Backup ProxMox VE Node Configuration with Simple Script

#Proxmox #Config #Backup

NOTE: By default, backup files will be located at /mnt/backups/proxmox. Override this default by setting running
export BACK_DIR="/path/to/save/to/" prior to executing the script. The backup path must exist before executing the script or it will fail
 
   01. Log into ProxMox VE, either at the console or the web UI and launch the web shell
   02. Run the following commands
         # download the backup script from github
         # make the downloaded file executable
         # optionally, create a backup directory
         # change the directory below before executing
         mkdir /mnt/pve/ISOs/config_bkup -p
         # optionally, set the backup location
         # change the directory below before executing
         export BACK_DIR=/mnt/pve/ISOs/config_bkup
         # run the file
   03. Press CTRL+C to abort or Enter to continue with the backup

Is the back up tar file saved on Proxmox local storage or can it be backed up to an external drive or maybe windows through Samba share?

[orkuncanberk]

files are backups but where is it now located? In your video its on your local WINdows client in folder E/STorage->ISO->config_bkup. How can i do the same
