`Proxmox Backup`_ is based on the famous Debian_ Linux
|
2021-10-11 15:15:19 +00:00
|
|
|
distribution. This means that you have access to the entire range of
|
|
|
|
|
Debian packages, and that the base system is well documented. The `Debian
|
2019-11-15 12:24:45 +00:00
|
|
|
Administrator's Handbook`_ is available online, and provides a
|
|
|
|
|
comprehensive introduction to the Debian operating system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A standard `Proxmox Backup`_ installation uses the default
|
|
|
|
|
repositories from Debian, so you get bug fixes and security updates
|
|
|
|
|
through that channel. In addition, we provide our own package
|
|
|
|
|
repository to roll out all Proxmox related packages. This includes
|
|
|
|
|
updates to some Debian packages when necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We also deliver a specially optimized Linux kernel, where we enable
|
|
|
|
|
all required virtualization and container features. That kernel
|
2021-10-11 15:15:19 +00:00
|
|
|
includes drivers for ZFS_, as well as several hardware drivers. For example,
|
2019-11-15 12:24:45 +00:00
|
|
|
we ship Intel network card drivers to support their newest hardware.

2019-11-15 12:24:45 +00:00
|
|
