apalrds adventures | Backup Proxmox VE to the CLOUD! Backup Hook Scripts to push backups to S3-compliant cloud storage @apalrdsadventures | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
Proxmox has a pretty good backup scheduler, but it relies on the backup destination being mounted as a storage location. This implies that the backup destination needs to be a protocol that Proxmox supports - SMB (CIFS), NFS, … or Proxmox Backup Server. If you want to push your backups to a cloud service, you probably need something a bit more complicated. Thankfully, Proxmox’s backup scheduler thought about this and has a hook feature we can use for this purpose, and we can use any protocol supported on the Debian base system, including things such as FUSE or s3cmd.
In this project, I integrate S3-compliant cloud object storage with the Proxmox backup scheduler, copying resulting backups to a cloud storage service directly from the Proxmox system. The S3 protocol is ubiquitous among cloud object storage providers, so we aren’t tied to AWS - we can use any service such as Backblaze. In my case, I’m demonstrating this with Linode.
YES, I deleted the access key after using it in this video. I didn't want to deal with blurring it.
