Configure Backups
Backups are really important, and proxmox makes that super easy.
I will show you a really simple backup task, feel free if you have the budget to implement backup strategies like replication etc.
Open the backup menu by going to "Datacenter>Backup" and add a new backup task :
On the first tab you can select the storage where all the backup will be stored, schedule when it runs, I set every Sunday a 03:00 and the selection mode, which will determine which VMs are stored. For my case, I backup everything except a ubuntu desktop where I don't have anything installed so no need to throw disk space away.
On the retention tab, you can select how many last backups you want to save. This will help save space on your disks by deleting older backup. I set it up to keep last = 7.
