[PVE-User] Questions about backup strategy

[Julien Groselle]

Hi,

I have never backuped any VM.
I consider every VM as a server, so I backup the data inside (rsync based
backup) and not the envelop.

If someone can tell me what is the advantage to backup the VM, maybe I will
change my mind :-)

Regards,
