Proxmox VE Backup

Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) is an open-source virtualization platform for enterprises. Proxmox VE is Debian GNU/Linux based and allows deployment and management of Virtual machines (QEMU/KVM hypervisor) and Containers (LXC).

This feature allows you to backup Proxmox VE infrastructures, allowing you to:

• Discover supported Proxmox VE items: clusters and standalone hosts (nodes) and add them to the Inventory.

• Back up Proxmox VE VMs.

• Copy Proxmox VE VM backups.

• Recover Proxmox VE VMs from backups.

• Perform File recovery from Proxmox VE VM backups to source or custom VMs.

• Perform Object recovery from Proxmox VE VM backups to a custom destination.

• Perform Universal Object recovery from Proxmox VE VM backups for a VM disk.

The feature supports Full and Incremental backups and offers two methods for Change Block Tracking (CBT): the native Proxmox VE change tracking and the proprietary method developed by NAKIVO.

The feature supports Backup encryption to ensure data is securely encrypted and transferred, preventing unauthorized access and maintaining data confidentiality.

Immutability is supported for backups stored in supported repositories.

A transporter injected inside a Proxmox VE host or a Proxmox VE node can be edited when locked within a job run.

For a full list of supported functionality, see the corresponding section in Feature Requirements.
