+This backend supports all common storage properties, and adds two
+additional properties. The `path` property is used to specify the
+directory. This needs to be an absolute file system path.
+
+The optional `content-dirs` property allows for the default layout
+to be changed. It consists of a comma-separated list of identifiers
+in the following format:
+
+ vtype=path
+
+Where `vtype` is one of the allowed content types for the storage, and
+`path` is a path relative to the mountpoint of the storage.
.Configuration Example (`/etc/pve/storage.cfg`)
----
path /mnt/backup
content backup
prune-backups keep-last=7
+ max-protected-backups 3
+ content-dirs backup=custom/backup/dir
----
The above configuration defines a storage pool called `backup`. That pool can be
-used to store up to 7 backups (`keep-last=7`) per VM. The real path for the
-backup files is `/mnt/backup/dump/...`.
