4 | `Proxmox Backup`_ is split into a server and client part. The server part |
5 | can either be installed with a graphical installer or on top of | |
6 | Debian_ from the provided package repository. | |

10 | Server installation |
11 | ------------------- | |
12 | ||
4f3db187 AL |
13 | The backup server stores the actual backed up data and provides a web based GUI |
14 | for various management tasks such as disk management. | |
58ea88c8 DM |
15 | |
16 | .. note:: You always need a backup server. It is not possible to use | |
17 | `Proxmox Backup`_ without the server part. | |
18 | ||
4f3db187 AL |
19 | The disk image (ISO file) provided by Proxmox includes a complete Debian system |
20 | ("buster" for version 1.x) as well as all necessary packages for the `Proxmox Backup`_ server. | |
58ea88c8 | 21 | |
4cda7603 | 22 | The installer will guide you through the setup process and allow |
58ea88c8 | 23 | you to partition the local disk(s), apply basic system configurations |
4cda7603 | 24 | (e.g. timezone, language, network), and install all required packages. |
4f3db187 AL |
25 | The provided ISO will get you started in just a few minutes, and is the |
26 | recommended method for new and existing users. | |

27 | |
28 | Alternatively, `Proxmox Backup`_ server can be installed on top of an | |
29 | existing Debian system. | |

31 | Install `Proxmox Backup`_ with the Installer |
32 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
58ea88c8 | 33 | |
4f3db187 | 34 | Download the ISO from |DOWNLOADS|. |
58ea88c8 DM |
35 | It includes the following: |
36 | ||
58ea88c8 | 37 | * The `Proxmox Backup`_ server installer, which partitions the local |
4f3db187 | 38 | disk(s) with ext4, ext3, xfs or ZFS, and installs the operating |
4cda7603 | 39 | system |
58ea88c8 | 40 | |
4f3db187 AL |
41 | * Complete operating system (Debian Linux, 64-bit) |
42 | ||
4cda7603 | 43 | * Our Linux kernel with ZFS support |
58ea88c8 | 44 | |
4f3db187 | 45 | * Complete tool-set to administer backups and all necessary resources |
58ea88c8 | 46 | |
4f3db187 | 47 | * Web based GUI management interface |
58ea88c8 DM |
48 | |
49 | .. note:: During the installation process, the complete server | |
50 | is used by default and all existing data is removed. | |
51 | ||
52 | ||
53 | Install `Proxmox Backup`_ server on Debian | |
54 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
55 | ||
4f3db187 | 56 | Proxmox ships as a set of Debian packages which can be installed on top of a |
4cda7603 | 57 | standard Debian installation. After configuring the |
58ea88c8 DM |
58 | :ref:`sysadmin_package_repositories`, you need to run: |
59 | ||
60 | .. code-block:: console | |
61 | ||
62 | # apt-get update | |
63 | # apt-get install proxmox-backup-server | |
64 | ||
4f3db187 | 65 | The commands above keep the current (Debian) kernel and install a minimal |
58ea88c8 DM |
66 | set of required packages. |
67 | ||
68 | If you want to install the same set of packages as the installer | |
69 | does, please use the following: | |
70 | ||
71 | .. code-block:: console | |
72 | ||
73 | # apt-get update | |
74 | # apt-get install proxmox-backup | |
75 | ||
4f3db187 AL |
76 | This will install all required packages, the Proxmox kernel with ZFS_ |
77 | support, and a set of common and useful packages. | |
78 | ||

79 | .. caution:: Installing `Proxmox Backup`_ on top of an existing Debian_ |
80 | installation looks easy, but it assumes that the base system and local | |
81 | storage have been set up correctly. In general this is not trivial, especially | |
82 | when LVM_ or ZFS_ is used. The network configuration is completely up to you | |
83 | as well. | |

85 | .. note:: You can access the webinterface of the Proxmox Backup Server with |
86 | your web browser, using HTTPS on port 8007. For example at | |
87 | ``https://<ip-or-dns-name>:8007`` | |

89 | Install Proxmox Backup server on `Proxmox VE`_ |
90 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
91 | ||
92 | After configuring the | |
93 | :ref:`sysadmin_package_repositories`, you need to run: | |
94 | ||
95 | .. code-block:: console | |
96 | ||
97 | # apt-get update | |
98 | # apt-get install proxmox-backup-server | |
99 | ||
100 | .. caution:: Installing the backup server directly on the hypervisor | |
4f3db187 AL |
101 | is not recommended. It is safer to use a separate physical |
102 | server to store backups. Should the hypervisor server fail, you can | |
103 | still access the backups. | |
