1 | System Requirements |
2 | ------------------- | |
3 | ||
4 | We recommend using high quality server hardware when running Proxmox Backup in | |
5 | production. To further decrease the impact of a failed host, you can set up | |
6 | periodic, efficient, incremental :ref:`datastore synchronization <syncjobs>` | |
7 | from other Proxmox Backup Server instances. | |
8 | ||
9 | Minimum Server Requirements, for Evaluation | |
10 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
11 | ||
12 | These minimum requirements are for evaluation purposes only and should not be | |
13 | used in production. | |
14 | ||
15 | * CPU: 64bit (*x86-64* or *AMD64*), 2+ Cores | |
16 | ||
17 | * Memory (RAM): 2 GB RAM | |
18 | ||
19 | * Hard drive: more than 8GB of space. | |
20 | ||
21 | * Network card (NIC) | |
22 | ||
23 | ||
24 | Recommended Server System Requirements | |
25 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
26 | ||
27 | * CPU: Modern AMD or Intel 64-bit based CPU, with at least 4 cores | |
28 | ||
29 | * Memory: minimum 4 GiB for the OS, filesystem cache and Proxmox Backup Server | |
30 | daemons. Add at least another GiB per TiB storage space. | |
31 | ||
32 | * OS storage: | |
33 | ||
34 | * 32 GiB, or more, free storage space | |
35 | * Use a hardware RAID with battery protected write cache (*BBU*) or a | |
36 | redundant ZFS setup (ZFS is not compatible with a hardware RAID | |
37 | controller). | |
38 | ||
39 | * Backup storage: | |
40 | ||
41 | * Use only SSDs, for best results | |
42 | * If HDDs are used: Using a metadata cache is highly recommended, for example, | |
43 | add a ZFS :ref:`special device mirror <local_zfs_special_device>`. | |
44 | ||
45 | * Redundant Multi-GBit/s network interface cards (NICs) | |
46 | ||
47 | ||
48 | Supported Web Browsers for Accessing the Web Interface | |
49 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
50 | ||
51 | To access the server's web-based user interface, we recommend using one of the | |
52 | following browsers: | |
53 | ||
54 | * Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Extended Support Release | |
55 | * Chrome, a release from the current year | |
56 | * Microsoft's currently supported version of Edge | |
57 | * Safari, a release from the current year |
