Proxmox backup doesn't have the features I was looking for. I would like to avoid reinstalling the os. Is it possible to just remove the proxmox backup portion? Is it a standard Debian install? Thanks Brad

I am new to proxmox backup. I have watch the videos, read the docs, but I can see how to schedule a file level backup on a host. Is the idea then to just use cron to issue the backup client command? The other question I have, is I don't see how to specify a differential backup. Not sure I am...
