Proxmox Backup Server Deployment

ProxmoxBackupSysAdmin

Project Overview

Here’s a quick overview of what I accomplished:

  • Installed Proxmox Backup Server on the dedicated backup device
  • Added a new disk and configured as datastore
  • Mounted the disk and made it persistent using /etc/fstab
  • Verified storage mapping using df -h
  • Created PBS user accounts and assigned proper access roles:
    Path: /
    Role: DataStoreAdmin
  • Integrated PBS with Proxmox VE:
    Datacenter → Storage → Add → Proxmox Backup Server
  • Set up automated backup jobs based on required schedules and retention settings

Outcome

This setup now ensures reliable, automated, and efficient VM backups with deduplication and encryption support.
