Proxmox Backup Server. It's life-changing. I back up every night and I can't tell you the number of times I've completely messed something up only to revert it in a matter of minutes to the nightly backup. You need a separate machine running it--something that kept me from doing it for the longest time--but it is 100% worth it.
I back that up to Backblaze B2 (using Duplicati currently, but I'm going to switch to Kopia), but thankfully I haven't had to use that, yet.
PBS backs up the host as well, right? Shame Veeam won't add Proxmox support. I really only backup my VMs and some basic configs
Veeam has been pretty good for my HyperV VMs, but I do wish I could find something a bit better. I've been hearing a lot about Proxmox lately. I wonder if it's worth switching to. I'm a MS guy myself so I just used what I know.
Veeam can't backup Proxmox on hypervisor level, only HyperV and VMWare
