Backup the VMs of 3 PVE server into one Proxmox backup server

[Tidiosky Maximus]

Dear all,

We have actually 3 PVE running on differents dedicated server. We want to install a backup server in order to backup the vms of these pve.

Is this scenario is feasible ?

Best regards,

Yes. You could use one common datastore for each pve ( better deduplication ) or save them to different datastores. I would use different namespaces and apikeys though to separate the different vms Backups and ensure, that one hacked pve or apikey wouldn't compromise the other ones

Thank you for your quick reply.

I will proceed in that way.

I noticed a typo in my first reply: I meant that you are free to use a common datastore (although I would use namespaces) for the backups or one dedicated datastore for each PVE (better seperation but will need more space). Different apikeys and namespaces are a good idea in any case
