<div>
<h3 className="text-xl font-semibold text-foreground mb-4">LXC Backups</h3>
<p className="text-muted-foreground mb-6">
Create backups of your LXC containers before updates or on-demand. Backups are created using Proxmox VE&apos;s built-in backup system and can be stored on any backup-capable storage.
</p>
</div>
<div className="space-y-4">
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg bg-primary/10 border-primary/20">
<h4 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-2">Overview</h4>
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mb-3">
The backup feature allows you to create snapshots of your LXC containers before performing updates or at any time. Backups are created using the <code className="bg-muted px-1 rounded">vzdump</code> command via SSH and stored on your configured Proxmox storage.
</p>
<ul className="text-sm text-muted-foreground space-y-1">
<li>• <strong>Pre-Update Backups:</strong> Automatically create backups before updating containers</li>
<li>• <strong>Standalone Backups:</strong> Create backups on-demand from the Actions menu</li>
<li>• <strong>Storage Selection:</strong> Choose from available backup-capable storages</li>
<li>• <strong>Real-Time Progress:</strong> View backup progress in the terminal output</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg">
<h4 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-2">Backup Before Update</h4>
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mb-3">
When updating an LXC container, you can choose to create a backup first:
</p>
<ol className="text-sm text-muted-foreground space-y-2 list-decimal list-inside">
<li>Click the &quot;Update&quot; button for an installed script</li>
<li>Confirm that you want to update the container</li>
<li>Choose whether to create a backup before updating</li>
<li>If yes, select a backup-capable storage from the list</li>
<li>The backup will be created, then the update will proceed automatically</li>
</ol>
<div className="mt-3 p-3 bg-info/10 rounded-md">
<h5 className="font-medium text-info-foreground mb-2">Backup Failure Handling</h5>
<p className="text-xs text-info/80">
If a backup fails, you&apos;ll be warned but can still choose to proceed with the update. This ensures updates aren&apos;t blocked by backup issues.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg">
<h4 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-2">Standalone Backup</h4>
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mb-3">
Create a backup at any time without updating:
</p>
<ol className="text-sm text-muted-foreground space-y-2 list-decimal list-inside">
<li>Open the Actions dropdown menu for an installed script</li>
<li>Click &quot;Backup&quot;</li>
<li>Select a backup-capable storage from the list</li>
<li>Watch the backup progress in the terminal output</li>
</ol>
<p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground mt-2">
<strong>Note:</strong> Standalone backups are only available for SSH-enabled scripts with valid container IDs.
</p>
</div>
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg">
<h4 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-2">Storage Selection</h4>
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mb-3">
The system automatically discovers backup-capable storages from your Proxmox servers:
</p>
<ul className="text-sm text-muted-foreground space-y-2">
<li>• <strong>Automatic Discovery:</strong> Storages are fetched from <code className="bg-muted px-1 rounded">/etc/pve/storage.cfg</code> on each server</li>
<li>• <strong>Backup-Capable Only:</strong> Only storages with &quot;backup&quot; in their content are shown</li>
<li>• <strong>Cached Results:</strong> Storage lists are cached for 1 hour to improve performance</li>
<li>• <strong>Manual Refresh:</strong> Use the &quot;Fetch Storages&quot; button to refresh the list if needed</li>
</ul>
<div className="mt-3 p-3 bg-muted/30 rounded-md">
<h5 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-1">Storage Types</h5>
<ul className="text-xs text-muted-foreground space-y-1">
<li>• <strong>Local:</strong> Backups stored on the Proxmox host</li>
<li>• <strong>Storage:</strong> Network-attached storage (NFS, CIFS, etc.)</li>
<li>• <strong>PBS:</strong> Proxmox Backup Server storage</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg">
<h4 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-2">Viewing Available Storages</h4>
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mb-3">
You can view all storages for a server, including which ones support backups:
</p>
<ol className="text-sm text-muted-foreground space-y-2 list-decimal list-inside">
<li>Go to the Server Settings section</li>
<li>Find the server you want to check</li>
<li>Click the &quot;View Storages&quot; button (database icon)</li>
<li>See all storages with backup-capable ones highlighted</li>
</ol>
<p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground mt-2">
This helps you identify which storages are available for backups before starting a backup operation.
</p>
</div>
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg">
<h4 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-2">Backup Process</h4>
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mb-3">
When a backup is initiated, the following happens:
</p>
<ul className="text-sm text-muted-foreground space-y-2">
<li>• <strong>SSH Connection:</strong> Connects to the Proxmox server via SSH</li>
<li>• <strong>Command Execution:</strong> Runs <code className="bg-muted px-1 rounded">vzdump &lt;CTID&gt; --storage &lt;STORAGE&gt; --mode snapshot</code></li>
<li>• <strong>Real-Time Output:</strong> Backup progress is streamed to the terminal</li>
<li>• <strong>Completion:</strong> Backup completes and shows success/failure status</li>
<li>• <strong>Sequential Execution:</strong> If part of update flow, update proceeds after backup completes</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg bg-warning/10 border-warning/20">
<h4 className="font-medium text-warning-foreground mb-2">⚠️ Important Notes</h4>
<ul className="text-sm text-warning/80 space-y-2">
<li>• <strong>Storage Requirements:</strong> Ensure you have sufficient storage space for backups</li>
<li>• <strong>Backup Duration:</strong> Backup time depends on container size and storage speed</li>
<li>• <strong>Snapshot Mode:</strong> Backups use snapshot mode, which requires sufficient disk space</li>
<li>• <strong>SSH Access:</strong> Backups require valid SSH credentials configured for the server</li>
<li>• <strong>Container State:</strong> Containers can be running or stopped during backup</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div className="p-4 border border-border rounded-lg">
<h4 className="font-medium text-foreground mb-2">Backup Storage Cache</h4>
<p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground mb-3">
Storage information is cached to improve performance:
</p>
<ul className="text-sm text-muted-foreground space-y-1">
<li>• <strong>Cache Duration:</strong> Storage lists are cached for 1 hour</li>
<li>• <strong>Automatic Refresh:</strong> Cache expires and refreshes automatically</li>
<li>• <strong>Manual Refresh:</strong> Use &quot;Fetch Storages&quot; button to force refresh</li>
<li>• <strong>Per-Server Cache:</strong> Each server has its own cached storage list</li>
