Hello all,

I'm hoping to get some advice on my self hosting environment. I currently run Proxmox VE with a few VMs, and use Proxmox VE's built in VM backup method to my NAS. I don't currently have a good backup method for the host server itself, and I know I'm playing with fire not having that properly backed up.

I have an older laptop that I'm considering turning into a Proxmox Backup Server, which should allow me to backup the host server and VMs, which would make me feel a lot better. The one thing I haven't really seen info on in my research is if there's a convenient way to backup THE backup server. If anyone uses PBS, do you back that up as well? How so?

I appreciate any assistance or advice!
