How do I split storage so I can use some for my backup role?

I have a vps with 160gb storage could I split away 60gb and set my device path to use that for backups? Right now I just add the volume from Hetzner since It's easy and they show you the path in the mounting setup, so I just copy the path from step one and don't do mounting steps there. Works perfectly but I can get space a lot cheaper from another service.

I tested it and it worked for me for a while. However I had some issues having it mount correctly after reboot but I didn't troubleshoot it.

Sounds like you just need to create a backup server at whatever the new service is, install Enhance, and then enable the backup role. It's as easy as that.
