`Proxmox VE`_ Integration
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Proxmox Backup Server can be integrated into a Proxmox VE standalone or cluster
|
|
setup, by adding it as a storage in Proxmox VE.
|
|
|
|
See also the `Proxmox VE Storage - Proxmox Backup Server
|
|
<https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#storage_pbs>`_ section
|
|
of the Proxmox VE Administration Guide for Proxmox VE specific documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the Proxmox VE Web-Interface
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Proxmox VE has native API and web interface integration of Proxmox Backup
|
|
Server as of `Proxmox VE 6.3
|
|
<https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_6.3>`_.
|
|
|
|
A Proxmox Backup Server can be added under ``Datacenter -> Storage``.
|
|
|
|
Using the Proxmox VE Command-Line
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You need to define a new storage with type 'pbs' on your `Proxmox VE`_
|
|
node. The following example uses ``store2`` as the storage's 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 enter 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 view 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 Proxmox Backup Server 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 `Proxmox VE Admin Guide: Backup and Restore
|
|
<https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_vzdump>`_.
