Proxmox Backup Server
Back up your homelab with deduplication, retention, and offsite storage.
Proxmox Backup Server stores backups in a format that can reuse data across snapshots through deduplication. Retention policies help manage how much history you keep, and client-side encryption provides an option for protecting backup contents. Its integration with Proxmox environments makes it particularly relevant to virtual-machine and container backups, with restore workflows forming the other half of the setup.
