Hi all,
I'm a newbie when it comes to Unraid. I'm very happy with the data storage, redundancy and cloud backup features and now exploring whats possible with VMs.

So far I've set up a Kitsu server for project management, and its amazing. But I want to explore whats possible with GPU rendering.

I've noticed how fragile VMs are with the ability to break them easily while trying to get GPU passthrough going. Is there a way to backup VMs to preserve them from being broken? Will there be an easy way to set up GPU pass-through on Unraid? I noticed toggling between VM and pass-through breaks the VM but not the data.

So far the fragility of Unraid VMs with GPU pass-through and setting up Linux, which is so  easy to break, leads me to believe that setting up a render farms is way too esoteric for me. I know it may be a slightly sepperate issue, but installing the nvidia drivers is near impossible without breaking the VM of linux.

I just wanted to leave a note here that I hope more development can be done to make setting up and backing up VM's way more user friendly out of the box, because there is massive potential to set up some pretty amazing stuff...like renderfarms.

I really want to set up a VM to have RTX Quadro support, similar to this tech demo
