I want to create a backup solution for my PBS which is installed directly on the PVE as a package (i know that it's not recommended) and I am wondering which config files and so on I need to backup to restore the PBS instance in case of a hardware failure?

Config files are here: /etc/proxmox-backup

What about the inventory of the backup? Or could this be restored by just reading everything again from the magnet tapes that I have? I saw that there is a function in PBS for something like that?
 
If you got another server you could use the build in sync/replication feature.

And if I understand it right you just need a backup of the complete datastore and your keys.

Best would be to test if you can restore your PBS while everything is working so you know that it will work if something bad happens.
