	Share: VMBackups<br />
	Max Backups: 3<br />
	Content: VZDump backup file</p>

	<li>Wait for the backup process to complete</li>
</ol>

<h2>Importing the Backup</h2>

<ol>

	<li>Add the CIFS share in the same way it was added to the source Proxmox node</li>
	<li>Expand the node and select the storage location where the backup was stored (the VMBackups share in this example)</li>
	<li>Select the backup &gt; Click Restore towards the top of the page</li>
	<li>Set the target storage location and VM ID &gt; Click Restore</li>
