   6 `Proxmox Backup`_ is based on the famous Debian_ Linux
   7 distribution. This means that you have access to the entire range of
   8 Debian packages, and that the base system is well documented. The `Debian
   9 Administrator's Handbook`_ is available online, and provides a
  10 comprehensive introduction to the Debian operating system.
  11
  12 A standard `Proxmox Backup`_ installation uses the default
  13 repositories from Debian, so you get bug fixes and security updates
  14 through that channel. In addition, we provide our own package
  15 repository to roll out all Proxmox related packages. This includes
  16 updates to some Debian packages when necessary.
  17
  18 We also deliver a specially optimized Linux kernel, based on the Ubuntu
  19 kernel. That kernel includes drivers for ZFS_.

  21 The following sections will concentrate on backup related topics. They
  22 will explain things which are different on `Proxmox Backup`_, or
  23 tasks which are commonly used on `Proxmox Backup`_. For other topics,
  24 please refer to the standard Debian documentation.
