You can add remotes to Proxmox Backup servers which can be synced efficiently and also automatically with a set schedule. And, you can also use it as target for multiple seprate Proxmox VE clusters, albeit some optimizations are still planned here: https://pbs.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Roadmap > 2.

The web-interface of PBS supports creating an ext4 or XFS backed datastore besides ZFS also. We recommend ZFS mainly because it has built-in support to get some redundancy easily and can work with really huge datasets (hundreds of TB), so this makes it ideal for a future proof Backup Server where hundreds to thousand of hosts backup too. If you're rather happy with another filesystem as backing datastore you can naturally use it :) cheers, Thomas _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
