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 |
