Proxmox 8.4 soon EOL, Do i NEED Px Backup Server?

[Onslow]

PBS hosted on the same pve instance that its serving to back up becomes effectively useless should you brick the host

@alexskysilk :-( I have believed that it isn't useless. That you only need to fresh install PVE and create PBS VM (having notes about basic setup parameters and passwords) and reattach the datastore which is on a separate drive, of course.

Am I wrong?
