Hello all,
I’m hoping to get some advice on my self hosting environment. I currently run Proxmox VE with a few VMs, and use Proxmox VE’s built in VM backup method to my NAS. I don’t currently have a good backup method for the host server itself, and I know I’m playing with fire not having that properly backed up.
I have an older laptop that I’m considering turning into a Proxmox Backup Server, which should allow me to backup the host server and VMs, which would make me feel a lot better. The one thing I haven’t really seen info on in my research is if there’s a convenient way to backup THE backup server. If anyone uses PBS, do you back that up as well? How so?
I appreciate any assistance or advice!
Pretty sure PBS doesn’t support backing up the PVE host itself. You can find Scripts on github to backup the PVE config
You can use the Backup Client to backup any physical host: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html
Yea that’s what I’ve seen so far, just a backup of the /etc/pve files and other network configs should be good enough I suppose.
Oh how good is that. Thanks the info
