my Proxmox Backup Server Guide - Full Walkthrough Series Pt.4

hello everybody today we have a hello everybody today we have a continuation of our ultimate prox MOX continuation of our ultimate prox MOX continuation of our ultimate prox MOX walkthrough Series in which I go over walkthrough Series in which I go over walkthrough Series in which I go over everything that I'm doing to build and everything that I'm doing to build and everything that I'm doing to build and set up my home lab mostly centering and set up my home lab mostly centering and set up my home lab mostly centering and hosted with proxmox and just a real hosted with proxmox and just a real hosted with proxmox and just a real quick update since last recording one of quick update since last recording one of quick update since last recording one of these videos I've added quite a few these videos I've added quite a few these videos I've added quite a few different services that I'm going to different services that I'm going to different services that I'm going to cover in depth in some other dedicated cover in depth in some other dedicated cover in depth in some other dedicated videos for example I have a ziggy server videos for example I have a ziggy server videos for example I have a ziggy server running right here we have grafana I've running right here we have grafana I've running right here we have grafana I've separated out over Seer and Tuli for my separated out over Seer and Tuli for my separated out over Seer and Tuli for my uh kind of Plex Media Server management uh kind of Plex Media Server management uh kind of Plex Media Server management and you can see here I added a system to and you can see here I added a system to and you can see here I added a system to my cluster but I added this one a little my cluster but I added this one a little my cluster but I added this one a little prematurely one to test it out play prematurely one to test it out play prematurely one to test it out play around with it and because this is what around with it and because this is what around with it and because this is what is going to be hosting our prox MOX is going to be hosting our prox MOX is going to be hosting our prox MOX backup server the proxmox backup server backup server the proxmox backup server backup server the proxmox backup server is a wonderful piece of software that is a wonderful piece of software that is a wonderful piece of software that you can either install within proxmox you can either install within proxmox you can either install within proxmox itself you can install it on its own itself you can install it on its own itself you can install it on its own dedicated machine hell if you have a dedicated machine hell if you have a dedicated machine hell if you have a sonology Nas or something like that you sonology Nas or something like that you sonology Nas or something like that you could spin it up as a VM and use a could spin it up as a VM and use a could spin it up as a VM and use a completely different platform to back up completely different platform to back up completely different platform to back up your pro MOX containers virtual machines your pro MOX containers virtual machines your pro MOX containers virtual machines storage things like that in this box is storage things like that in this box is storage things like that in this box is really a dream come true for me this is really a dream come true for me this is really a dream come true for me this is 120 tabes of good old spinning disc 120 tabes of good old spinning disc 120 tabes of good old spinning disc storage now server part deals sent this storage now server part deals sent this storage now server part deals sent this over to me and they are sponsoring this over to me and they are sponsoring this over to me and they are sponsoring this video so thank you you probably seen video so thank you you probably seen video so thank you you probably seen them around they are on eBay fantastic them around they are on eBay fantastic them around they are on eBay fantastic ratings they have their own site that ratings they have their own site that ratings they have their own site that you can purchase uh refurbished and you can purchase uh refurbished and you can purchase uh refurbished and recertified hard drives from it's a recertified hard drives from it's a recertified hard drives from it's a pretty good deal considering that the

pretty good deal considering that the pretty good deal considering that the Seagate hard drives that I usually use Seagate hard drives that I usually use Seagate hard drives that I usually use are right about the $400 Mark and these are right about the $400 Mark and these are right about the $400 Mark and these are a lot closer to the $200 Mark so a are a lot closer to the $200 Mark so a are a lot closer to the $200 Mark so a lot more teras for the dollars and the lot more teras for the dollars and the lot more teras for the dollars and the shipping's pretty nice we have a boxes shipping's pretty nice we have a boxes shipping's pretty nice we have a boxes in bubble wrap within a in bubble wrap within a in bubble wrap within a box there they are server part deals has box there they are server part deals has box there they are server part deals has a few different options you can get new a few different options you can get new a few different options you can get new drives from them of course but in drives from them of course but in drives from them of course but in addition they offer manufactury addition they offer manufactury addition they offer manufactury certified as well as refurbished certified as well as refurbished certified as well as refurbished products the uh recertified ones come products the uh recertified ones come products the uh recertified ones come directly from the manufacturer and then directly from the manufacturer and then directly from the manufacturer and then they sell those directly to you or the they sell those directly to you or the they sell those directly to you or the refurbished products they actually get refurbished products they actually get refurbished products they actually get they pop them open they test them they they pop them open they test them they they pop them open they test them they make sure all is well and then they sell make sure all is well and then they sell make sure all is well and then they sell them to you and to be CR Frank I don't them to you and to be CR Frank I don't them to you and to be CR Frank I don't know what I have here they just said know what I have here they just said know what I have here they just said they were sending over six drives and if they were sending over six drives and if they were sending over six drives and if we open this up you can see I have three we open this up you can see I have three we open this up you can see I have three drives here completely surrounded in drives here completely surrounded in drives here completely surrounded in foam again I'm very impressed with the foam again I'm very impressed with the foam again I'm very impressed with the packaging of these and here it is it packaging of these and here it is it packaging of these and here it