I‘ve got 2 Machines with Proxmox on both installed. One hosts my data and media and runs Services like Jellyfin, NAS,… The other one is a Mini-PC that hosts my Services like Adguard, Home Assistant,…

Whats the best way to Backup the data and configs of those 2 machines? Installing Proxmox Backup Server on each and store the Backups on a seperate HDD? Or would it be better if a move all the services to a single machine and use the second only for backups?

thank you!

    I have different vms which all write to an smb mount.

    Then I have another VM that runs duplicati and mounts that smb share, but also another one just for the backups. And only this duplicati container has access to the backup share, which isolates my backups for security reasons. The only thing still involved and able to read and manipulate my data is the router which can see all the traffic.

    Now idk if this is the best setup, but it feels secure to me and it works for me. Maybe more experienced people can chime in to agree or disagree.

      i need to look into duplicati. never heard of it before. i guess best thing noe is to install pbs and look from there. my goal would be to have one copy of my data on site and one in another place.
