• An Internet connection is required to add the host in VM Backup
   
• Take backups of Proxmox VE VMs to onsite and offsite locations, such as Offsite Backup Server and cloud locations, like Azure, Amazon S3, Backblaze and Wasabi
   
• Take backups of Proxmox VE VMs irrespective of the storage type
   
• Backup data will be deduplicated using Hornetsecurity's augmented inline deduplication technology
   
• Restore Proxmox VE VMs back to a Proxmox VE environment, via Full VM Restore
   
• No new backup set required if you were running Proxmox VE on the Early Access builds

Supported Versions

• 8.4
• 9.0

Known Issues & Limitations

• Replication and CDP will be available later on

• When adding more than 1 Proxmox host to the same console, ensure that the hosts do not have the same hostname