is it does look like I am getting a does look like I am getting a does look like I am getting a recertified instead of a refurbished recertified instead of a refurbished recertified instead of a refurbished product it's specifically you can see product it's specifically you can see product it's specifically you can see that they are Seagate refurbished 20 that they are Seagate refurbished 20 that they are Seagate refurbished 20 tbte drives and I mean these are clean I tbte drives and I mean these are clean I tbte drives and I mean these are clean I can see a little smudging here but can see a little smudging here but can see a little smudging here but that's about it it looks like this one that's about it it looks like this one that's about it it looks like this one came out in 2020 and I think are these came out in 2020 and I think are these came out in 2020 and I think are these the oh they are these are the same the oh they are these are the same the oh they are these are the same drives that LTT purchased from them so drives that LTT purchased from them so drives that LTT purchased from them so that's cool they must have a lot of them that's cool they must have a lot of them that's cool they must have a lot of them on their website here if I go to on their website here if I go to on their website here if I go to products you can see hard drives products you can see hard drives products you can see hard drives condition uh if I go to manufactury condition uh if I go to manufactury condition uh if I go to manufactury certified the drives that I got are $230 certified the drives that I got are $230 certified the drives that I got are $230 9 each and if we look for the new 9 each and if we look for the new 9 each and if we look for the new pricing we have almost $400 so not too

pricing we have almost $400 so not too pricing we have almost $400 so not too bad not too bad just out of curiosity bad not too bad just out of curiosity bad not too bad just out of curiosity here if we go to the seller refurbished here if we go to the seller refurbished here if we go to the seller refurbished they don't have as much to choose from they don't have as much to choose from they don't have as much to choose from but you can see right here we have an 18 but you can see right here we have an 18 but you can see right here we have an 18 tab for one 84 we have a 8 tbyte for 90 tab for one 84 we have a 8 tbyte for 90 tab for one 84 we have a 8 tbyte for 90 bucks which is how much I spend on my 4 bucks which is how much I spend on my 4 bucks which is how much I spend on my 4 tbyte drives so yeah pretty good deal tbyte drives so yeah pretty good deal tbyte drives so yeah pretty good deal here but what I did I threw in all those here but what I did I threw in all those here but what I did I threw in all those 20 tbte drives into the system so if I 20 tbte drives into the system so if I 20 tbte drives into the system so if I go over here and I head over to discs go over here and I head over to discs go over here and I head over to discs you can see we have some discs 1 two 3 you can see we have some discs 1 two 3 you can see we have some discs 1 two 3 four five six of those 20 terb drives an four five six of those 20 terb drives an four five six of those 20 terb drives an absolutely ridiculous amount of storage absolutely ridiculous amount of storage absolutely ridiculous amount of storage but getting started since I threw in but getting started since I threw in but getting started since I threw in these hard drives here I do need to spin these hard drives here I do need to spin these hard drives here I do need to spin it up as a ZFS pool so what we can do I it up as a ZFS pool so what we can do I it up as a ZFS pool so what we can do I already went through and wiped the discs already went through and wiped the discs already went through and wiped the discs so we don't need to worry about that uh so we don't need to worry about that uh so we don't need to worry about that uh let's go over here to ZFS and create a let's go over here to ZFS and create a let's go over here to ZFS and create a new ZFS here naming these is probably new ZFS here naming these is probably new ZFS here naming these is probably the most difficult part of all of this the most difficult part of all of this the most difficult part of all of this I'm going to just copy the uh LT video I'm going to just copy the uh LT video I'm going to just copy the uh LT video this is ocean it is a very large pool this is ocean it is a very large pool this is ocean it is a very large pool we're going to make sure we add it to we're going to make sure we add it to we're going to make sure we add it to the storage I'm going to go through and the storage I'm going to go through and the storage I'm going to go through and select all of these I also have two uh 2 select all of these I also have two uh 2 select all of these I also have two uh 2 terab mvme drives that I'm going to be terab mvme drives that I'm going to be terab mvme drives that I'm going to be setting up as well we're going to be setting up as well we're going to be setting up as well we're going to be setting this up as a raid Z which makes setting this up as a raid Z which makes setting this up as a raid Z which makes it so I can lose one of these drives and it so I can lose one of these drives and it so I can lose one of these drives and I'm going to be fine uh if I was smart I'm going to be fine uh if I was smart I'm going to be fine uh if I was smart I'd go with raid Z2 but I'm not so I'm I'd go with raid Z2 but I'm not so I'm I'd go with raid Z2 but I'm not so I'm going to keep it as raid Z compression going to keep it as raid Z compression going to keep it as raid Z compression lz4 is usually a good bet and uh I think lz4 is usually a good bet and uh I think lz4 is usually a good bet and uh I think we're good to go let's so let's hit

we're good to go let's so let's hit we're good to go let's so let's hit create give that some time it's a lot of create give that some time it's a lot of create give that some time it's a lot of storage but it's all empty so it really storage but it's all empty so it really storage but it's all empty so it really should not take too long at all as you should not take too long at all as you should not take too long at all as you can see there is done so now we have our can see there is done so now we have our can see there is done so now we have our ocean with 120 terabytes about a 100 of ocean with 120 terabytes about a 100 of ocean with 120 terabytes about a 100 of them should be usable and if you go back them should be usable and if you go back them should be usable and if you go back to part one of this series you'll see to part one of this series you'll see to part one of this series you'll see some of the commands that I used to some of the commands that I used to some of the commands that I used to actually see the available storage Z actually see the available storage Z actually see the available storage Z poool poool poool list hit enter and that will show list hit enter and that will show list hit enter and that will show basically exactly what we see in proxmox