Hi, I wanted to post on this thread because it seems directly relevant. I've setup ~3 x PBS servers in the last 2 months and I think I am seeing the same problem. General trend:
- one case it was a dedicated physical host, debian10 minimal install on SW Raid / local mirror of 2 x 6tb drives. Debian is installed and working fine.
- then I start install of PBS as per wiki,
Installation — Proxmox Backup 1.0.1-1 documentation - key step is to add the APT repo source. Then issue command, "apt-get install proxmox-backup". It happily chugs along, then gets to step shown below, and hangs. Loses network. Getting console / reboot the box / and networ is still dead. In one case a reboot, then reinstall from console - not over remote SSH session - seemed sufficient.
It hangs here:
Code:

Removing ifupdown (0.8.35) ...
(STOPS HERE)
So it seems once it removes ifupdown - things go to hell.
In another case - Clean install VM / Debian10 / updated to latest. Follow same steps detailed above. Hangs at same point, with me doing setup via a SSH session. Note the VM is different place from proxmox it will be linked to. It is also a place I've managed to get a few PBS installs done without trouble.
I have tried just now, as per earlier hint in this thread,
- get onto console
- login as root
- issue command "systemctl restart networking" - and this did not appear to help in my case.
So.
I am not sure if proxmox team might be willing to try a simple test, ie,
- prep a disoosable test host, a VM or physical box
- clean install Debian 10, minimal, update to latest
- then install PBS and see what happens. And I am guessing you might see this behaviour that is being reported in this thread.
Possibly this falls into the category of "Dude, use the appliance installer, don't bug us with this".
But maybe if you do confirm a problem, at least we can update the PBS Wiki Install doc with a "warning" to specifically say, "hey, some users report this problem when you do a manual install on a base/bare/clean Deb10 Host".
