If you have any feedback, suggestions, or question, please use this opportunity here.

Proxmox VE
Native support for host-based backups of Proxmox VE virtual machines (VMs) gives users even greater freedom of choice to best fit changing business needs for both virtualization and cloud. Key highlights of Veeam’s Proxmox VE integration include:
Immutable backups — keep on-premises and cloud backups of Proxmox VE VMs safe and protected from encryption by ransomware, accidental deletions, or malicious destruction during cyberattacks with storage-based immutability. Or leverage native support for tape and for rotated drives to achieve true airgap at the lowest possible cost.
Uncompromised backup performance — powered by advanced changed block tracking (CBT) integration and HotAdd backup mode, Proxmox VE users can now leverage fast and efficient virtual machine (VM) backups, minimizing disruptions from long-running backups and ensuring smooth day- to-day operations. Uniquely, Veeam is the first to bring support for CBT backups of even powered-off VMs to market.
Veeam BitLooker — by automatically excluding unused disk blocks, such as those belonging to deleted guest OS files, this intelligent feature significantly enhances backup performance while conserving valuable storage space.
Storage flexibility — support for all Veeam Backup & Replication backup repository types, including hardened repositories and object storage, empowers businesses to easily create backup repositories from any storage that suits their RTO/RPO requirements and budget.
Freedom of full VM recovery — VMs from leading virtualization platforms (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Red Hat Virtualization, Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager) or public cloud (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud) can be promptly restored to Proxmox VE — and the other way around too, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity. You can also restore your physical servers backups to Proxmox VMs, simplifying disaster recovery and P2V migrations.
Advanced granular recovery capabilities — quickly recover all changed and deleted files, due to a ransomware attack for example, ensuring business continuity and peace of mind in the face of unexpected data loss or unplanned disruption.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen and with best regards
