Hello,

I will need to run the following VM's
- 1 Critical cPanel Server (8vCPU, 12Gb RAM, 500Gb Disk) primarily for email and basic website hosting.
- 2x Windows Server with ISS and MS SQL (Each will have 4vcpu, 12Gb RAM, 200Gb Disk) for in-house developed web apps.

I will setup the Proxmox VE on a dedicated server with the following specs on OVH.
AMD EPYC 4344P - 8c/16t - 3.8GHz/5.3GHz | 64GB DDR5 5200MHz | 2× 960GB SSD NVMe Soft RAID | 1Gbps Port

For the backups, I'd like to have a Proxmox Backup Server on another provider with one of Contabo's Storage VPS w/ cPanel on the following specs.
- 12 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 4TB SSD, 1Gbps port.
- 2 Storage Partitions, 1Tb for cPanel and PBS Installation, and 3Tb for PBS backup storage.
- cPanel will only have minimal users with 5-10 domains for basic website and emails.
- The cPanel and PBS system will be backed in the one PVE server.

Any inputs and recommendations on this setup?
Can I install PBS on Almalinux with cPanel or the only choice is Debian?
Will there be no conflicts or issues with cPanel when running along side with PBS on the same OS?
Is this setup better than having a PBS VM inside the PVE then mounting the storage remotely from another provider?

Hope to hear your inputs!
Thank you.
Neo
