Proxmox backup options
As of Proxmox VE 5.0, there are two backup options included out of the box:
- Full backup: This backs up the entire virtual machine
- Snapshots: This freezes the state of a VM at a point in time
Proxmox 5.0 can only do a full backup and cannot do any granular file backup from inside a virtual machine. Proxmox also does not use any backup agents for guest VMs.
