - THANK YOU!
Great video! By the way, if you're interested in automatically mounting a drive after reboot on Proxmox, you can do so by editing the /etc/fstab file and adding an entry for the desired drive. Make sure to include the UUID of the drive and the correct mount point. After doing this, the drive will be automatically mounted whenever the system is rebooted. Great tip for those working with Proxmox servers!
Thanks to your video, use the Storage and the Shell to manually mount the drive. A bit of feedback, your video is very nice and complete, but I am not sure some of the steps are needed. I just insert a windows (vfat) formatted drive, create a directly and mount it. Once mounted, added to storage. Most importantly, wait for awhile after that, and it shows up under backup of the guess VM's backup dialog.
LIFE SAVING TIP!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to take your USB drive and then plug it back in, you gotta go to your node terminal (in this video it is "frosty" and then click "shell") and type "mount -a" without the apostrophy. Gave me a heart attack at first my mates :P
Is it possible to use part of the external drive for data storage for a VM itself? E.g. /home/bu is used by proxmox for backups, but /home/data is used by a VM itself for data storage resp. backups on a VM-internal level?
have a question - followed this exactly but I have 2 drives - plugged them both in one was SDI and the other was SDJ - I listed both in the /etc/fstab UID on separate lines and made my backup directory in /home/backups2 is what its called scheduled the jobs and all to that storage directory I feel I did this wrong
I followed the instruction and everything worked like a charm. But for some strange reason despite the fact that the total size of the HD is 1Tb the backup is limited to a total of 100Gb. any clue for it?
Thank you very much for your video. Very clear and to the point. For me it has been a little bit difficult to follow due to its pace and my lack of knowledge. But I have managed to follow you at 0,5 speed sometimes. 😅
VERYYYYY Important! And you forgot to mention how much better this is vs. like an OS built in cloud back up. Because you aren't trusting in a 3rd party! Also, make that partition vid! You know I love my spongebob memes 🤌

Great content! NOOB here to Proxmox - easy to understand and was able to install my 2 drives. Thanks!

This video is SO chaotic with the perspecitve jumps and the fast type ins and HIT enter as if you want us to go back again 100 times!

How to remove the drive when the backup is done.
Is it possible to use part of the external drive for data storage for a VM itself?
E.g. /home/bu is used by proxmox for backups, but /home/data is used by a VM itself for data storage resp. backups on a VM-internal level?
I don't know why there aren't more likes for the amount of views. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for your tutorial. My hope was lost and you saved my day.
This was very insightful and helpful, thank you!
Good video! How can I remove a drive which is not working anymore?
Great tutorial!
This was helpful, thank you.
Amazing explanation and even helped me learn some stuff too, thanks
Thank you Sir for your great explanation !
Nice video! Has anyone been able to do this same thing with proxmox backup server?
Thanks!
thanks !

I surely hope you're not checking proxmox logs, or else you'll find tons of warnings, since proxmox doesn't know how to handle removable storage.
Thanks, proxmox dont start up anymore
Great tutorial!