basically exactly what we see in proxmox basically exactly what we see in proxmox but if we go ahead and type in ZFS list but if we go ahead and type in ZFS list but if we go ahead and type in ZFS list this will show us the actual available this will show us the actual available this will show us the actual available storage and kind of manage this through storage and kind of manage this through storage and kind of manage this through the terminal if you want to do note also the terminal if you want to do note also the terminal if you want to do note also I made a follow-up video I'm not going I made a follow-up video I'm not going I made a follow-up video I'm not going to add storage as directories anymore to add storage as directories anymore to add storage as directories anymore going forward because then that creates going forward because then that creates going forward because then that creates those ra files for everything including those ra files for everything including those ra files for everything including containers which I don't really want to containers which I don't really want to containers which I don't really want to do granted with a virtual machines it is do granted with a virtual machines it is do granted with a virtual machines it is still going to create those Dot raw kind still going to create those Dot raw kind still going to create those Dot raw kind of virtual drive files so now we have of virtual drive files so now we have of virtual drive files so now we have our ocean real quick here I'm just going our ocean real quick here I'm just going our ocean real quick here I'm just going to create a new uh ZFS I'm going to call to create a new uh ZFS I'm going to call to create a new uh ZFS I'm going to call this one flash which is going to kind of this one flash which is going to kind of this one flash which is going to kind of match the other one I have in my zimma match the other one I have in my zimma match the other one I have in my zimma Cube what this is going to do is it's Cube what this is going to do is it's Cube what this is going to do is it's going to make it really easy for me to going to make it really easy for me to going to make it really easy for me to migrate uh these containers and virtual migrate uh these containers and virtual migrate uh these containers and virtual machines in between the uh two machines machines in between the uh two machines machines in between the uh two machines when you do a migration of like a when you do a migration of like a when you do a migration of like a container for example it's going to want container for example it's going to want container for example it's going to want a matching kind of a storage name when a matching kind of a storage name when a matching kind of a storage name when you do that when I moved this over I you do that when I moved this over I you do that when I moved this over I didn't have that set up so I had to set didn't have that set up so I had to set didn't have that set up so I had to set up or I had to migrate the storage to up or I had to migrate the storage to up or I had to migrate the storage to local migrate it machines and then move

local migrate it machines and then move local migrate it machines and then move the storage out of local so if you have the storage out of local so if you have the storage out of local so if you have limited local storage uh that could be a limited local storage uh that could be a limited local storage uh that could be a problem so I am going to add this as the problem so I am going to add this as the problem so I am going to add this as the same name this is not a single disc I'm same name this is not a single disc I'm same name this is not a single disc I'm going to go ahead and mirror this and going to go ahead and mirror this and going to go ahead and mirror this and then select the same stuff here and then then select the same stuff here and then then select the same stuff here and then click on create so now that's going to click on create so now that's going to click on create so now that's going to run life is good you can see that create run life is good you can see that create run life is good you can see that create right there and boom we're rocking and right there and boom we're rocking and right there and boom we're rocking and rolling so now what we're going to want rolling so now what we're going to want rolling so now what we're going to want to do is head over to our proxmox backup to do is head over to our proxmox backup to do is head over to our proxmox backup server website and and then go over here server website and and then go over here server website and and then go over here to the proxmox backup server 3.3 we're to the proxmox backup server 3.3 we're to the proxmox backup server 3.3 we're going to rightclick this and copy the going to rightclick this and copy the going to rightclick this and copy the link because we don't really need to link because we don't really need to link because we don't really need to download it to our local machine because download it to our local machine because download it to our local machine because proxmox has this wonderful feature under proxmox has this wonderful feature under proxmox has this wonderful feature under our local storage ISO images we can our local storage ISO images we can our local storage ISO images we can download from a URL go ahead and drop download from a URL go ahead and drop download from a URL go ahead and drop that on in and query our URL and once it that on in and query our URL and once it that on in and query our URL and once it figures out exactly what it's figures out exactly what it's figures out exactly what it's downloading we can click on download so downloading we can click on download so downloading we can click on download so now this is going to download and upload now this is going to download and upload now this is going to download and upload directly into our proxmox server so give directly into our proxmox server so give directly into our proxmox server so give it just a little bit to do that and it just a little bit to do that and it just a little bit to do that and there we go the task is okay so if we there we go the task is okay so if we there we go the task is okay so if we close this out we can now see our close this out we can now see our close this out we can now see our proxmox backup server ISO there and from proxmox backup server ISO there and from proxmox backup server ISO there and from there under Nas sync or whatever machine there under Nas sync or whatever machine there under Nas sync or whatever machine that you want to install this on uh that you want to install this on uh that you want to install this on uh we're going to go ahead and create a new we're going to go ahead and create a new we're going to go ahead and create a new virtual machine here node is going to be virtual machine here node is going to be virtual machine here node is going to be on NAD sync this one I'm going to give on NAD sync this one I'm going to give on NAD sync this one I'm going to give it the ID of let's do 251 cuz I kind of it the ID of let's do 251 cuz I kind of it the ID of let's do 251 cuz I kind of keep all my um virtual machines here in keep all my um virtual machines here in keep all my um virtual machines here in the 200s so this is going to be um I'm the 200s so this is going to be um I'm the 200s so this is going to be um I'm just going to call this backup get real just going to call this backup get real just going to call this backup get real creative here and then from there let's creative here and then from there let's creative here and then from there let's go next and for the storage I'm going to

