I run Zentyal in a ProxMox VM for PDC, DNS and file shares for about 35 Windows clients. All of my shares are in the Zentyal VM install and the total server size is up around 7TB. Whenever I do Zentyal/OS updates I like to do a full VM backup so I can get back up and running quick if something goes wrong. The problem is that the backups take about 5-6 hours so it takes forever to do an OS upgrade and I have to do it on non-working hours. I could use some advice from you experts on moving the storage space to a separate VM. Could you give opinions or options on what has worked for you? I want to continue to use Zentyal as user/share/permissions manager.
I have tons of free HD space (36TB), memory (128GB) and CPU (32x Xeon) on the server.
FreeNAS (Overkill? Don't want or need the management)
Barebones Linux + NFS mount?
