Deployment Guide
================
The deployment guide.
Backup Server Configuration
---------------------------
The command line tool to configure and manage the server is called
:command:`proxmox-backup-manager`.
Datastore Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A :term:`datastore` is a place to store backups. You can configure
several datastores, but you need at least one of them. The datastore is identified by a simple `name` and point to a directory.
The following command creates a new datastore called ``store1`` on :file:`/backup/disk1/store1`
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-manager datastore create store1 /backup/disk1/store1
To list existing datastores use:
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-manager datastore list
store1 /backup/disk1/store1
Finally, it is also possible to remove the datastore configuration:
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-manager datastore remove store1
.. note:: Above command removes the datastore configuration. It does
not delete any data from the underlying directory.
Backup Client Configuration
---------------------------
The command line client is called :command:`proxmox-backup-client`.
Respository Locations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The client uses a special repository notation to specify a datastore
on the backup server.
[[username@]server:]datastore
If you do not specify a ``username`` the default is ``root@pam``. The
default for server is to use the local host (``localhost``).
You can pass the repository by setting the ``--repository`` command
line options, or by setting the ``PBS_REPOSITORY`` environment
variable.
Environment Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``PBS_REPOSITORY``
The default backup repository.
``PBS_PASSWORD``
When set, this value is used for the password required for the
backup server.
``PBS_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD``
When set, this value is used to access the secret encryption key (if
protected by password).
