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
- Log into ProxMox VE, either at the console or the web UI and launch the web shell
- Run the following commands
# download the backup script from github
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DerDanilo/proxmox-stuff/master/prox_config_backup.sh
# make the downloaded file executable
chmod +x ./prox_config_backup.sh
# 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
./prox_config_backup.sh - Press CTRL+C to abort or Enter to continue with the backup
