3 `Proxmox VE`_ Integration
4 -------------------------
6 You need to define a new storage with type 'pbs' on your `Proxmox VE`_
7 node. The following example uses ``store2`` as storage name, and
8 assumes the server address is ``localhost``, and you want to connect
11 .. code-block:: console
13 # pvesm add pbs store2 --server localhost --datastore store2
14 # pvesm set store2 --username user1@pbs --password <secret>
16 .. note:: If you would rather not pass your password as plain text, you can pass
17 the ``--password`` parameter, without any arguments. This will cause the
18 program to prompt you for a password upon entering the command.
20 If your backup server uses a self signed certificate, you need to add
21 the certificate fingerprint to the configuration. You can get the
22 fingerprint by running the following command on the backup server:
24 .. code-block:: console
26 # proxmox-backup-manager cert info | grep Fingerprint
27 Fingerprint (sha256): 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe
29 Please add that fingerprint to your configuration to establish a trust
32 .. code-block:: console
34 # pvesm set store2 --fingerprint 64:d3:ff:3a:50:38:53:5a:9b:f7:50:...:ab:fe
36 After that you should be able to see storage status with:
38 .. code-block:: console
40 # pvesm status --storage store2
41 Name Type Status Total Used Available %
42 store2 pbs active 3905109820 1336687816 2568422004 34.23%
44 Having added the PBS datastore to `Proxmox VE`_, you can backup VMs and
45 containers in the same way you would for any other storage device within the
46 environment (see `PVE Admin Guide: Backup and Restore
47 <https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_vzdump>`_.
