Offsite Proxmox backups without exposing PBS.
For Proxmox admins, MSPs, and SREs who want encrypted offsite copies, Zero Trust access, and fast restores—no public ingress required.
Why IsoVault
- Keep PBS private-by-default with egress-only firewall rules and Cloudflare Zero Trust policies.
- Own your keys: client-side encryption with optional server-side management and rotation—no escrow.
- Recover fast: Proxmox-native deduplication keeps transfer sizes small and restores quick.
PBS protects more than Proxmox
PBS can back up Linux systems—not just Proxmox nodes. This is the real market opportunity.
- Proxmox VE VMs: full + incremental backups, block-level dedupe, ZSTD compression.
- LXC containers: same workflow, very fast.
- Any Linux server: use
proxmox-backup-clientto back up directories, app folders, home dirs,/etcconfigs, DB dumps, or whole disks (chunked).
Onboard Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky, Alma, RHEL, Fedora, headless Linux boxes, Raspberry Pi/ARM—no Proxmox install required. A Debian PBS becomes a universal backup destination.
How it works
- Deploy an IsoVault-provided PBS (managed) or connect your existing PBS.
- Create a Cloudflare Tunnel from PBS to a private endpoint and lock it with identity-aware access.
- Install the IsoVault CLI or Docker image, authenticate with a scoped token, and run your first backup.
- Schedule recurring backups and automated restore checks to validate integrity.
Outcome: encrypted, offsite Proxmox backups with RPO measured in hours and restores that stay behind Zero Trust.
What you get
- Encrypted snapshots, incremental transfers, and regional storage options.
- Scoped tokens per repo/namespace, MFA through Cloudflare Access, and audit-friendly logs.
- Operational help: onboarding assistance, runbooks, and priority email support.
