What is the best way to configure pbs in my case.
I have proxmox ve installed on bare metal (lenovo server) and i have 2 VMs running (1 VM app server; 1VM db server) and one template (no need for backup), i configured NAS and im able to mount that nas to proxmox VE (as nfs).
I want to backup VMs incrementaly every Sunday (for example), like im doing with vmware and veeam backup (where i incrementaly backup every vm on vmware).
So i guess the best way is to create VM one existing proxmoxm VE with proxmox bck server installed.

Hi,
if you set up the Proxmox Backup Server on top of the Proxmox VE host, the PVE host becomes your single point of failure. You will not be able to restore any backups if the PVE host is not available for some reason.

The recommendation is to use a dedicated host as Proxmox Backup Server.
