What do you host on your backup servers?

  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 /home from my laptop in case it ever gets lost or damaged.

  My backupserver is a VM.
  The host also has VMs for Homeassistant, an MS AD DC based on Windows 2022,

  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.

  I backup my backup servers to my production machines.

  Circular redundancy, ftw!

    First I laughed, but now I’m seeing the genius.

  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.
