Hello world,

Can i mount a PBS (idealy 2.x) as a "backup repository" on a old promox VE 5.x server ?

On proxmox VE 5.x, the PBS backend did not yet exist on GUI...

Best regards all
 
Thanks Fabian.

I understand, but my experience with upgrades from 5.x to 6.x has not been very conclusive so far, especially in terms of storage arrays and cluster management.
So sometimes, we prefer not to upgrade a solution that works in production...

I think i can mount NFS service on PBS to propose at least standard backup to old promox 5.X..

Best regards
 
I am sure that the Debian version under PVE 5.x is no longer supported. If your environment is not 100% air gapped, then this is a very bad security practice.
