Backup & Restore

Backup & Restore

A backup only counts once the restore has been tested. Backups are treated as an ongoing process here – not as a cron job set up once and forgotten.

Proxmox Backup Server

  • Deployment of a dedicated Proxmox Backup Server as the central backup target
  • Incremental, deduplicated, and compressed backups of VMs and containers
  • Client-side encryption of backups, before transfer
  • Retention policies following the grandfather-father-son scheme (hourly/daily/weekly/ monthly/yearly)
  • Backup integrity verification through regular, automated check runs

Restore

  • Restoring individual files without a full VM restore (file-level restore)
  • Regular restore testing as a fixed part of the backup concept, not an afterthought
  • Offsite replication to a second location or external storage, to protect against total loss

Setup

Gathering retention periods and recovery objectives (RPO/RTO), sizing and selecting backup storage, and setting up the backup schedule – with a documented, tested restore procedure.
