Some of the features of ProxSave

💾

Backup & Recovery for Proxmox

Automatically saves system files and critical configs from Proxmox VE and PBS so you can rebuild infrastructure even after total failure.

Multi-storage backups

Write backups to local storage, NAS, and 40+ rclone providers (Drive, S3, B2, MinIO, etc.) with retries and checksum verification.

AGE Encryption

Streamed backups encrypted with AGE—no plaintext on disk, multi-key and passphrase support for strict security/compliance.

📅

Smart retention with GFS

Advanced daily/weekly/monthly/yearly policies that maintain long histories while consuming minimal space.

Integrated notifications

Telegram, email, Gotify, webhooks (Discord/Slack/Teams) plus Prometheus metrics keep you aware of backup status.

Optimized compression

Choose zstd, xz, or gzip to balance speed and storage, ensuring standard restore compatibility.

Security Checks

Each run checks for suspicious processes in the system and the correct permissions for ProxSave files.
