This post is in a way part of Encrypting Proxmox Backups, reading that first may help here.
Proxmox Backup Client The Proxmox Backup Client is built into Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) by default, however it is avaliable via it’s own repo for use on systems not running within Proxmox.
This makes things super useful if you want all your backups avaliable in one location. Currently the tool only avaliable through APT-based repository, so for Debian based people go follow the instructions provided by Proxmox for getting the Backup Client Only Repo setup and installed.
Proxmox Backup I am a long time Proxmox user, the earliest use of it on this site is sometime in 2015 though my use predates that. However like many people within the industry of IT, we’re migrating away from VMware to other platforms. Infact I did this just over a year ago now with my day job (and rather successfully I may add).
This however does leave a small issue of Backup.
If you’ve tried to come to this site over the last few years, you’ve probably been met with the consistent message ‘Site Under Maintenance’.
It was intended that I’d fix a few things with the site and have it back up within a few days.
However, the best layed plans don’t always come to bear.
Many years overdue the site has (and all it’s previous content) have been migrated to a new platform.
In this video I give you a quick update and go through the upgrades I made to the Dell R720. Taking it from a single Hex Core with 96GB RAM to Dual Ten Core CPUs with 192GB RAM
