Proxmox Backup Server

Proxmox Backup Server inside a Docker container.

Features ✨

• Incremental Backups — Only the changes (deltas) made since the last backup are stored.
• Global deduplication — To save space identical data blocks are always stored only once.
• Storage flexibility — Offers a variety of storage options, including local storage, network-attached storage (NAS), and cloud-based storage.
• Integrated with Proxmox VE — Tight integration with Proxmox VE, allowing you to manage and schedule backups directly from the Proxmox web interface.
• Web interface and REST API — Provides a web-based management interface that allows administrators to monitor backup jobs, configure schedules, and manage restore operations.

How do I change the location of the configuration data?

To change the location of the configuration data, include the following two bind mounts in your compose file:

volumes:

Replace the example paths ./config and ./data with the desired folders or named volumes.
