Host System Administration
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
`Proxmox Backup`_ is based on the famous Debian_ Linux
|
|
distribution. This means that you have access to the entire range of
|
|
Debian packages, and that the base system is well documented. The `Debian
|
|
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, based on the Ubuntu
|
|
kernel. That kernel includes drivers for ZFS_.
|
|
|
|
The following sections will concentrate on backup related topics. They
|
|
will explain things which are different on `Proxmox Backup`_, or
|
|
tasks which are commonly used on `Proxmox Backup`_. For other topics,
|
|
please refer to the standard Debian documentation.