go next and for the storage I'm going to go next and for the storage I'm going to select the iso image that we just select the iso image that we just select the iso image that we just downloaded to the proxmox server here downloaded to the proxmox server here downloaded to the proxmox server here all this looks good so we can go next all this looks good so we can go next all this looks good so we can go next shouldn't need to do anything here and shouldn't need to do anything here and shouldn't need to do anything here and next under diss this is where we're next under diss this is where we're next under diss this is where we're going to do some changes now for storage going to do some changes now for storage going to do some changes now for storage flash is going to be perfect this is flash is going to be perfect this is flash is going to be perfect this is just where the actual operating system just where the actual operating system just where the actual operating system is going to be installed just for a is going to be installed just for a is going to be installed just for a little wiggle room let's give it some little wiggle room let's give it some little wiggle room let's give it some extra space space and let's add another extra space space and let's add another extra space space and let's add another disc this is where everything as of now disc this is where everything as of now disc this is where everything as of now is going to be backed up if you know of is going to be backed up if you know of is going to be backed up if you know of a better way to do this etc etc please a better way to do this etc etc please a better way to do this etc etc please let me know down in the comments or let me know down in the comments or let me know down in the comments or anybody who may be watching this video anybody who may be watching this video anybody who may be watching this video so here it's going to need a lot of room so here it's going to need a lot of room so here it's going to need a lot of room I'm going to switch this over to our I'm going to switch this over to our I'm going to switch this over to our ocean to uh back up everything now here ocean to uh back up everything now here ocean to uh back up everything now here I don't need too much well let's see I don't need too much well let's see I don't need too much well let's see math probably half of it let's do 50 math probably half of it let's do 50 math probably half of it let's do 50 ,000 GB so 50 terab because that machine ,000 GB so 50 terab because that machine ,000 GB so 50 terab because that machine holds like 20 terabytes and if I want to holds like 20 terabytes and if I want to holds like 20 terabytes and if I want to add any other machines so on so forth add any other machines so on so forth add any other machines so on so forth that should be enough and I could always that should be enough and I could always that should be enough and I could always change that later now format raw dis change that later now format raw dis change that later now format raw dis it's a virtual machine so I can't really it's a virtual machine so I can't really it's a virtual machine so I can't really change that so let's go next uh CPU it's change that so let's go next uh CPU it's change that so let's go next uh CPU it's not going to need too much I'm still not going to need too much I'm still not going to need too much I'm still going to give it four cores though just going to give it four cores though just going to give it four cores though just for giggles and then memory this should for giggles and then memory this should for giggles and then memory this should be fine but I like to give things a be fine but I like to give things a be fine but I like to give things a little more than they actually need so little more than they actually need so little more than they actually need so let's give it 4 gigs of RAM and let's let's give it 4 gigs of RAM and let's let's give it 4 gigs of RAM and let's keep all that the same and looks like we keep all that the same and looks like we keep all that the same and looks like we are good to go so let's start it after are good to go so let's start it after are good to go so let's start it after created and then click on finish and created and then click on finish and created and then click on finish and then once that boots up we should be

then once that boots up we should be then once that boots up we should be able to dive into the actual able to dive into the actual able to dive into the actual installation of proxmox backup server installation of proxmox backup server installation of proxmox backup server which you can see here booted up which you can see here booted up which you can see here booted up impressively quick so let's go into the impressively quick so let's go into the impressively quick so let's go into the graphical setup and if you've ever graphical setup and if you've ever graphical setup and if you've ever installed proxmox this is going to look installed proxmox this is going to look installed proxmox this is going to look incredibly familiar so I'm just going to incredibly familiar so I'm just going to incredibly familiar so I'm just going to agree to that select the dis that I want agree to that select the dis that I want agree to that select the dis that I want the operating system to be installed on the operating system to be installed on the operating system to be installed on which is this one right here the smaller which is this one right here the smaller which is this one right here the smaller one let's go next United States just go one let's go next United States just go one let's go next United States just go ahead and select all the appropriate ahead and select all the appropriate ahead and select all the appropriate stuff for you so Los Angeles us next stuff for you so Los Angeles us next stuff for you so Los Angeles us next give it a pretty decent password as well give it a pretty decent password as well give it a pretty decent password as well as a valid email and then from there as a valid email and then from there as a valid email and then from there we're going to set up some of our we're going to set up some of our we're going to set up some of our Network stuff here so we have our host Network stuff here so we have our host Network stuff here so we have our host name uh uh proxar backup server. land I name uh uh proxar backup server. land I name uh uh proxar backup server. land I am going to change this just to backup. am going to change this just to backup. am going to change this just to backup. loc so it matches the uh post name that