Need Help with VM backups on passed through NVME.

[Xcage]

Hi all,

 

iIts been a year or so since i started with Unraid , it gave me an opening into linux OS which i couldnt for years and i am enjoying the learning curve.

Now since then i have deployed a number of servers for different purposes(around 10 total), be that for VMs for monitoring , terminals for occasional access to some data , Just NAS, FTP server , VPN server etc.

Now there came a time that i want to deploy a Beefy Windows VM for numerous users access via RDP for regular tasks like office and some browsing, and here is the goal and question:

 

Goal: Having a Beefy VM that will be RDP server for number of concurrent connected users that will be backed up every week or so including VM image and everything , so incase anything happens to it , i can just deploy a clone of it in no time and it would be up and running.

 

Question:

I do have VMs now and i tried something similar , but the issue is disk speed, so i thought of passing through an NVME to a VM for faster IO, but then how would i easily automatically backup the whole VM and restore it incase something happens? since VM backup as i understood will backup images , and passed through disk is not that.

 

Please help
