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.
