I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

Then what's the purpose over just setting up the built in snapshot backup tool, that unlike PBS can natively back up onto an SMB network share?

    I'm not super familiar with how snapshots work, but that seems like a good solution. As I remember, what pushed me to PBS was the ability to make incremental backups to keep them from eating up storage space, which I'm not sure is possible with just the snapshots in Proxmox. I could be wrong, though.
