  1. 2:17 – Oh. Well I guess I'll stop watching here then. I only have 2 VMs, vs about 20 containers. And neither of those need that level of backing up anyway (and one of them has just 2 files we need to backup at all)

  2. Thanks for the video. You did a great job in a short amount of time comparing the 2 softwares. As more companies consider moving away from ESXi and Veeam, it's great to have alternatives, as you said. Veeam can do so much it sometimes feels slow and ponderous. One problem we continue to have is with backing up Red Hat 8.8 and 8.9 on standalone systems using Veeam We cannot seem to get a reliable backup system setup. We've had trouble loading the agents and all kinds of problems. Would love some suggestions on that.

  3. Thank you for the video! Didn't know about Veeam's existence before. I may be the only one but based on what you show here, I can tell the Veeam's User Interface looks really confusing compared to PBS one. At the same time the icons and overall interface makes it look like an app for kids…
    With all the missing features (like containers and encryption), I would never use that over PBS.

  4. Veeam makes sense if you're using vmware and looking to transition to proxmox or run them side by side. Veeam has more moving parts compared to PBS. Another important thing is how to handle big datasets. With PBS you can have one big server with ZFS metadata and special VDEVS on NVME flash which is a must when running garbage collection and pruning jobs. At the end of the day its apples and oranges but if only for proxmox backups PBS is hard to beat.

    Kudos for doing a hands on comparison instead of just reading marketing bullet points. Keep up the good work!

  5. Both, I guess. I think backing up your linux vms and containers with PBS is fine. For Windows-vms I'd use Veeam. In my testing I had a problem restoring a windows vm. The restore went through but the vm could'nt boot (according to diskpart it didn't find the hard drive). I opened a case with Veeam, currently they are investigating. Have you tried restoring a windows vm and did it work? Didn't try linux vm yet.
