.. Note:: If you are using the statically linked binary of proxmox backup client
name resolution will not be performed via the mechanisms provided by libc,
but uses a resolver written purely in the Rust programming language.
Therefore, features and modules provided by Name Service Switch cannot be
used.

Statically Linked Backup Client
-------------------------------
A statically linked version of the Proxmox Backup client is available for Linux
based systems where the regular client is not available. Please note that it is
recommended to use the regular client when possible, as the statically linked
client is not a full replacement. For example, name resolution will not be
performed via the mechanisms provided by libc, but uses a resolver written
purely in the Rust programming language. Therefore, features and modules
provided by Name Service Switch cannot be used.
The statically linked client is available via the ``pbs-client`` repository as
described in the :ref:`installation <install_pbc>` section.
