Offsite backup for Proxmox that holds when it matters.

The 3-2-1 rule requires genuine offsite separation. Not a second local disk. Not the same ISP. A hosted PBS target 500km from your infrastructure.

Geographic separation

Your backup target is in a German datacenter physically separate from your infrastructure. Ransomware, power failure, or fire at your site cannot touch it.

Write-only sync credentials

Configure sync credentials with write-only access to your offsite datastore. Your local PBS can push backups but cannot delete them. Even a fully compromised local environment can't erase your offsite copies.

Recover without rebuilding

When local infrastructure is gone, restores come directly from your offsite PBS datastore using the standard Proxmox Backup Client. No new tools, no unfamiliar recovery flows under pressure.

Three steps to a complete 3-2-1 setup

1
Create your offsite datastore

Register at remote-backups.com and provision a PBS datastore. 100GB free to start, scales to 20TB as your estate grows.

2
Configure write-only sync credentials

Create a credential with Datastore.Write permission only. Your local PBS can push — but can't delete offsite backups.

3
Test a restore before you need it

Restore a snapshot from your offsite target to verify it works. Know your recovery path before a disaster forces your hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Proxmox offsite backup

A second local backup in the same building is vulnerable to the same physical events: fire, flood, power failure, and ransomware spreading through your local network. A hosted PBS target in a separate datacenter is isolated by geography and network. It satisfies the '1 offsite copy' requirement of the 3-2-1 rule.

Not if you use write-only sync credentials. Create a datastore user with Datastore.Write permission only — no delete capability. Your local PBS can push new backups but cannot delete existing snapshots on the offsite datastore. A compromised local server cannot reach your offsite copies.

A 1TB initial seed over a 100 Mbit/s upload link takes roughly 22 hours. After the seed, incremental syncs transfer only changed chunks — typically a few minutes per day for stable environments. We don't charge for bandwidth, only storage.

The sync job resumes from where it left off on the next scheduled run. PBS sync is idempotent — no partial or corrupted snapshots land on the offsite datastore. Only completed snapshot transfers are committed.

Yes. You can add the hosted PBS as a storage target directly in Proxmox VE, without an intermediate PBS. Restores run via the standard Proxmox Backup Client protocol. For bare-metal recovery, use the proxmox-backup-client CLI from any Linux host.
