Proxmox Backup: Key Challenges
Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is designed for use with Proxmox VE, serving as the native solution for backing up and recovering Proxmox virtual machines. It offers snapshot-based data protection, replication, and recovery capabilities through both CLI and web-based interfaces, along with features like data deduplication and encryption. However, users may encounter several challenges that lead them to consider alternative solutions.
Backup tiering and automation
Implementing the 3-2-1 rule when it comes to backup data is recommended: you need to create at least three backup copies and send them to two different storage media, with one kept offsite or in the cloud. While it is possible to configure cloud backup synchronization using Proxmox Backup Server, the process involves manual setup, which is prone to human error. Large organizations and enterprises might find native Proxmox backup automation insufficient.
Anti-ransomware protection
Cyber attacks can target backups in addition to production data. This means that you need to protect your backup copies from ransomware or malware. While Proxmox Backup Server provides some security features, it is relatively complicated to configure immutability in PBS since it requires advanced IT expertise and third-party integrations, which might cause compatibility issues.
Multi-platform support
Proxmox Backup Server is mainly designed to provide data protection for Proxmox VE infrastructures and Linux-based machines. This can work well in homogenous Proxmox-based virtualization systems but it can lead to several issues if your infrastructure includes multiple platforms.
