I‘ve got 2 Machines with Proxmox on both installed. One hosts my data and media and runs Services like Jellyfin, NAS,… The other one is a Mini-PC that hosts my Services like Adguard, Home Assistant,…

Whats the best way to Backup the data and configs of those 2 machines? Installing Proxmox Backup Server on each and store the Backups on a seperate HDD? Or would it be better if a move all the services to a single machine and use the second only for backups?

thank you!

    i need to look into duplicati. never heard of it before. i guess best thing noe is to install pbs and look from there. my goal would be to have one copy of my data on site and one in another place.

      Duplicati is at it’s base just a fancy ui for backups as opposed to custom bash scripts.

      It does support s3 storage, SFTP, ftp, and a bunch of other stuff so this might actually be on point for your off-site backup design.

      Of course off-site backups are superior. If my home burns down I’m fked. I do use different hdds though, so at least there’s some security isolation in that. Also if one of them breaks, the other one doesn’t necessarily.
