| Host System Administration
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| `Proxmox Backup`_ is based on the famous Debian_ Linux
 | |
| distribution. That means that you have access to the whole world of
 | |
| Debian packages, and the base system is well documented. The `Debian
 | |
| Administrator's Handbook`_ is available online, and provides a
 | |
| comprehensive introduction to the Debian operating system.
 | |
| 
 | |
| A standard `Proxmox Backup`_ installation uses the default
 | |
| repositories from Debian, so you get bug fixes and security updates
 | |
| through that channel. In addition, we provide our own package
 | |
| repository to roll out all Proxmox related packages. This includes
 | |
| updates to some Debian packages when necessary.
 | |
| 
 | |
| We also deliver a specially optimized Linux kernel, where we enable
 | |
| all required virtualization and container features. That kernel
 | |
| includes drivers for ZFS_, and several hardware drivers. For example,
 | |
| we ship Intel network card drivers to support their newest hardware.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The following sections will concentrate on backup related topics. They
 | |
| either explain things which are different on `Proxmox Backup`_, or
 | |
| tasks which are commonly used on `Proxmox Backup`_. For other topics,
 | |
| please refer to the standard Debian documentation.
