Hi Diaolin,
Thanks a lot for answer. I still have few questions.
1. If I understand your answer correctly, I have to setup backup
before failure. Is it possible to recovery machine from drbd instead? Is
there any tutorial for this?
2. Is it possible to configure backup to use DRBD instead of nfs? Do I need
distributed file system for it? I created 2nd lvg on DRDB resource and
added it to proxmox storage but it's not available for backup in console.

regards,
Maciej Sawicki
