Hello, I am reading the documentation and so far I manged to install proxmox client for backup server on Ubuntu 20.04 which is not an virtual machine and I succesfuly backed up it from host side to proxmox backup server, however I can't see in documentation how to set up incremental backup for this machine. Since it is not an VM, how can I use incremental backup and is it even possible to do so with physical hosts? Do I need to run proxmox client from host with crontab or what?
How to backup physical host incrementally?
- Thread starter tomo
- Start date
the next run of proxmox-backup-client (provided parameters like repository, type and ID are identical) should
- fetch the last snapshot from the PBS server
- read, chunk and hash all the data
- upload only chunks which are not part of the last snapshot
so unless your bottle neck is reading and your backed-up data hasn't all changed in the meantime, you should see a nice speedup
