what's the best strategy for backup?

To use an external NAS?

I prefer encryption and storing off site.

We're rotating external usb disks offsite.

Thats for DR. App data is backed up online.

Hi,
depends on the usage - I have on some systems an raid-1 with 2TB-Disks for the system (100GB) and all other space for backup.
I use links to get an folder for each node and use rsync to copy the content to the other node.
Like this:

/backup/dump -> /bckup/proxmox-a

ls /bckup
proxmox-a
proxmox-b
proxmox-c

The daily backup is done by bacula - the pve-backup is for desaster recovery and special use cases only.

We use Idera with exceptional success.

We install it offsite on a web host or provide a hosted option to our clients depending.

Never had a problem with restoration on proxmox or vsphere
