### Step 11.10 — Create VM 102 (Windows 11, Sync.com)
|
||||
|
||||
VM 102 is a Windows 11 VM that runs the Sync.com desktop client for cloud
|
||||
backup. Syncthing on VM 100 (Services) mirrors NAS data to VM 102's local
|
||||
NTFS drive, and Sync.com picks it up natively.

|
||||
|

Then pass a dedicated data drive to VM 102 for Sync.com to sync to:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Use one of your spare HDDs — Sync.com data lives here (formatted NTFS in Windows)
|
||||
qm set 102 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/PLACEHOLDER_SYNC_DRIVE
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Why a dedicated drive?** Sync.com needs a real local NTFS disk — not a
|
||||
> network share, not a shared folder. Windows formats this drive NTFS and
|
||||
> Sync.com treats it as a native local drive. Syncthing on VM 100 (Services)
|
||||
> pushes data to it over the LAN.
