After running Proxmox on my server in my homelab as well as for work for several years now, I have looked into ways to backup the essential files for an easy reinstall if and when needed. Since most Proxmox setups run on bare metal hardware recover is a little more involved than just creating a snapshot or backup and reverting to an earlier point in time.

I often backup the files with rsnapshot, but sadly Debian 11 has dropped rsnapshot from their repo due to the fact that rsnapshot hasn’t been maintained in over two years. I do have a fix for that by following this link here: https://blog.wretchednet.com/post/bringing_rsnapshot_back_to_debian/. Update it appears that rsnapshot is back up and running on Debian 12 stable.
