Data storage for containers in LCX / VM (lemmy.world)

I run my containers in an LCX on Proxmox (yes I heard I should use a VM, but it works..)

For data storage (syncthing, jellyfin ..) I make volumes in the LXC. But I was wondering if this is the best way?

I started thinking about restoring backups. The docker backups can get quite large with all the user data. I was wondering if a separate "NAS" VM and NFS shares makes more sense. Then restoring/cloning docker lxc would be faster, for troubleshooting. And the user data I could restore separately.

What do you guys do?

With BTRFS you can take a snapshot, upgrade and if things go wrong rollback to the snapshot. Snapshot are incremental so you won't have issues with your data.
