  • Quick info: you cannot backup the Host server with PBS, only VMs and LXCs.

    Edit: there seems to be some ways to send a manual backup of the PVE host to PBS but it seems to be CLI only and I don’t think the GUI allows that.

    Also, you might want to put the backups in a dedicated partition or drive if you can, so you’d just have to reinstall pbs in case it get bad. I don’t know any way to backup pbs, as I don’t do that myself, maybe backuppc ?









  • I mean it would work, but depends on the load, it can definitely host some website, be used as a backup server or something. I installed a modern version of proxmox and even plain debian on it, so it would definitely work. But performance would be poor for heavy task like a game server.

    As for the consistency itself, the server would run 24/7 without an issue, and it’s still built like a tank and it has been made to be resilient!
