Chapter 4. A Virtual Machine for a Virtual World
We are about to embark upon a new kind of virtual world, which is beyond just basic. Through previous chapters, we have familiarized ourselves with Proxmox up close and personal. We saw what a Proxmox GUI looks like and got our hands dirty with the Proxmox configuration files and directory structure. We also learned what shared storage system is and how it is integrated with the Proxmox cluster. In this chapter, we are going to take it one step further by covering at the following topics:
- Advanced configuration options for virtual machines
- Nested virtual environment
- Proxmox backup/restore system
- Virtual machine snapshots
- Command-line backup
