This is not true. Proxmox backup use a special qemu feature to make snapshots (copy before write), and this is storage independent, i.e. it also works on NFS/raw.
Its not only compression. See the output of "proxmox-backup-client benchmark". For example, SHA256 checksum computation speed is 13% compared to the reference system.
3-2-1 backup rule: You should have three total copies, use two different media (disk and tape, usually), and keep one copy offsite (tape).
You will be always able to restore the offsite tape.
Again, pmxcfs is not a general purpose file system, and we have bumped the limits where sensible in the past.
I suggest that you use a real cluster file system if you run into limits, for example cephfs, ...
Plus, we're always interested in improving things. As soon as I have an idea to do...
pmxcfs is not a filesystem used to store arbitrary data. Instead, It is used to store PVE configuration into
a transactional database. Each write is atomic and synced to the disk! So please use other filesystems if you want
to store large files. pmxcfs is not meant for that, and was never...