loc so it matches the uh post name that loc so it matches the uh post name that I gave it over here and I am actually I gave it over here and I am actually I gave it over here and I am actually going to change the static IP to 251 going to change the static IP to 251 going to change the static IP to 251 that's another thing I'm starting to do that's another thing I'm starting to do that's another thing I'm starting to do I have all these uh IDs matching with I have all these uh IDs matching with I have all these uh IDs matching with their IP addresses just an their IP addresses just an their IP addresses just an organizational thing and I'm going to organizational thing and I'm going to organizational thing and I'm going to change the DNS server to the same as the change the DNS server to the same as the change the DNS server to the same as the Gateway it automatically loaded our py Gateway it automatically loaded our py Gateway it automatically loaded our py hole instance which is cool and all but hole instance which is cool and all but hole instance which is cool and all but I'm going to go with it like this and I'm going to go with it like this and I'm going to go with it like this and here we are so I'm going to click here we are so I'm going to click here we are so I'm going to click install and we should be good to go so install and we should be good to go so install and we should be good to go so there we go we have our IP address there there we go we have our IP address there there we go we have our IP address there there it's basically impossible to see there it's basically impossible to see there it's basically impossible to see but but it is ending in 8006 one port but but it is ending in 8006 one port but but it is ending in 8006 one port away from the proxmox port so I'm going away from the proxmox port so I'm going away from the proxmox port so I'm going to go over here and actually navigate to to go over here and actually navigate to to go over here and actually navigate to that 251 that 251 that 251 8007 and let's go ahead and skip this

8007 and let's go ahead and skip this 8007 and let's go ahead and skip this visit the website and here we are into visit the website and here we are into visit the website and here we are into proxmox backup server username and proxmox backup server username and proxmox backup server username and password and log on in so this is what password and log on in so this is what password and log on in so this is what proxmox backup server looks like let's proxmox backup server looks like let's proxmox backup server looks like let's make this a little bit bigger so you can make this a little bit bigger so you can make this a little bit bigger so you can see what's going on here later I'm going see what's going on here later I'm going see what's going on here later I'm going to add this into my engine X to add this into my engine X to add this into my engine X configuration so it's just going to be configuration so it's just going to be configuration so it's just going to be back up at my local domain but we're not back up at my local domain but we're not back up at my local domain but we're not going to do that right now but one thing going to do that right now but one thing going to do that right now but one thing we can do is head over here to the we can do is head over here to the we can do is head over here to the proxmox community scripts view scripts proxmox community scripts view scripts proxmox community scripts view scripts whenever you install proxmox they have a whenever you install proxmox they have a whenever you install proxmox they have a lot of Cool Tools here so we have the lot of Cool Tools here so we have the lot of Cool Tools here so we have the proxmox backup server post install proxmox backup server post install proxmox backup server post install update repositories uh ve post install update repositories uh ve post install update repositories uh ve post install which I recommend you run this will do a which I recommend you run this will do a which I recommend you run this will do a few things you can see right here few things you can see right here few things you can see right here correct sources gets rid of that correct sources gets rid of that correct sources gets rid of that non-subscription message if you use non-subscription message if you use non-subscription message if you use proxmox a lot it's a good thing to proxmox a lot it's a good thing to proxmox a lot it's a good thing to subscribe to to support the project at subscribe to to support the project at subscribe to to support the project at the test repo up the server a bunch of the test repo up the server a bunch of the test repo up the server a bunch of different things so I'm going to copy different things so I'm going to copy different things so I'm going to copy this head back over to our backup server this head back over to our backup server this head back over to our backup server dive into the shell and just paste in dive into the shell and just paste in dive into the shell and just paste in that command run it and we are going to that command run it and we are going to that command run it and we are going to run this post install script we're going run this post install script we're going run this post install script we're going to allow it to change our sources dis to allow it to change our sources dis to allow it to change our sources dis aable the Enterprise repository um aable the Enterprise repository um aable the Enterprise repository um enable the no subscription repo for now enable the no subscription repo for now enable the no subscription repo for now I'm going to get rid I'm not going to I'm going to get rid I'm not going to I'm going to get rid I'm not going to add the test repo I don't really want to add the test repo I don't really want to add the test repo I don't really want to do that let's get rid of the do that let's get rid of the do that let's get rid of the subscription neag this is the thing subscription neag this is the thing subscription neag this is the thing where it says you should go ahead and where it says you should go ahead and where it says you should go ahead and support the software if you uh c fit and support the software if you uh c fit and support the software if you uh c fit and we're going to update the server now and we're going to update the server now and we're going to update the server now and just let this run it's going to set up just let this run it's going to set up just let this run it's going to set up everything for us and then when it is everything for us and then when it is everything for us and then when it is done we're going to reboot This Server done we're going to reboot This Server done we're going to reboot This Server and this is what I was talking about and this is what I was talking about and this is what I was talking about here so yes we are going to go ahead and

