|
||
`Virtual machine`_
|
||
|
||
A virtual machine is a program that can execute an entire
|
||
operating system inside an emulated hardware environment.
|
||
|
||
`Container`_
|
||
|
||
A container is an isolated user space. Programs run directly on
|
||
the host's kernel, but with limited access to the host resources.
|
||
|
||
Datastore
|
||
|
||
A place to store backups. A directory which contains the backup data.
|
||
The current implemenation is file-system based.
|
||
|
||
`Rust`_
|
||
|
||
Rust is a new, fast and memory-efficient system programming
|
||
language. It has no runtime or garbage collector. Rust’s rich type
|
||
system and ownership model guarantee memory-safety and
|
||
thread-safety. I can eliminate many classes of bugs
|
||
at compile-time.
|
||
|
||
`Sphinx`_
|
||
|
||
Is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and
|
||
beautiful documentation. It was originally created for the
|
||
documentation of the Python programming language. It has excellent facilities for the
|
||
documentation of software projects in a range of languages.
|
||
|
||
`reStructuredText`_
|
||
|
||
Is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext
|
||
markup syntax and parser system.
|
||
|
||
`FUSE`
|
||
|
||
Filesystem in Userspace (`FUSE <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace>`_)
|
||
defines an interface which makes it possible to implement a filesystem in
|
||
userspace as opposed to implementing it in the kernel. The fuse
|
||
kernel driver handles filesystem requests and sends them to a
|
||
userspace application.
|
||
|
||
Remote
|
||
|
||
A remote Proxmox Backup Server installation and credentials for a user on it.
|
||
You can pull datastores from a remote to a local datastore in order to
|
||
have redundant backups.
|
||
|
||
Schedule
|
||
|
||
Certain tasks, for example pruning and garbage collection, need to be
|
||
performed on a regular basis. Proxmox Backup Server uses a subset of the
|
||
`systemd Time and Date Specification
|
||
<https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.time.html#>`_.
|
||
The subset currently supports time of day specifications and weekdays, in
|
||
addition to the shorthand expressions 'minutely', 'hourly', 'daily'.
|
||
There is no support for specifying timezones, the tasks are run in the
|
||
timezone configured on the server.
