Dedicated Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) hosting with advanced deduplication, client-side encryption, and ZFS storage. Deploy PBS in Cape Town or Johannesburg with 32TB usable capacity, 95% storage savings, and 100Gbit INX connectivity.
Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is the enterprise-grade backup solution designed specifically for Proxmox Virtual Environment, offering unmatched efficiency and security for your virtual machines and containers.
Unlike generic backup solutions, Proxmox Backup Server is engineered specifically for Proxmox VE environments. It understands the intricacies of QEMU/KVM virtual machines and LXC containers, providing native integration that traditional backup software cannot match.
With content-defined chunking technology, PBS achieves up to 95% storage savings through advanced deduplication. This means you can store months of backup history in the same space that traditional backups would use for a single cycle.
Seamless backup and restore for VMs and containers with a single click
AES-256-GCM encryption ensures data is secured before leaving your infrastructure
Only changed blocks are transferred, minimizing backup windows and bandwidth
Instant VM recovery and single-file restore capabilities minimize downtime
Hosting your Proxmox Backup Server with Rackzar enables true 3-2-1 backup compliance. Your backups are stored offsite in ISO-certified data centers, providing the critical "1" in your 3-2-1 strategy (3 copies, 2 different media, 1 offsite).
Your backup data never leaves South Africa. With data centers in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, you maintain complete data sovereignty while ensuring compliance with POPIA and other local regulations. Perfect for financial services, healthcare, and government sectors requiring local data residency.
Rackzar operates a high-speed, low-latency network infrastructure connected at 100Gbit to all major South African Internet Exchange points. This ensures your backup traffic moves at maximum speed while maintaining local routing for optimal performance and data sovereignty.
