      It's been a long time since I used it (like 2014) but it worked really well back then. I do more with containers now so I haven't looked into using it at home.

        Seen a lot of people on Reddit who love it. Myself I tried it maybe 3-4 months ago for giggles and felt too removed from the core OS/KVM to really lean anything. I am more in a learning phase so decided to pass for now.

        I'm specifically evaluating for deployments primarily in small SMBs managed remotely by MSPs. So nothing intensive, but places where the built in backups and web interface are huge features.

          The built-in backup feature was the main reason I was interested.

            Proxmox VE backups are always full backups

            That seems annoying. . .

                Only have full backups, while functional is a limitation. I know of many places that can't wait minutes - hours at a time for a backup to operate so CR style backups are a must.

                Also fuck you @VoIP_n00b starting with the personal attacks.

                    Not ideal, but with compression and dedupe, not the problem it seems to be. And it is far less risky that continuous partials that always depend on rehydration.

                          I always like how you can setup permissions for users, groups, pools and roles. Also use different servers for authentication.

                            During the Proxmox installation, it’s nice to options for file system like ext4, xfs and zfs if you are into zfs.

                              Having the option to enable Two Factor Authentication is plus if the WebUI is accessible from a public IP.

                                Proxmox is great been using it for a couple of years with little to no issues. The new Ceph wizard makes setting up Ceph quick and easy. It has Incremental backups but I prefer to just replicate VM to another node.

                                  I'm a SMB and been using it in production for 7 years. 40 VM's with a 3 node cluster. NFS backed - yeah I know IPD lol. Looking to fix that soon but it's been rock solid.

                                      Just tried it tonight and super impressed.

                                        Creating snapshots of UEFI VMs is a lot easier with Proxmox because its using LVM Thin.

                                          following this thread. Time to test this out on a spare box. I've always steered clear of this due to the feedback on here, but initial research looks like it has some pretty awesome features. The builtin backup features are nice too. And it has an API for even more automation. I like that. Time to spin up a box.
