Xen Orchestra remotes to iSCSI SR

Hey I was just wondering if anyone with Xen Orchestra knows if you can setup backups on the same iSCSI storage repository that the VMs are on? I know there is the local option for remotes, but it seems that it would use the OS drive of XCP-NG/XenServer and not a SR on iSCSI or HBA.

I have a fair amount of space available on that SR, and wanted to use it to store the “daily” backups for my VMs, and then have another job that will backup to a remote location a little less frequently.

Thanks!

The backup “Remotes” target file storage, iSCSI is block storage therefore does not work as a backup option.
