Why You Need Comprehensive Data Protection
Beyond Native Tools
Main Data Loss Threats in Proxmox VE
External Risks
Data Breaches → Hackers exploit
vulnerabilities to steal or damage data.
Ransomware → Cyber criminals encrypt
VMs, demanding ransom.
Disasters → Natural events or hardware
failures can cause irreversible data loss.
Main Data Loss Threats in Proxmox VE
Internal Risks
System vulnerabilities → VM sprawl, weak security
settings, and outdated snapshots
Human error → A simple mistake can lead to
permanent data loss. Employees may intentionally
or accidentally delete data.
VM misconfiguration → Incorrect storage, networking,
or backup settings can leave VMs unprotected
Why You Need a Third-Party Solution
● Single point of failure—risking total data loss
● Manual setup and scheduling—hard to manage at scale
● Performance impact—VM slowdowns during backup
and restore
● Push-based backups—exposing backups if the source
is compromised
● Limited recovery—no granular restore options for
specific files or items
● No built-in cybersecurity—leaving backups vulnerable to
ransomware
● Restricted storage choices—fewer options for where
and how you store backups
