There is an open issue for this on our bug tracker [1], but no, currently this isn't supported. You may be able to use something

s3fs-fuse to add this functionality [2]. However, be aware that there have been reports of issues with this approach, and we do not officially support that. So there are no guarantees about the stability of such a setup.[1]: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2943

Works very well
Works very well
There are options like s3fs-fuse or goofys, which allow to mount s3 bucket on Linux.

StarWind VTL can be used with PBS as a backup target. VTL will handle the offload to S3-compatible storage. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-tape-library

I manage IT for a small company (Proxmox PVE with 1TB NVMe disks + PBS with 2TB HDDs) and 2TB on iDRIVE S2 cloud.
The StarWind VTL is free to use? If it isn't how much it cost? There is no price online!
I can see the "VTL free" option and comparasion to commercial product but cannot understand the differences: local storage has a minus and cache has a 4 tape limit. Can you elaborate about this?
I'd like to understand how the VTL will offload to S3: can I do a local backup using VTL and later during the day it upload to S3 compatible storage?
Or this is LOCAL STORAGE (not present on VTL free ) so all backup will to be directly on cloud (and slooooow)?
Thanks

Hey @jader,
StarWind VTL has free version. It has limitation on 4 local tapes (it is called cache), so you can have 4 local tapes at a time for backups, which can then be offloaded to cloud. You can do a local backup and later upload to cloud.
Free version is managed via powershell (script sapmles can be found here: C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell) and can be monitored via GUI.
