The Proxmox Backup Server (PBS), on the other hand, is an open source solution that is primarily optimized for Proxmox VE environments. Veeam offers significantly more platform support, centralized management and advanced enterprise features such as disaster recovery orchestration and ransomware protection through immutable backups.
The Proxmox Backup Server is well suited as a complementary solution for pure Proxmox environments. For mixed or enterprise infrastructures, Veeam is the more suitable choice. Thomas-Krenn supports both solutions and can advise you on your decision.
