Hi, We currently have a Proxmox cluster with 10 nodes and a PBS. Sometimes the VMs hang / run unperformant during the backup, so I have read up on fleecing. Each node now has a local SSD, mounted as LVM-thin, in /etc/vzdump.conf I have activated fleecing and set the local storage. A manuel...

Hi, I have two Proxmox hosts running in a homeblab setting. I know that with Proxmox Backup Server you can enable encryption, but Proxmox VE doesn't come with encryption out of the box. My goal is to do an encrypted offsite backup in case something catastrophic happens (like fire), preferably...
