Hello,
i was listening to a podcast with Alex Neumann regarding backup and stumbled accross his idea i like to do aswell, which is offsite backup at your friends homelab.
Im running a mini-pc with Proxmox as a host and VM Homeassistant, 2x LXC DMS, LXC VPN, and a few smaller LXCs and a VM gameserver. I have a 2TB Datacenter SATA with enought space.
Long story short, we have a Site2Site VPN up and running. I deployed a dedicated subnet/vlan for him to reach and installed the PBS in that subnet so he can reach it.
First question: Is that best practise that he can reach the GUI? Or should i deploy the PBS in my server-vlan and then attech "his" vlan to the machine?
Second question: Im kinda stuck with the partitions / hdd the PBS is requireing me to have. How would i tackle this? I have 1,5TB as LVMThin and 500GB as ext4 for local snapshots and backups. Do i need to provide some space within the VM-disc on the lvmthin? Or should i reduce the lvmthin and mount lets say 100gb as ZFS and have the PBS using that?
Is it even recommended to host a PBS on a Proxmox?
I think what makes me struggle is that the PBS is hosted on the Proxmox while beeing able to deploy different backup-storages as well.
Thanks
