First a disclaimer: I never used Ceph myself, my superficial knowledge is just from reading the manuals and lurking in this forum. So take my ramblings with a grain of salt ;)
Steve already linked Udos writeup on small clusters, but you should...
Only 3? Read https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/
Ceph scales well with more nodes+ OSDs. I would not want 1000 VMs on only 3 storage nodes.
What problem do you want to solve you can't solve with your existing setup?
ProxmoxVE is way more flexible than a bare metal Linux server or a NAS OS like UnRAID, OpenMediaVault or Truenas. It's also great if you want to teach yourself network...

How many backup jobs are running at the same time is (nearly) irrelevant. PBS needs to access (pseudo-) random .chunks in any case. For writing new, modified data, that is.
For already existing chunks it just reads only metadata to know this...
Thanks for that idea! I used your example to copy the certificate into the iDRAC9 of our Dell server.

i was mentally already prepared (and of course created vm-backups before) to reinstall those main proxmox packages mentioned above, until i created a dummy file (/etc/postfix/main.cf) with nonsense content as i am not using mailing on this...
*Autsch!*
Ich habe (beruflich, nicht im Homelab - aber ich muss einfach antworten...) gerade etwas umstrukturiert, "normale" ssh-keys verwende ich seit vielen, vielen, vielen Jahren.
Meine jetzigen ssh-keys sind nur dann greifbar, wenn ein...
