In this video we take a look at an old server of mine which has been sitting untouched for over 3.5 years. As you can imagine, it was in quite a dire state so in this video, we clean it up, install a few upgrades and then install a clean copy of Proxmox VE to set this machine up as my new offsite backup server!