here so yes we are going to go ahead and here so yes we are going to go ahead and reboot This Server we head back over to reboot This Server we head back over to reboot This Server we head back over to our uh zimac Cube or our main proxmox our uh zimac Cube or our main proxmox our uh zimac Cube or our main proxmox instance we can see the reboot is instance we can see the reboot is instance we can see the reboot is complete so let's just refresh this page complete so let's just refresh this page complete so let's just refresh this page and now since we're all updated we ran and now since we're all updated we ran and now since we're all updated we ran the script we can set up our actual the script we can set up our actual the script we can set up our actual storage here so if we go to storage and storage here so if we go to storage and storage here so if we go to storage and diss we can see that large um 53 terab diss we can see that large um 53 terab diss we can see that large um 53 terab of uh storage right here if you're doing of uh storage right here if you're doing of uh storage right here if you're doing this on like bare metal you'll have this on like bare metal you'll have this on like bare metal you'll have multiple discs here you'd want to go multiple discs here you'd want to go multiple discs here you'd want to go through and actually wipe these discs I through and actually wipe these discs I through and actually wipe these discs I don't need to do that cuz it's a fresh don't need to do that cuz it's a fresh don't need to do that cuz it's a fresh disc we just created and actually being disc we just created and actually being disc we just created and actually being able to use this you're either going to able to use this you're either going to able to use this you're either going to want to create a directory or a ZFS here want to create a directory or a ZFS here want to create a directory or a ZFS here if you have multiple discs you'd want to if you have multiple discs you'd want to if you have multiple discs you'd want to create a ZFS you can create a directory create a ZFS you can create a directory create a ZFS you can create a directory if you want to but even with this single if you want to but even with this single if you want to but even with this single disc I'm going to use ZFS because then disc I'm going to use ZFS because then disc I'm going to use ZFS because then it supports compression and all that it supports compression and all that it supports compression and all that within this even though the actual like within this even though the actual like within this even though the actual like raw uh virtual hard drive is already raw uh virtual hard drive is already raw uh virtual hard drive is already within ZFS I'm I'm just going to do it within ZFS I'm I'm just going to do it within ZFS I'm I'm just going to do it this way uh this again I'm just going to this way uh this again I'm just going to this way uh this again I'm just going to call this backup this is a single dis call this backup this is a single dis call this backup this is a single dis compression I'm going to go lz4 select compression I'm going to go lz4 select compression I'm going to go lz4 select the single dis and then click on create the single dis and then click on create the single dis and then click on create going to give that a minute to run and going to give that a minute to run and going to give that a minute to run and do what it needs to do and there we go do what it needs to do and there we go do what it needs to do and there we go so now here we should be able to connect so now here we should be able to connect so now here we should be able to connect this instance to our kind of main this instance to our kind of main this instance to our kind of main proxmox over here so I'm just going to proxmox over here so I'm just going to proxmox over here so I'm just going to go under Data Center and under storage go under Data Center and under storage go under Data Center and under storage here we are going to add the proxmox here we are going to add the proxmox here we are going to add the proxmox backup server so here give it an ID um backup server so here give it an ID um backup server so here give it an ID um I'm going to go proxmox backup server

I'm going to go proxmox backup server I'm going to go proxmox backup server PBS the actual server is PBS the actual server is PBS the actual server is located right here and then our username located right here and then our username located right here and then our username is going to be root at I think it's is going to be root at I think it's is going to be root at I think it's Pam and put in our password I'm going to Pam and put in our password I'm going to Pam and put in our password I'm going to have it on all nodes I'm going to enable have it on all nodes I'm going to enable have it on all nodes I'm going to enable it the data store uh I just think it's it the data store uh I just think it's it the data store uh I just think it's backup that's what I put uh go back to backup that's what I put uh go back to backup that's what I put uh go back to your backup server here and under your backup server here and under your backup server here and under dashboard we're going to want to click dashboard we're going to want to click dashboard we're going to want to click on show fingerprint give this a copy on show fingerprint give this a copy on show fingerprint give this a copy forgot to do that and paste it right forgot to do that and paste it right forgot to do that and paste it right here under fingerprint Boop this just is here under fingerprint Boop this just is here under fingerprint Boop this just is kind of the key to allow the to kind of the key to allow the to kind of the key to allow the to communicate uh to add and there we go we communicate uh to add and there we go we communicate uh to add and there we go we have PBS right there proxmox backup have PBS right there proxmox backup have PBS right there proxmox backup server and we should see it connect very server and we should see it connect very server and we should see it connect very soon right there there we go beautiful soon right there there we go beautiful soon right there there we go beautiful so now that that's all set up and so now that that's all set up and so now that that's all set up and connected I should be able to actually connected I should be able to actually connected I should be able to actually create our backup task here so if I go create our backup task here so if I go create our backup task here so if I go over here to backup click on ADD here over here to backup click on ADD here over here to backup click on ADD here for node we are going to select the for node we are going to select the for node we are going to select the let's start with zimic Cube just by let's start with zimic Cube just by let's start with zimic Cube just by itself cuz I don't want to like I don't itself cuz I don't want to like I don't itself cuz I don't want to like I don't know if this is even how it would work know if this is even how it would work know if this is even how it would work but I don't want prox mox's backup but I don't want prox mox's backup but I don't want prox mox's backup server to try to back itself up within server to try to back itself up within server to try to back itself up within its storage we're going to select its storage we're going to select its storage we're going to select proxmox backup server here schedule I am proxmox backup server here schedule I am proxmox backup server here schedule I am going to have this going to have this going to have this um every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. sounds nice um every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. sounds nice um every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. sounds nice that's a good time here for the that's a good time here for the that's a good time here for the selection mode you can include all selection mode you can include all selection mode you can include all include selected VMS exclude or pool include selected VMS exclude or pool include selected VMS exclude or pool based I am going to do include selected based I am going to do include selected based I am going to do include selected so as I create them I could choose

