The new update is highlighted by the integration of the stable Proxmox Backup Server version 1.0, their new, open-source, enterprise solution that backs up and restores VMs, containers, and physical hosts. Proxmox Backup Server supports incremental, fully deduplicated backups with strong encryption and allows users to easily backup virtual machines and containers. The platform also leverages QEMU dirty-bitmaps, which allows for fast backups from the Proxmox VE client to the Proxmox Backup Server, as only the changed data is transmitted.
In Proxmox VE 6.3, users just need to add the Proxmox Backup Server datastore as a new storage target. Users can also encrypt all client-to-server traffic on the client-side, which helps to protect data before it is backed up to the Proxmox Backup Server. The backup client offers multiple ways to store keys, keeping them safe and secure as well as being easily attainable when needed. Moreover, users can save key files to a secure file server or USB drive, copy the key into a password manager via text, or print a hardcopy of the key and physically store it somewhere safe.
As indicated above, Proxmox VE 6.3 supports Ceph Octopus 15.2.6 and Ceph Nautilus 14.2.15, while allowing users to select their preferred Ceph version during the software installation. Proxmox indicates that there is a range of new Ceph-specific management features added to the VE dashboard, including the ability to display recovery progress in the Ceph status panel.
In addition, it’s now possible for users to view and set the placement groups auto-scaling mode for each Ceph pool in the storage cluster, which adds flexibility and reduces upkeep of the Ceph storage cluster.
Proxmox indicates the following interface enhancements and other notable updates with version 6.3:
