Hey guys,
I was wondering what you're using to backup and restore the whole supervisor?

I do backup the pve config and all vms of course, but sometimes I wish restoring the whole supervisor when things go to shit could be as easy as restoring a vm.

So what do you guys use to backup the whole thing? I need a solution that would work with remote servers in datacenters as well.

Any thoughts? Oh and.... wouldn't mind if it didn't cost a fortune :D
 
Personally, I just minimize how much I customize PVE and back up /etc. I recently replaced my Intel server with a much newer AMD one and this approach had me back up pretty quickly. No worries about requiring different firmware packages or different devices that need a rebuilt initramdisk and that type of thing. But I only have the one machine. Enterprise users have a different set of problems.

A lot of people around here seem to use tools like Ansible to deploy their machines. That method kind of side-steps a whole set of issues, and is likely faster than what I do.
