    Hi everyone,
    I recently bought a VPS from smarthost.net They have a 20GB main drive, and a "separate" 2TB block storage volume onn which I (on their instructions) has to use GParted to reinitialize to a GPT partition. I then installed Cloudron, and I thought that the 2TB would be visible, or that I had made one partition out of the initial 2 (20GB and 2TB), but nope, I had to add the 2TB as a Volume with a name of 2TB and a Target of /dev/vdb1.

    So now I'm trying to set up Backups to use this 2TB, but I can't figure out what to write in the three options that I think are best suited:

    1. EXT4 Disk
    2. Filesystem
    3. Filesystem (Mountpoint)

    EDIT: I hadn't even posted this yet and while getting a screenshot to include I saw a FOURTH option I hadn't before

    1. External/Local Disk (EXT4 or XFS)

    and when I picked that the 2TB Volume I had added was visible, and voila, I'm good to go.

    I''ll leave this up in case anyone else ever has a similar questoin
