YouTube uses object storage to store and manage its vast library of videos efficiently. Object storage assigns each video a unique identifier and metadata, enabling fast retrieval and scalability across global storage pools.

Source: Oneuptime In the occasion that one of your Proxmox ZFS pools becomes degraded then this is one of the ways to restore your pool. Such a pool could be an OS, VM or a storage pool. Now, once you receive a proxmox notification (Don't forget to setup Proxm...

The consensus among ZFS experts depends on your constraints: If you have spare bays and older drives: Many recommend starting replacement earlier (around 65% full) with one drive at a time, turning the old drive into a spare. practicalzfs.com This keeps your...

The first backup strategy we will execute is the simplest but also the most vulnerable one. This means you store your backup on the same hard drives you also run your production system on. This is highly discouraged but for completeness we will still discuss i...

In this strategy we will use different storage drives for our backups. We assume a Proxmox environment from which you want to backup the virtual machines. What we will do is Create a Proxmox PBS VM on our main PVE machine Pass through the drives to the PBS V...

Here we will setup PBS on top of Truenas Scale as a container. Why would you do this ? well if you run both proxmox pve and run a Truenas VM or bare metal then you have two different systems to backup. You want to backup your VM's and you want to back up your ...

This setup is the most robust setup but is also the most expensive setup and often not necessary for a home lab. This setup basically has Dedicated PVE instance Truenas Scale installed on the PVE instance as a VM with passed through drives Dedicated Truenas S...

1. After installing Proxmox backup server we need to configure it to our needs. As with Proxmox we will also start with the post install script but then for Proxmox Backup Server. The command is according to proxmox helper scripts  is bash -c "$(curl -fsSL htt...

Now that you have setup the datastore on your PBS host you can start connecting it to your PVE system.  On the PBS you click on your datastore > Show connection information and keep the tab open s.t you can copy paste it to your PVE you want to backup. Then o...

Hosting Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) as a VM on a secondary PVE host rather than on your production cluster offers significant practical and operational advantages. Resource Efficiency and Flexibility Instead of purchasing dedicated bare-metal PBS servers, run...

The installation of PBS as a VM on a secondary PVE is quite straightforward and basically exactly the same as installing it on the production VM. You can of course again decide to have your OS on two or one SSD. I would recommend two again since if one fails t...

Note! Running another Truenas on bare metal also allows you to run proxmox pbs as a container! If you have just as me one production device and a small backup server with like 4cpus and 16gb of ram then this would be great solution for you. Otherwise you need ...

Source: PBS on Truenas by Lawrence Systems Alright! So you have chosen to install PBS on top of a TrueNas Scale bare metal instance. Well we don't need to go through installing TrueNas scale since you have already don that here Installing TrueNas Scale. Okey s...
