Proxmox Backup Server 4

Foreword

The use of a separate Proxmox Backup Server for uploading backups from another Proxmox Backup Server on HDD-Housing may offer greater security against ransomware and attackers. The Proxmox Backup Server connected to HDD-Housing should be operated in pull mode. If operating in push mode is necessary, you can find the necessary permissions here: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/managing-remotes.html#sync-direction-push

If you want to backup multiple Proxmox Backup Server, use namespaces or create seperate buckets and a Datastore for each bucket.
