Hi everyone, I just switched my homeserver to Proxmox recently and I’m planning to implement Proxmox Backup Server in the near future. But I’m wondering on any best practices regarding backups of my docker LXC.

If I understand it correctly, i can only restore the entire LXC, but since I have several docker container in one LXC, that’s not very convenient in case I just need to rollback one docker container. Do you have any best practices for such a scenario?

One idea I have is to use one (zfs) mount point per docker container and store the docker volumes for that container there. Would that be a viable way?
