Hello ProxMox Community,

I am interested in ProxMox config backup/restore.

I have two ProxMox NUCs 13 PROs for a dev_test & prod environments.
Furthermore, I would like to back up/restore its configuration in the best way possible.
Currently, they are standalone without configured 2FA & no API tokens set up.

It is pity it cannot be done via the UI, although I was able to find those:

https://github.com/marrobHD/proxmox-tools
https://github.com/DerDanilo/proxmox-stuff
https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/#proxmox-ve-host-backup
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/c...e-a-host-to-another-drive.147846/#post-669042

I would like to ask which of those scripts you can recommend for achieving ProxMox configuration backup/restore for all the affected areas? Users/groups/storage/network .etc. VM Backups are configured via the UI to a NAS location attached via NFS, as well as to a standalone ProxMox Backup Server. Perhaps you are aware of others?

Once I have completed the setup, I would like to configure ProxMox 2FA along with API tokens for certain tasks. In different sources I came across, it looks like 2FA or generated tokens need to be set up newly due to security reasons they are not/cannot be backed up?

Thank you for the support/clarification.
