6 | `Virtual machine`_ | |
7 | ||
8 | A virtual machine is a program that can execute an entire | |
9 | operating system inside an emulated hardware environment. | |
10 | ||
11 | `Container`_ | |
12 | ||
13 | A container is an isolated user space. Programs run directly on | |
14 | the host's kernel, but with limited access to the host's resources. | |
15 | ||
16 | Datastore | |
17 | ||
18 | A place to store backups. A directory which contains the backup data. | |
19 | The current implementation is file-system based. | |
20 | ||
21 | `Rust`_ | |
22 | ||
23 | Rust is a new, fast and memory-efficient system programming | |
24 | language. It has no runtime or garbage collector. Rust’s rich type | |
25 | system and ownership model guarantee memory-safety and | |
26 | thread-safety. This can eliminate many classes of bugs | |
27 | at compile-time. | |
28 | ||
29 | `Sphinx`_ | |
30 | ||
31 | Is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and nicely formatted | |
32 | documentation. It was originally created for the documentation of the | |
33 | Python programming language. It has excellent facilities for the | |
34 | documentation of software projects in a range of languages. | |
35 | ||
36 | `reStructuredText`_ | |
37 | ||
38 | Is an easy-to-read, what-you-see-is-what-you-get, plaintext | |
39 | markup syntax and parser system. | |
40 | ||
41 | `FUSE` | |
42 | ||
43 | Filesystem in Userspace (`FUSE <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace>`_) | |
44 | defines an interface which makes it possible to implement a filesystem in | |
45 | userspace as opposed to implementing it in the kernel. The fuse | |
46 | kernel driver handles filesystem requests and sends them to a | |
47 | userspace application. | |
48 | ||
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. |
