That is great. And then some follow=up questions if I may...: - I don't see any 'DR' options, right? As in: bare metal disaster recovery restores, using a recovery boot iso, and restore a system from scratch to bootable state. It's not a tool for that, right? - I guess with VMs etc, the backup will use the available VM options (ceph, zfs, lvm) to snapshot a VM, in order to get consistent backups, like the current pve backup does. But how does that work with non-VM client? (some non-VM client systems run LVM, so lvm could be used to create a snapshot and backup that, for example. Does it do that? Will my non-VM mysql backups be consistent?) - Any timeframe for adding LTO tape support..? We're really excited, and time-permitted I will try to play around with this monday/tuesday. :-) MJ
