Hi, an idea: [Proxmox](https://www.proxmox.com/en/)’s backups would be a nice target for integration with Storj. ---

Proxmox natively supporting cloud backups appears to be a feature request that isn’t fully implmented yet. Even for their backup server product. [https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=3169](https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3169) I haven’t seen any updates with more information after this. ---

One other thing that stunned me about Promox recently was that to change a VM id it was recommended to restore from backups! ---

You can do it right now: 1. [Setup rclone](https://docs.storj.io/how-tos/sync-files-with-rclone) 2. Use script and method suggested there: [Proxmox backup VM over object storage B2 / S3 | Proxmox Support Forum](https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-backup-vm-over-object-storage-b2-s3.62774/#post-290938) You can also do the same with uplink with a little advantage like expiring objects and automatic deleting of old backups. Maybe even [Duplicati](https://docs.storj.io/how-tos/backup-with-duplicati) would be a better solution, since it could do the same by schedule and backup only the difference. ---

Isn’t this still a problem Alexey? “the storing part is not the problem (chunks already have a unique key, so they’d map nicely into S3 objects), but the way we do garbage collection currently is not 1:1 mappable to S3” The bug report above is dated later than the thread you posted. ---

Since it’s not implemented on their side, the only viable way would be backup VMs at the moment. They way behind the Veeam in this matter. ---

It is a very early release product. I’m running the latest and it is only Backup Server 1.1-5. They’ve not even added agents to be able to backup other os’es outside of Proxmox as yet so it’s not a general backup solution yet. (though I think can can backup Linux bare metal installs). Exactly as you noted I run Veeam Backup and Replication for everything else except the Proxmox VM’s.
