Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
`Proxmox Backup`_ is split into a server part and a client part. The
|
|
server part comes with it's own graphical installer, but we also
|
|
ship Debian_ package repositories, so you can easily install those
|
|
packages on any Debian_ based system.
|
|
|
|
.. include:: package-repositories.rst
|
|
|
|
|
|
Server installation
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The backup server stores the actual backup data, but also provides a
|
|
web based GUI for various management tasks, for example disk
|
|
management.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: You always need a backup server. It is not possible to use
|
|
`Proxmox Backup`_ without the server part.
|
|
|
|
The server is based on Debian, therefore the disk image (ISO file) provided
|
|
by us includes a complete Debian system ("buster" for version 1.x) as
|
|
well as all necessary backup packages.
|
|
|
|
Using the installer will guide you through the setup, allowing
|
|
you to partition the local disk(s), apply basic system configurations
|
|
(e.g. timezone, language, network) and install all required packages.
|
|
Using the provided ISO will get you started in just a few minutes,
|
|
that's why we recommend this method for new and existing users.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, `Proxmox Backup`_ server can be installed on top of an
|
|
existing Debian system.
|
|
|
|
Using the `Proxmox Backup`_ Installer
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can download the ISO from |DOWNLOADS|.
|
|
It includes the following:
|
|
|
|
* Complete operating system (Debian Linux, 64-bit)
|
|
|
|
* The `Proxmox Backup`_ server installer, which partitions the local
|
|
disk(s) with ext4, ext3, xfs or ZFS and installs the operating
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
* Our Linux kernel with ZFS support.
|
|
|
|
* Complete toolset for administering backups and all necessary
|
|
resources
|
|
|
|
* Web based management interface for using the toolset
|
|
|
|
.. note:: During the installation process, the complete server
|
|
is used by default and all existing data is removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install `Proxmox Backup`_ server on Debian
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Proxmox ships as a set of Debian packages, so you can install it on
|
|
top of a standard Debian installation. After configuring the
|
|
:ref:`sysadmin_package_repositories`, you need to run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# apt-get update
|
|
# apt-get install proxmox-backup-server
|
|
|
|
Above code keeps the current (Debian) kernel and installs a minimal
|
|
set of required packages.
|
|
|
|
If you want to install the same set of packages as the installer
|
|
does, please use the following:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# apt-get update
|
|
# apt-get install proxmox-backup
|
|
|
|
This installs all required packages, the Proxmox kernel with ZFS_
|
|
support, and a set of commonly useful packages.
|
|
|
|
Installing on top of an existing Debian_ installation looks easy, but
|
|
it presumes that you have correctly installed the base system, and you
|
|
know how you want to configure and use the local storage. Network
|
|
configuration is also completely up to you.
|
|
|
|
In general, this is not trivial, especially when you use LVM_ or
|
|
ZFS_.
|
|
|
|
Install Proxmox Backup server on `Proxmox VE`_
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
After configuring the
|
|
:ref:`sysadmin_package_repositories`, you need to run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# apt-get update
|
|
# apt-get install proxmox-backup-server
|
|
|
|
.. caution:: Installing the backup server directly on the hypervisor
|
|
is not recommended. It is more secure to use a separate physical
|
|
server to store backups. If the hypervisor server fails, you can
|
|
still access your backups.
|
|
|
|
Client installation
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Install `Proxmox Backup`_ client on Debian
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Proxmox ships as a set of Debian packages, so you can install it on
|
|
top of a standard Debian installation. After configuring the
|
|
:ref:`sysadmin_package_repositories`, you need to run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# apt-get update
|
|
# apt-get install proxmox-backup-client
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing from source
|
|
