Host System Administration

|
==========================
|
|
|
|
`Proxmox Backup`_ is based on the famous Debian_ Linux
|
|
distribution. That means that you have access to the whole world of
|
|
Debian packages, and 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, where we enable
|
|
all required virtualization and container features. That kernel
|
|
includes drivers for ZFS_, and several hardware drivers. For example,
|
|
we ship Intel network card drivers to support their newest hardware.
|
|
|
|
The following sections will concentrate on backup related topics. They
|
|
either 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.
