Im thinking of using Proxmox Backup Server but im not really sure how to do it so that the backup system is redundant (at least to a certain point)
So right now i have a proxmox cluster with multiple nodes, and uses ceph.
I then have another proxmox cluster that that uses ceph-client to mount the cephfs of the first proxmox cluster.
In the second cluster i have a datastore that is pointing to a directory, that goes to the cephfs on the first cluster (ceph-client mounts the same directory on every node).
So all the backups made on the second cluster are stored on the ceph fs of the first cluster.
Now im thinking of using the PBS.
Would it be ok to have PBS as a vm on the second cluster and use ceph client to mount a directory with a external cephfs ? And then create a datastore on PBS pointing to the cephfs mount point. The PBS vm would move to other nodes in case of problems and the backups would be on a different cluster in case something bad happens.
Would this work ? Im thinking it should.
