Features in Proxmox Backup Server

Incremental Backups
Proxmox Backup Server allows you to perform incremental backups. It saves only the changes made since the last backup. This not only saves storage space but also significantly speeds up the backup process.
Deduplication and Compression
Through deduplicated backups, Proxmox Backup Server stores identical data blocks only once. Combined with efficient Zstandard compression, this reduces the required storage space and thus increases the speed of processing large amounts of data.
Encryption for Maximum Security
With authenticated encryption, Proxmox Backup Server protects your data from unauthorized access. This ensures that sensitive information remains secure even during transmission and storage.
Support for removable media, tape libraries, and the cloud (S3)
The ability to store backups on removable media, tape libraries, and Amazon S3 AWS makes Proxmox Backup Server particularly flexible. This feature is ideal for organizations that want to manage offsite backups across multiple locations or physically archive them. Keyword: Backup retention
Intuitive management
A user-friendly web interface enables easy configuration and monitoring of backups. Alternatively, experienced administrators can use the powerful command-line interface to automate complex tasks.

FAQ - Backup Systems

Here you’ll find answers to questions about our backup systems. Need more details or prefer a one-on-one consultation? We’re happy to help.

Why are comprehensive backup systems so crucial for businesses?

Your company’s knowledge—stored in gigabytes or terabytes—is among its most valuable assets. Our backup solutions secure that data reliably with differential, incremental, and full backups, so you no longer have to worry about lost information or downtime. Explore our full range of backup offerings here.

What kinds of backup systems do we offer?

Our portfolio spans everything from compact single-tape drives to highly scalable tape libraries and powerful backup servers. We also help you choose the right strategy—hot backup, cold backup, or cloud integration—based on your specific requirements.

How do you find the right backup concept for your environment?

We analyze your infrastructure, define the protection scope together, and design a solution that meets key criteria: performance, reliability, data volume, recovery time, and budget. The result is a custom system that fits seamlessly into your workflows.

Welche Rolle spielen Tape-basierte Lösungen im Vergleich zu rein diskbasierten Backups?

Tape systems such as LTO autoloaders and tape libraries deliver high capacity at low operating cost, and their offline capability makes them largely immune to malware or ransomware. Disk-based solutions offer faster access and easy scalability. A hybrid approach often provides the best balance of security and flexibility.

How do we support you with installation, configuration, and service?

From planning and deployment to day-to-day operation, our team has you covered. We can handle maintenance and updates or offer service contracts with guaranteed response times—including 24 × 7 × 4 support—to ensure you get help fast whenever it’s needed.
