  Like I said, incus don’t care about your storage.

  I’ve never uses PBS, I’ve always just rolled my own. I currently keep 7 daily, 4 weekly and 4 monthly. My data mounts are all nfsv4.

    Yeah it sounds nice but too much time investment for me.

    I can install PBS client on any system but it requires manual setup and scheduling which I don’t want to do. When used with Proxmox that’s all handled for me.

      Also I don’t think Proxmox cares about storage either,

      Proxmox forces you to add a “storage area”, which is fine, except you must use their mount path of /mnt/pve/ and you must add NFS tuning switches via pve or they don’t work.

      Proxmox is great, I used it for 8 years. But it is also opinionated and doesn’t like non-standard configs.

        Oh I see what you mean yeah, I’ve never used NFS before with it.
