Hi, I've been working with tizbac over the last few weeks on some major improvements to his PBS client project, which has now been renamed to Salvanza - https://salvanza.org and a 2.0.0 release has now been made.

We have added a full Windows and Linux desktop GUI, with backup, restore, undelete, and rollback features, plus enhanced the CLI tools. In addition there is a bootable ISO based on Clonezilla that enables a Bare Metal Restore option for disaster recovery.

Full machine backups as -vm type can also be restored into PVE, with a few additional steps that effectively allows P2V functionality. Alternatively backup a whole physical disk then create a blank VM and restore using the BMR ISO into the VM.

Even for those that have tried it recently, I think you will see a huge improvement in what it has to offer.

It remains a totally free and open source project under GPL-3.0.

MSI installer, plus .deb, .rpm and Arch packages are available for AMD64 and ARM64 systems, as well as the bootable recovery ISO for use via CD, USB or Ventoy.

Please do let us know what you think and provide any feedback by raising an Issue on Github at https://github.com/Salvanza/salvanza_client
