I have already a set up with a iKOOLCORE NUC, the palm-sized mini PC with Alder Lake-N -i3-N300 -16GB / 1TB running

Proxmox Virtual Environment 8.1.5 and have Home Assistant running on it,, that I use for all my medical things around the home.

I 'm in need of general help to try to do another setup with the same machine and update to the newer version of Proxmox but not fully sure how I will have a backup device to help me out if one of the machines fail.

I have Home Assistant at the moment already doing auto backups in case of failure to the cloud but I have no other machine to get it to boot up more or less right away, the setup process I have done is not at all straight forward and took time to setup, plus the device takes a few months to get to me why I'm thinking to get one just in case of failures.

What I'm wondering is how do I get a second to run like the first one at the same time but on a different ip address if this is possible.
so then I know I can send the backup file to it and run it and then just transfer the usb sonoff onto the new iKOOLCORE NUC, the palm-sized mini PC with Alder Lake-N -i3-N300 -16GB

And help or advice on this setup be much apricated
