System Requirements
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We recommend using high quality server hardware when running Proxmox Backup in
|
||
|
|
production. To further decrease the impact of a failed host, you can set up
|
||
|
|
periodic, efficient, incremental :ref:`datastore synchronization <syncjobs>`
|
||
|
|
from other Proxmox Backup Server instances.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minimum Server Requirements, for Evaluation
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These minimum requirements are for evaluation purposes only and should not be
|
||
|
|
used in production.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* CPU: 64bit (*x86-64* or *AMD64*), 2+ Cores
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Memory (RAM): 2 GB RAM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Hard drive: more than 8GB of space.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Network card (NIC)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recommended Server System Requirements
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* CPU: Modern AMD or Intel 64-bit based CPU, with at least 4 cores
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Memory: minimum 4 GiB for the OS, filesystem cache and Proxmox Backup Server
|
||
|
|
daemons. Add at least another GiB per TiB storage space.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* OS storage:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 32 GiB, or more, free storage space
|
||
|
|
* Use a hardware RAID with battery protected write cache (*BBU*) or a
|
||
|
|
redundant ZFS setup (ZFS is not compatible with a hardware RAID
|
||
|
|
controller).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Backup storage:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use only SSDs, for best results
|
||
|
|
* If HDDs are used: Using a metadata cache is highly recommended, for example,
|
||
|
|
add a ZFS :ref:`special device mirror <local_zfs_special_device>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Redundant Multi-GBit/s network interface cards (NICs)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Supported Web Browsers for Accessing the Web Interface
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To access the server's web-based user interface, we recommend using one of the
|
||
|
|
following browsers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Extended Support Release
|
||
|
|
* Chrome, a release from the current year
|
||
|
|
* Microsoft's currently supported version of Edge
|
||
|
|
* Safari, a release from the current year
