USB SSD for Proxmox Backup Server LXC #2990

I have a five NUC' Proxmox cluster and decided early to only get the models with both an M.2 and SATA connector. Everything on the node can access it, and by adding a second disk (vm) or mount point (lxc) you can decide if and how to back up the data. Also, it's easier to restore, just recreate the directory and restore the disk files (I have a backup folder on my NAS mounted within the cluster, so all nodes can access it). Because only a view VM/LXC's are using it, it's fine that they will take a bit longer to get back online. This works for me, and it's fast too, using it as a Nextcloud data drive, and photo's and video's load quick enough. Just be sure to test recovery from a backup too! Allot do not do that, but is in my eyes essential. Hope this might help you a bit, and let me know if something is not clear. |

Hi all, looking for best practice suggestions for my scenario as I'm seeing some conflicting guidance when I search for similar discussions and resources on the web and YouTube.
I repurposed an old NUC to run a second Proxmox node. I'd like to use this node to run Proxmox Backup Server as well as have the flexibility to run additional containers like ZwaveJS and Zigbee2MQTT. I have a 500 GB Samsung T7 connected to exclusively dedicate to this Proxmox Backup Server LXC.
What's the best practice for leveraging this storage within Proxmox Backup Server LXC?
Not sure if there are pros/cons of one approach over the other and would love to learn - running PVE 8.2.2 if that matters. Thanks!
Edit - decided I was overthinking things and set up a bind mount, works flawlessly! If that's not the best practice, I'd still love to learn other perspectives. Thanks all!
