Hi,
I am using PBS since the beta release in july. It works pretty good and i'm happy of the result so far.
I would like to know if it's possible to do a backup of the backup server.
I was thinking about installing a second PBS just to backup the first one or to do clones daily and transform them into templates in case i encounter a failure. But i imagine there are some white papers i don't know on how to secure my backup server.
I know it can seem stupid to do a backup of a backup but in my sector it's pretty vital for us to have an higly secure backup infrastructure.

Thank you in advance.
 
If pbs is virtualized on pve just use the old vzdump to create a backup of it. If its hardware use clonezilla.

Ideally you would have a second offsite pbs and use the sync feature.
 
Hi, Thank you for your answer.
Is there a documentation on the old vzdump i can find somewhere ?
Thank you again
