Backup LXC container Proxmox | Guide

Taking an LXC (Linux Containers) container’s backup is an easy job with these steps:

1. First, we have to log in to our Proxmox Virtual Environment web interface.
2. Then, head to the LXC section on the left-hand side navigation panel and choose the LXC container we want to back up. Now, click the container name to view its details.
3. After that, head to the Backup tab and open the options and settings related to creating and managing backups for the LXC container.

   This includes backup storage location, compression options, backup format, scheduling options, and so on. We can adjust these settings according to our requirements.
4. Now, it is time to click the Backup Now button to start the process. As a result, Proxmox will create a backup archive of the LXC container and store it in the specified backup storage location.
5. Our experts would like to point out that we can monitor the status while the backup is in progress.
6. After the backup is complete, we can test the restoration process with the backup file to ensure that it can be successfully restored when required.

We can easily manage and restore backups from the Proxmox web interface. It allows us to browse and list available backups, restore a backup to a new or existing LXC container, or download the backup file for off-site storage.
