I backup my backup servers to my production machines.
Circular redundancy, ftw!
What do you host on your backup servers?

My backups. Shouldn’t really put anything else on them, now should you?

My backup concept is on the to-do list. Been there for a couple years. I do have triple pihole/caddy/haproxy/redis for high availability on a triple node proxmox cluster! necessary? no. cool, though? heck yeah! friends and family impressed? uhm… what was the question?

If you’re using proxmox, just install PBS somewhere else and configure a schedule. It’s pretty quick to configure.

I know about pbs, I even have an IP set aside for it :) I do have the built-in proxmox backup function take nightly snapshots or my important vms to my nas, but I don’t have anything really put together. Also, nothing for my nas itself. It is configured in a raid 5, but as we all know, raid is not backup :)
One day, after I am done with <insert reason here>, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

I have 2 terabyte hard drives that get backed up when I remember.

Host? As in running services?
Wireguard and the Proxmox Backup Server software itself. Redundancy/failover comes from the server cluster itself, not my backup server.
As far as the backup content, it “hosts” backup images of my VMs and LXCs, plus
/homefrom my laptop in case it ever gets lost or damaged.Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
My backupserver is a VM.
The host also has VMs for Homeassistant, an MS AD DC based on Windows 2022,rutrum@lm.paradisus.day 5 months ago
I’ve got a subset of my files encrypted and backed up using borg. It gets backed up to another computer in my home and then cloud storage via borgbase.com.

Ohhh, look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here with his backup servers! What, ya scared the internet’s gonna go poof and you won’t be able to access your little spreadsheets? ‘Oh no, my cat memes are in danger!’
Listen, buddy, some of us are just out here raw-doggin’ the web like real men. What’s next, you gonna put a generator in your bathroom in case the toilet paper dispenser fails? Fuggedaboutit!
