6 | `Virtual machine`_ |

| 4f3db187 AL |
8 | A virtual machine is a program that can execute an entire |
| 9 | operating system inside an emulated hardware environment. | |

| 11 | `Container`_ | |
| 12 | ||
| 4f3db187 AL |
13 | A container is an isolated user space. Programs run directly on |
| 14 | the host's kernel, but with limited access to the host resources. | |

16 | Datastore |
| 17 | ||
| 4f3db187 | 18 | A place to store backups. A directory which contains the backup data. |
| 0c1c492d | 19 | The current implementation is file-system based. |

21 | `Rust`_ |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Rust is a new, fast and memory-efficient system programming | |
| 4f3db187 | 24 | language. It has no runtime or garbage collector. Rust’s rich type |
| 3147e56a DM |
25 | system and ownership model guarantee memory-safety and |
| 26 | thread-safety. I can eliminate many classes of bugs | |
| 27 | at compile-time. | |

| 17577478 | 29 | `Sphinx`_ |
| d823802e | 30 | |
| 17577478 DM |
31 | Is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and |
| 32 | beautiful documentation. It was originally created for the | |
| 4f3db187 | 33 | documentation of the Python programming language. It has excellent facilities for the |
| 17577478 DM |
34 | documentation of software projects in a range of languages. |

36 | `reStructuredText`_ |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext | |
| 39 | markup syntax and parser system. | |

| f40cf852 | 41 | `FUSE` |
| c7971d7f | 42 | |
| f40cf852 | 43 | Filesystem in Userspace (`FUSE <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace>`_) |
| 4f3db187 | 44 | defines an interface which makes it possible to implement a filesystem in |
| f40cf852 | 45 | userspace as opposed to implementing it in the kernel. The fuse |
| 4f3db187 AL |
46 | kernel driver handles filesystem requests and sends them to a |
| 47 | userspace application. | |

49 | Remote |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | A remote Proxmox Backup Server installation and credentials for a user on it. | |
| 52 | You can pull datastores from a remote to a local datastore in order to | |
| 53 | have redundant backups. |
