.. _pve-integration: `Proxmox VE`_ Integration ------------------------- You need to define a new storage with type 'pbs' on your `Proxmox VE`_ node. The following example uses ``store2`` as storage name, and assumes the server address is ``localhost``, and you want to connect as ``user1@pbs``. .. code-block:: console # pvesm add pbs store2 --server localhost --datastore store2 # pvesm set store2 --username user1@pbs --password <secret> .. note:: If you would rather not pass your password as plain text, you can pass the ``--password`` parameter, without any arguments. This will cause the program to prompt you for a password upon entering the command. If your backup server uses a self signed certificate, you need to add the certificate fingerprint to the configuration. You can get the fingerprint by running the following command on the backup server: .. code-block:: console # proxmox-backup-manager cert info | grep Fingerprint Fingerprint (sha256): 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe Please add that fingerprint to your configuration to establish a trust relationship: .. code-block:: console # pvesm set store2 --fingerprint 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe After that you should be able to see storage status with: .. code-block:: console # pvesm status --storage store2 Name Type Status Total Used Available % store2 pbs active 3905109820 1336687816 2568422004 34.23% Having added the PBS datastore to `Proxmox VE`_, you can backup VMs and containers in the same way you would for any other storage device within the environment (see `PVE Admin Guide: Backup and Restore <https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_vzdump>`_.
