I have a backup server running Proxmox Backup and OMV in separate VMs. OMV provides the storage as an NFS to the proxmox backup server VM.

I have multiple remote servers that connect to the proxmox backup server but recently I keep having issues with backups. Something about file lock estale.

Is there an alternative to NFS I can use in OMV to provide the storage for the proxmox backup server?

I know there are vastly different configuration options, but I have some other things set up with OMV so I’m kinda stuck on that.

    I use CIFS aka SMB in my setup. I have OMV running multiple shares, one of which is a backup folder for Proxmox to use. I pass this through to Proxmox by adding a CIFS share to storage in data center.
