Proxmox Enhances Backup Control, Introduces Datacenter Manager
Proxmox has released updates to its backup server and introduced a new datacenterโข Manager, โoffering usersโ greater control โover data protection and centralized management โคofโ thier Proxmox environments. Theโ updates, announced today, โขfocus on refined traffic โคmanagement, improved backup verification speeds, and expanded storage โคoptions.
Theโค Proxmox backup Server hasโ been updatedโ to version 4.1, building on its role asโฃ a dedicated, open-source platform for incremental and encrypted backups across the โProxmox ecosystem.โค โค This release โฃintroduces user-basedโค bandwidth limits for backupโฃ and restore operations,โฃ allowing administrators to prioritize critical services and โคsegment โฃproduction from test environments. Versionโ 4.1 also allows configurable thread allocation for reading backup data and checksum โcalculations,substantially acceleratingโค verification processes. Furthermore, โคbandwidth limitations for โขbackups and restores to S3 endpoints -โ a feature introduced inโ version 4.0 – have been added โto prevent network congestion.
These enhancements arriveโฃ as organizations increasingly rely on virtualization for business continuity andโข disaster โคrecovery. โ Proxmox’sโ centralized management tools and granular โcontrol over backup processesโ are designed to address the growing complexity of managing virtualized infrastructure, particularly for businesses with limited IT resources. The new Datacenter Managerโฃ aims to โคstreamline administration,โค offering a single pane of glass for monitoring and controlling Proxmox clusters.
