Hello All.
We are updating our proxmox and proxmox backup storage to new major version.
Generally we use ssh as the server is in a datacenter and not possible to have access directly.
We would like to secure the connection so we think to use screen package to update our proxmox.

Screen or GNU Screen is a terminal multiplexer. In other words, it means that you can start a screen session and then open any number of windows (virtual terminals) inside that session. Processes running in Screen will continue to run when their window is not visible even if you get disconnected

It is advise to update proxmox with screen or should we avoid it?

Thanks for your help

Using tmux or screen can definitely make sense if you fear that a dropped connection might interrupt the update process. I don't see any reason why one should not use it :)
