Hey,

I am new to PBS. I have now got my server backups working and am now wondering how to backup clients to PBS. Proxmox Backup Client is not available on OpenSUSE as far as I can see.

In the past I have used a storage box that I connected to Pika via sftp, but now that I have PBS I want to get rid of the storage box.

Another idea was to create a dataset under my zfs pool and make it available via nfs. I could let Borg then do the backup on the client and let it Store on the dataset which then I can backup via Proxmox Backup client on the pve but I'm scared that would compromise the data due to the double wrapping. Do you have a good solution for this maybe?
