I can't verify if it works now as I'm running in bridged mode but if I recall correctly it worked in the past.

You are correct about that info being added to proxmox page. Either that or it could at least be given its own page.

thanx Iain
not using vmware I've never seen that before - maybe someone should add that info to the proxmox help page as well

You can access the ftp backup from within your VMs...
OVH have a guide about it, if you are using routed mode, you can check it out here.

Connecting to ftpback servers from within a VPS

The ftpback servers only accept connections from the server's main IP, login from any (failover) IP will be refused. If you want to do backups from within your VPS, you can change the IP packet's source IP with iptables:
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING --source  --match iprange --dst-range  -j SNAT --to 

Once tested, you can make this setup persistent by adding a post-up rule to the network configuration file /etc/network/interfaces.
