Hello,
    My current backup is simple. I do a full stop VM backup that goes directly onto my QNAP NAS through an NFS mount within Proxmox. I have had a major crash of my Renegade BBS while i was on vacation in Pennsylvania and i was able to get a VM restore within 10 minutes so it seems to be a great solution. I also do additional backups at the file level within each VM for redundancy. I forgot to mention that the VM backup is weekly.
     On another note. Do you remember that server Vorlon that i sent you the specs about? The PowerEdge you said was a great choice. It was $700 but i didnt have the money to spend so i told him no.. then he lowered it to 600 and then 500.. So i picked it up for $500. It comes with Windows 2019 Datacenter and Vsphere licenses. I saw it running and everything seems to be working. Hopefully as i recover more from surgery, I will be able to get it up and running. :)
