Proxmox Backup Server

Backup, restore
and disaster recovery.

Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) gives Proxmox VE incremental, deduplicated, compressed backups with optional client-side encryption, remote sync, and verification. Computer Port runs a dedicated backup and disaster recovery practice at proxmoxbackup.in.

What PBS does

Purpose-built backup for Proxmox VE.

PBS is integrated with the Proxmox Infrastructure Stack, so backup and recovery are designed into the platform rather than added after migration.

Incremental backup

Block-level incremental backups keep recurring jobs fast and storage-efficient after the first full run.

Deduplication

Global deduplication across backups removes repeated data so retention does not balloon storage cost.

Zstandard compression

Zstandard compression shrinks backup size while keeping restore and verification performance practical.

Client-side encryption

Optional client-side encryption keeps backup data protected before it leaves the source.

Remote sync & verification

Sync to a second location and verify backups so restore points are trustworthy, not assumed.

Offsite repository design

We design retention, pruning, and offsite repositories around your recovery objectives.

Why it matters

Recoverability is engineered, not assumed.

A backup you have never restored is a hope, not a plan. We design PBS around tested restores, verification, and offsite copies so recovery is evidence-backed.

Backup is part of the platform decision

On VMware, backup is usually a separate third-party tool. Proxmox Backup Server is purpose-built for Proxmox VE, so backup and recovery are designed into the stack rather than bolted on.

Recoverability over assumptions

We do not claim guaranteed recovery. We schedule restore tests and verification so rollback and DR are evidence-backed before you depend on them.

DR that fits your objectives

Retention, pruning, remote sync, and offsite copies are sized to your recovery point and recovery time objectives, not a generic template.

FAQ

Proxmox Backup Server questions.

Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is a purpose-built backup solution for Proxmox VE virtual machines and containers. It provides incremental, deduplicated, compressed backups with optional client-side encryption, remote sync, and verification.

VMware backup is usually delivered through separate third-party tooling. PBS is integrated with the Proxmox Infrastructure Stack, so backup, restore, and retention are designed alongside virtualization and storage instead of added later.

No. We do not claim guaranteed recovery. We improve recoverability with hardened backup design, verification, offsite sync, retention controls, and scheduled restore tests so recovery is evidence-backed and subject to assessment.

Yes. PBS supports remote sync to a second repository, and we design retention, pruning, and offsite copies around your recovery point and recovery time objectives.
