Hi everyone.
I have some old proliant servers with raid 5 controllers and i want to use it to put in it my veeam backups.
After some reading i want to try to
- Install proxmox VE
- create XFS storage space
- use this storage to use as repository on my HYPERV VBR11
Does anybody have some good informations on how to do that (websites / forums / Self Experience ).
The server have raid 5 2 volumes (200go for system , other for datas)
Can i format the second volume in XFS and put on it some VM and create a "directory" used for repository ????
For now i only use HYPERV host and VBR 11 community and Enterprise (for LTO backup)
Thanks for your help.

Re: Create Repository on Proxmox Server
Hi Plavielle
Why Proxmox VE? I recommend to just install Ubuntu and not virtualizing your repositories.
A virtualized repository server will come with additional challenges regarding security or recoverability. An attacker can just delete the VM and you loose all your backups.
Our recommendation: Install Ubuntu (or any other supported OS) directly on that hardware and use it as a hardened repository. Your backups will be immutable and with the right security hardening protected against deletion from an attacker.
Best,
Fabian
