+System Requirements
+-------------------
+
+We recommend using high quality server hardware when running Proxmox Backup in
+production. To further decrease the impact of a failed host, you can set up
+periodic, efficient, incremental :ref:`datastore synchronization <syncjobs>`
+from other Proxmox Backup Server instances.
+
+Minimum Server Requirements, for Evaluation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These minimum requirements are for evaluation purposes only and should not be
+used in production.
+
+* CPU: 64bit (*x86-64* or *AMD64*), 2+ Cores
+
+* Memory (RAM): 2 GB RAM
+
+* Hard drive: more than 8GB of space.
+
+* Network card (NIC)
+
+
+Recommended Server System Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* CPU: Modern AMD or Intel 64-bit based CPU, with at least 4 cores
+
+* Memory: minimum 4 GiB for the OS, filesystem cache and Proxmox Backup Server
+ daemons. Add at least another GiB per TiB storage space.
+
+* OS storage:
+
+ * 32 GiB, or more, free storage space
+ * Use a hardware RAID with battery protected write cache (*BBU*) or a
+ redundant ZFS setup (ZFS is not compatible with a hardware RAID
+ controller).
+
+* Backup storage:
+
+ * Use only SSDs, for best results
+ * If HDDs are used: Using a metadata cache is highly recommended, for example,
+ add a ZFS :ref:`special device mirror <local_zfs_special_device>`.
+
+* Redundant Multi-GBit/s network interface cards (NICs)
+
+
+Supported Web Browsers for Accessing the Web Interface
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To access the server's web-based user interface, we recommend using one of the
+following browsers:
+
+* Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Extended Support Release
+* Chrome, a release from the current year
+* Microsoft's currently supported version of Edge
+* Safari, a release from the current year
