Use Proxmox VE built-in ZFS incremental replication for short RPO failover between nodes, paired with Proxmox Backup Server for long retention and disaster recovery.
Learn how to combine full and incremental Proxmox VE backups with vzdump, set a retention policy, and verify the backup chain to balance storage efficiency with restore reliability.
Learn how to optimize Proxmox LXC backups using vzdump. We cover snapshot modes, zstd compression trade-offs, and the critical limitation regarding bind mounts.
Proxmox VE HA uses Pacemaker to move VMs automatically when a node fails. This guide walks through cluster prerequisites, fencing, a live failover test, and the trade‑offs you need to consider before enabling HA.
Fix the 'Guest Agent not running' error in Proxmox VE by aligning VM hardware options with guest OS drivers. Learn how to diagnose and resolve communication gaps for Linux and Windows guests.
A Proxmox VE HA cluster needs more than shared storage: it requires corosync quorum, watchdog fencing, and separated network planes. This architecture note covers the smallest viable design, trust boundaries, operational checks, and when to reconsider the approach.
