Can Proxmox Backup Server verify data integrity of a backup archive?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PBS uses a built-in SHA-256 checksum algorithm, to ensure data integrity. Within
each backup, a manifest file (index.json) is created, which contains a list of
all the backup files, along with their sizes and checksums. This manifest file
is used to verify the integrity of each backup.

When backing up to remote servers, do I have to trust the remote server?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PBS supports client-side encryption, meaning your data is encrypted before
it reaches the server. Thus, in the event that an attacker gains access to the
server, they will not be able to read the data.

Is the backup incremental/deduplicated?
---------------------------------------
With PBS, backups are incremental and data is deduplicated. This minimizes both
the storage consumed and the network impact.
