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!

    while the machines are physicaly next to esch other i also runy whole home automation over zwave. the reason i have 2 machines currently is that the media server used to run truenas and i virtualized everything there. since truenas deprecated its public build repository i wanted to replace it with open media vault, but since i dont really used shares i figured that proxmox would be better suited. so i set up a machine where i host all the services until i figure out how i want to run my media-server.

    i still need to find a way to setup a simple sambashare via a web gui and a good backup solution.

      I’m running openmediavault as an VM for file shares and backups with proxmox backup server. Works pretty well. I’ve got a physical backup server in detached garage and another in a VPS which syncs the most important parts to remote location.
