SSH or Log into your Proxmox host as root and clone the repo.Doing so will break the ability to easily pull down backups from the remmote. When setting up the encryption, I DO NOT reccomend you encrypt the filenames and directory names. Further information on configuring rclone can be found here: Setup an rclone remote and encrypt that remote if so desired. Install rclone with apt-get update apt-get install rclone. I recommend Google Drive though because you can get a Google Apps business account for $12 a month which gets you Unlimited drive space. This was built and tested with Google Drive only, however it should work with other providers as well. There is also an easy to use script to pull old backups from the remote so that you can restore them like you normally would through the webui or vzdump tool. You will need to manage that separately if you do not have unlimited space.

The script DOES NOT prune backups stored on the remote. The backup script also prunes local backups after a configurable amount of days. īackups are stored in the rclone remote and organized into YEAR/MONTH/DAY directories to ease the management of the backup files. RClone is based off another tool called RSync but with RClone you get so much more functionality built in such as encryption. RClone is most popular with Google Drive but it can be used for other cloud providers. Rclone is a command line tool that allows you to sync files from your local disk, to a cloud storage device. This is a vzbackup hook script that backups up your proxmox vms, containers and pve configs to remote storage such as google drive using proxmox's native vzbackup tool and rclone.