so as I create them I could choose so as I create them I could choose whether or not if I want to add those to whether or not if I want to add those to whether or not if I want to add those to our backups and actually for now I'm our backups and actually for now I'm our backups and actually for now I'm going to deselect Windows 10 because I'm going to deselect Windows 10 because I'm going to deselect Windows 10 because I'm going to be moving that over in a minute going to be moving that over in a minute going to be moving that over in a minute and then over here we have notification and then over here we have notification and then over here we have notification option so you could set that up if you'd option so you could set that up if you'd option so you could set that up if you'd like to for mode here I am going to want like to for mode here I am going to want like to for mode here I am going to want to do snapshots if we go up here we have to do snapshots if we go up here we have to do snapshots if we go up here we have some more stuff so like retention you some more stuff so like retention you some more stuff so like retention you could set like keep hourly weekly all could set like keep hourly weekly all could set like keep hourly weekly all those settings I'm going to go through those settings I'm going to go through those settings I'm going to go through and learn how to use that properly and learn how to use that properly and learn how to use that properly probably set it to like two weeks or so probably set it to like two weeks or so probably set it to like two weeks or so we have a note templates and some things we have a note templates and some things we have a note templates and some things under Advanced that you could go through under Advanced that you could go through under Advanced that you could go through and edit and play around with if you'd and edit and play around with if you'd and edit and play around with if you'd like to but I'm just going to go ahead like to but I'm just going to go ahead like to but I'm just going to go ahead and click on create so now we can see and click on create so now we can see and click on create so now we can see the backup is now enabled every day or the backup is now enabled every day or the backup is now enabled every day or not every day every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. not every day every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. not every day every Sunday at 1:00 a.m. and we're good to go if I click on this and we're good to go if I click on this and we're good to go if I click on this here I can click on run now and I'm here I can click on run now and I'm here I can click on run now and I'm going to run the job and it should start going to run the job and it should start going to run the job and it should start backing up just about everything but you backing up just about everything but you backing up just about everything but you can see there little save icon it's uh can see there little save icon it's uh can see there little save icon it's uh config locked it's currently backing config locked it's currently backing config locked it's currently backing that up and it's going to go through that up and it's going to go through that up and it's going to go through everything all right it's a couple days everything all right it's a couple days everything all right it's a couple days later apparently backing up about 12 later apparently backing up about 12 later apparently backing up about 12 terabytes of data over a GB Network terabytes of data over a GB Network terabytes of data over a GB Network takes a long time so real quick I'm takes a long time so real quick I'm takes a long time so real quick I'm going to show you what I did first uh going to show you what I did first uh going to show you what I did first uh back to the retention thing it's much back to the retention thing it's much back to the retention thing it's much simpler it's keep last how many backups simpler it's keep last how many backups simpler it's keep last how many backups so if I'm doing this weekly I keep the so if I'm doing this weekly I keep the so if I'm doing this weekly I keep the last four snapshots or whatever it's is last four snapshots or whatever it's is last four snapshots or whatever it's is going to have a month worth of going to have a month worth of going to have a month worth of recoverable stuff and you can play with recoverable stuff and you can play with recoverable stuff and you can play with that and edit that as you see fit now that and edit that as you see fit now that and edit that as you see fit now when I initially ran through and did the when I initially ran through and did the when I initially ran through and did the backups it did everything a little too backups it did everything a little too backups it did everything a little too quick and that's because it didn't back quick and that's because it didn't back quick and that's because it didn't back up absolutely everything for example

up absolutely everything for example up absolutely everything for example Vault here owns two discs one is that Vault here owns two discs one is that Vault here owns two discs one is that Docker and one is the data which has a Docker and one is the data which has a Docker and one is the data which has a whole bunch of stuff on it what I forgot whole bunch of stuff on it what I forgot whole bunch of stuff on it what I forgot to do initially is we're going to want to do initially is we're going to want to do initially is we're going to want to click on this go to edit and then to click on this go to edit and then to click on this go to edit and then check backup and now when you go ahead check backup and now when you go ahead check backup and now when you go ahead and back this up it's actually going to and back this up it's actually going to and back this up it's actually going to back up that entire directory to proc back up that entire directory to proc back up that entire directory to proc Mock's backup server initially it didn't Mock's backup server initially it didn't Mock's backup server initially it didn't do that it had the directory but it was do that it had the directory but it was do that it had the directory