Tuxis launches free Proxmox Backup Server BETA service

I want to try out free account. But why does Tuxis need my telephone number? I mean it should be optional field.

Since the amount of people we can't mail when we need to contact them is high, we want a second way to contact them. Else we would be forced to disable their account.

You can't login to the PBS web interface to create users. Access is limited. You do not get a dedicated PBS environment. If you need a user, create it via https://portal.tuxis.cloud/

Hope this helps.

You can use API tokens for that: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/user-management.html#api-tokens

EDIT: Maybe also see https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html#garbage-collection

Thank you both, indeed i've never used API tokens in PBS. It works now

However there is one thing which bothers me. I started some backup (about 20GB). At some point disk usage rised to 10% and Ive stopped the process manually (aborted it). Normally in such cases i would go to shell and manually delete leftovers from datastore to have clear situation. But i don't have access to shell here. How can i clean this old backup? (disk usage stays at 10% but there is no content pointing to this backup in datastore)

I live in Brazil, is it possible to use the paid version?

I believe this post answered such questions negatively (but maybe there is a reseller in Brazil?): https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/t...-backup-server-beta-service.76320/post-672572

I didn't find it in Brazil.

We can't deliver in Brazil due to tax rules from Brazil. We are an EU company, so within the EU there is never a problem for companies. Outside the EU, we have to look up the local tax rules for delivering services. Some countries state that we can invoice without tax with no limits. Some countries do have limits, and after you cross those limits, it becomes complex web of tax rules and submission of sales to different authorities.
Keep in mind, we are selling for € 18,- per TB So when we cross a threshold in a country, it won't be with thousands of euro's a month.

That said, within the EU we can even offer PBS with storage in the Netherlands and Germany (for our German customers).. Maybe later even in more EU countries..

that a new meme coin?

Although it is correct English (maybe British?) we have changed it in something more common


Thanks for pointing it out.

What Does Arrears Billing Mean?​

In billing, the most common options are: billing in advance and billing in arrears. Billing in arrears simply means that you bill your customers after the job is complete. Instead of taking payment beforehand to cover expenses or other costs, you must wait until after the work is completed to get paid. You may have also heard it referred to as “invoice in arrears,” “paid in arrears,” or “arrears billing.”
