Hi al,

 On Sunday August 13 2023, Al Derosa said to Vorlon:

Plus there is the added feature of just having everything in one place. I
use proxmox in production on two servers. It works well. MY home server is
still on ESXi though.. I'd have to take everything down to to test and it's
a pain (I need hardware passthough).

Also the added thing of backing uo the vm's.. It's built into the system.
I've tested the backup's on a different box, and they have worked 99% of the
time. The main thing that needs fixing is the boot process. That's quickly
fixed by booting a iso in restore/recovery mode and re-installing grub (When
linux)...