but it was just blank and you could kind of see just blank and you could kind of see just blank and you could kind of see that real quick if I go right here to that real quick if I go right here to that real quick if I go right here to backup and then I switch this to uh PBS backup and then I switch this to uh PBS backup and then I switch this to uh PBS you could see the backups that I ran in you could see the backups that I ran in you could see the backups that I ran in the size see the first one was only 1.6 the size see the first one was only 1.6 the size see the first one was only 1.6 GB and then this one is 17 terabyt if I GB and then this one is 17 terabyt if I GB and then this one is 17 terabyt if I click on this and then go to like file click on this and then go to like file click on this and then go to like file Restore for example we can actually see Restore for example we can actually see Restore for example we can actually see the whole directory of this system and the whole directory of this system and the whole directory of this system and then right here under data we can then right here under data we can then right here under data we can actually see everything that is on here actually see everything that is on here actually see everything that is on here but if I go to like this first one for but if I go to like this first one for but if I go to like this first one for example go file restore data here example go file restore data here example go file restore data here doesn't have anything in it so you want doesn't have anything in it so you want doesn't have anything in it so you want to go through and actually check the to go through and actually check the to go through and actually check the extra Mount points that you want backed extra Mount points that you want backed extra Mount points that you want backed up specifically and for example I have up specifically and for example I have up specifically and for example I have these same Mount points backed up into these same Mount points backed up into these same Mount points backed up into serar but to avoid unnecessary serar but to avoid unnecessary serar but to avoid unnecessary duplication if I go over here you could duplication if I go over here you could duplication if I go over here you could see I do not have backups selected on see I do not have backups selected on see I do not have backups selected on these ones because they're the same these ones because they're the same these ones because they're the same thing and I can just restore it for from thing and I can just restore it for from thing and I can just restore it for from 100 if need be so that is proxmox backup 100 if need be so that is proxmox backup 100 if need be so that is proxmox backup server if I go over here under data server if I go over here under data server if I go over here under data store you can see I'm using uh 25% of store you can see I'm using uh 25% of store you can see I'm using uh 25% of the 53 is terabytes that I set up and the 53 is terabytes that I set up and the 53 is terabytes that I set up and you can see the day I backed it all up you can see the day I backed it all up you can see the day I backed it all up took about let's see when I started late

took about let's see when I started late took about let's see when I started late on the 20th all the way to the 22nd and on the 20th all the way to the 22nd and on the 20th all the way to the 22nd and of course this is just kind of a base of course this is just kind of a base of course this is just kind of a base level video I got everything set up and level video I got everything set up and level video I got everything set up and working to the point where if something working to the point where if something working to the point where if something catastrophic happens on one of my catastrophic happens on one of my catastrophic happens on one of my machines I should be okay when it comes machines I should be okay when it comes machines I should be okay when it comes to data or if I accidentally delete a to data or if I accidentally delete a to data or if I accidentally delete a container I can restore it life is good container I can restore it life is good container I can restore it life is good proxmox backup server does a whole lot proxmox backup server does a whole lot proxmox backup server does a whole lot more that I haven't dived into including more that I haven't dived into including more that I haven't dived into including being able to backup things from other being able to backup things from other being able to backup things from other systems you can set up remote file systems you can set up remote file systems you can set up remote file system backups bunch of cool stuff and system backups bunch of cool stuff and system backups bunch of cool stuff and as I learn and experiment with it I may as I learn and experiment with it I may as I learn and experiment with it I may bring more content to you so with that bring more content to you so with that bring more content to you so with that do make sure you subscribe down below do make sure you subscribe down below do make sure you subscribe down below I'm going to link to a playlist this is I'm going to link to a playlist this is I'm going to link to a playlist this is now going to be the fourth video in the now going to be the fourth video in the now going to be the fourth video in the playlist of my uh proxmox full server playlist of my uh proxmox full server playlist of my uh proxmox full server guide walkthrough I do recommend you guide walkthrough I do recommend you guide walkthrough I do recommend you check out some of the other ones and check out some of the other ones and check out some of the other ones and with all that again big thank you to with all that again big thank you to with all that again big thank you to serverpartdeals.com for sending over serverpartdeals.com for sending over serverpartdeals.com for sending over these drives if you want to save some these drives if you want to save some these drives if you want to save some money on some drives uh go ahead and try money on some drives uh go ahead and try money on some drives uh go ahead and try them out they do have a warranty so if them out they do have a warranty so if them out they do have a warranty so if you get a bad disc from the get-go they you get a bad disc from the get-go they you get a bad disc from the get-go they will go ahead and replace that for you will go ahead and replace that for you will go ahead and replace that for you I'll leave a link down below to their I'll leave a link down below to their I'll leave a link down below to their full refund policy as well as a link uh full refund policy as well as a link uh full refund policy as well as a link uh affiliate link so if you go ahead and affiliate link so if you go ahead and affiliate link so if you go ahead and use that you'll get $5 taken off your use that you'll get $5 taken off your use that you'll get $5 taken off your order and with all that hope you have an order and with all that hope you have an order and with all that hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and goodbye
