I strongly suggest any sys admin to look at the relatively new Proxmox Backup Server https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-backup-server https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-backup-server which makes full incremental backups so light thanks to a well enginered deduplication
- dizhn 4y agoIt really pairs well with proxmox. I've tried many methods but for proxmox vm and cts nothing was better than their own backup server.
- Havoc 4y agoAlso, this can be deployed to hyper-v. So you can backup your proxmox server to your desktop machine easily. Most people's desktops are well spec'd so that's functionally free
- the_third_wave 4y agoIt works well and saves a fair bit of space due to deduplication (which is filesystem-independent as it implements its own deduplication layer). It can get quite slow when backing up containers, e.g. a container with a 200GB root filesystem takes a bit more than 2 hours (PBS running in container on the same Proxmox host, backup from SAS array to single SATA drive). Backup of a group of 4 filesystems totalling 2.25TB containing mostly larger files (Peertube video storage, Nextcloud data directories and image archives) on the same installation takes about 4 hours so the time needed varies significantly with the characteristics of the data to be backup up.
- CoolCold 4y agoit's could happen that only Sysadmins among this site visitors crowd are FreeBSD guys, everyone else are Developers or DevOps/SREs in the worst case :) And on FreeBSD there are Jails and BHyve, so not a Proxmox audience as well, IMHO.
