When I started with proxmox, the PBS system didn't exist, so had to get
down and dirty with some scripting.

Unless you have more complex requirements, a vma.gz backup is rather
powerfull. No extra work, and when I've done restore testing, it's just
worked.

NP, what I posted was a cut down version of what I'ge got running on my
proxmox server (Btw: It's 1000Km away, and so is the remote part of this).

I figured you didn't need info for seting up the nfs part from previous
messages.
