-
Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) deduplication can reduce storage usage by up to 95%, depending on data similarity. Environments with multiple similar VMs and frequent incremental backups benefit the most.
-
Yes. Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) uses client-side AES-256-GCM encryption. Data is encrypted before transfer and remains encrypted at rest. Only you control the encryption keys.
-
Yes. Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) supports remote synchronization, allowing backups to be replicated to another PBS instance in a different location for disaster recovery and geographic redundancy.
-
The S30 server is typically deployed within 2-4 hours. It is available with Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) installation and ZFS configuration, ready to start receiving backups after setup.
-
The S30 uses ZFS with single parity protection for the 3x 16TB SATA drives, providing approximately 32TB usable storage. This configuration balances capacity and data protection. The 2x 960GB NVMe drives use Hardware RAID 1 for the PBS system, providing redundancy for the operating system and cache.
-
Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) is a virtualization platform for running VMs and containers, while Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) (PBS) is the dedicated backup solution for protecting Proxmox VE environments. PBS is specifically designed to backup and restore Proxmox virtual machines and containers with advanced deduplication and encryption.
-
While Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is optimized for Proxmox VE, it can also backup standalone systems using the proxmox-backup-client. However, the primary use case and best performance is achieved when backing up Proxmox Virtual Environment infrastructure.
-
Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) works best with Proxmox VE 6.2 or newer. We recommend using the latest Proxmox VE version for optimal PBS integration and to access all backup features including incremental backups and live restore capabilities.
-
Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) uses content-defined chunking to split backup data into variable-sized chunks. These chunks are deduplicated using a hash-based approach, storing only unique data blocks. This allows PBS to achieve up to 95% storage savings, especially when backing up similar VMs or incremental backups.
-
Yes, you can migrate to Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) from other backup solutions. While you cannot directly import old backups, you can start fresh PBS backups of your Proxmox VE environment. The first backup will be a full backup, with subsequent backups being incremental with deduplication.
-
Bandwidth requirements depend on your backup frequency and data change rate. The S30 server includes 1Gbps unlimited bandwidth, which is sufficient for most Proxmox backup scenarios. For large environments or frequent backups, we offer optional 10Gbps upgrade for high-speed backup transfers.
-
Yes, Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) can backup databases running inside Proxmox VMs or containers. PBS performs VM-level backups, ensuring database consistency through snapshot technology. For application-consistent database backups, use guest agent integration or create pre-backup scripts.
