One can already use a BTRFS based datastore, so that avoided the need for a "storage plugin", and we wanted to go a bit slowly here with that new support of root FS. If it holds up OK in Proxmox VE we could enable it for the next point release.
Proxmox Backup Server 2.0 released!

Question:
How/where do I select "VLAN aware" in Proxmox Backup Server (Network Interfaces) ?

That question is not really related to the PBS 2.0 release, please open a new thread in the future.
That's not supported there in the web-interface, as simple appliance only basic networking configruation is exposed.
You can naturally edit
For co-installed PVE + PBS it's recommended to only use PVE for network settings.

Sorry, will do next time (open a new thread that is).
I see the checkbox for "VLAN aware", but cannot activate it via the web interface.
Ok, thanks again for the info!
Hello,
I just upgraded, and things went smooth (still tests to make for so far so good). Only thing to point out is that is stating version 0.1-0 "proxmox-backup-server: 2.0.5-1 (running version: 0.1.0)" ad not the installed one.
Any sugestions to solve this? GUI seems to be the correct one.

That was a cosmetic glitch due to some restructuring of the source code, but it only got to the
Anyhow, should be fixed again, as a minor upgrade was published not much after the "bad" one got out, so if you update to latest it should be correct again, i.e. to package

So the Update is: PVE to 7.0 along with PBS to 2.0 upgrade went smooth! Nicely Done.

Good morning,
We're evaluating Proxmox backup server as new backup platform.
Currently we're using Proxmox VE with our custom scripts to manage backups based on ZFS.
This way, we can use our backup server both for zfs backups and for spinning up some clones when needed.
Based on what I read online, PBS is not offering the possibility to start up lxc or vm.
Am I wrong ?
Furthermore, can I retain the current zfs backup, sending incremental snapshots to the current backup datasets, or the product completely creates a new non-zfs storage ?
Sorry for the probably obvious questions, but I never tried or saw a demo about pbs.

Hi,
Short answers: While we recommend using a whole bare metal host for the primary backup server, Proxmox Backup Server can be installed in a VM or in a Container just fine.
PBS provides its own CAS (Content Addressable Storage) which is independent of the FS used. You can still do ZFS send/recv in theory, but in practice it makes much more sense to setup a PBS on the remote and use the integrated sync jobs:

I did not even know there was a Proxmox 7, things move so fast!
Is the proxmox backup that is included in Proxmox VE the same application?

Is that to say that upgrading PBS should be done after upgrading an existing PVE 6.4 cluster? Is PBS 2.0 not compatible with previous PVE versions?
Thanks!
i think this sentence is meant for pbs/pve parallel installations on the same host.
pve 6.4 should be perfectly able to backup/restore to/from a pbs 2.0 installation
Hey all, just updated to 2.0 and noticed that the VLAN option is gone, nor I can update the existing VLAN that I have
Am I missing some component?

Ooooh okay that makes more sense. Felt like there should have been more attention on the topic if my thoughts were true, glad to hear that PBS running on an independent system/or VM can be upgraded without losing connectivity/compatibility in communicating with older versions of PVE.
Thanks Dominik!
