Pricing calculator showing dynamic storage scaling

Start for free,
scale as you go

You can start with 100GB for free and scale as you need. You only pay for the size of the datastore, so you can scale it dynamically depending on the amount of backups you want to save!

  • 100GB free tier to get started
  • Resize your datastore at any time
  • Usage-based billing so you only pay by the hour
Email notification system demonstration

Keep an overview

We've built a log system combined with email notifications, so you can get notified if something goes wrong.

  • Configure notification types
  • Configure success and failure notifications from jobs
  • See and tail logs directly in the interface
  • Configure custom alert targets or custom webhooks
Autoscaling configuration showing automatic capacity adjustment

Autoscale automatically

Let your datastore grow and shrink with your needs — no manual resizing required. Autoscaling adjusts capacity every 5 minutes based on actual usage, so you always have the right amount of storage without paying for what you don't need.

  • Scales in 100GB increments based on usage
  • Checks and adjusts every 5 minutes automatically
  • Disable downscaling to lock in capacity when needed
  • Configure upper and lower thresholds to control scaling behavior

Geo-replication settings showing multi-region backup distribution

Replicate across regions

Protect your backups against events no one can control. Geo-replication automatically syncs your data to multiple geographic regions — so even if a natural disaster or major infrastructure failure affects one location, your backups remain safe and accessible.

  • Up to 3 additional copies in separate regions
  • Automatic sync every 15 minutes
  • Intelligent server selection for maximum geographic spread
  • Simple pricing per copy per hour - full flexibility

Immutable backups settings showing read-only backup protection

Immutable backups

Create a read-only copy of your backups that nobody can modify or delete - not even you. Immutable backups protect against ransomware, accidental deletion, and compromised credentials by maintaining a separate copy that only a controlled sync job can write to.

  • Read-only restore access via dedicated API token
  • Deletions on your primary datastore don't propagate
  • Independent retention policies for longer history
  • From 3€/TB/month based on actual usage

Bob

Meet Bob.

Meet Bob, a well-meaning IT specialist who learned the hard way about backups. His data was like a single egg in one basket—fragile and vulnerable. But then he discovered the magical 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies of his data, on 2 different types of media, with 1 offsite.

Determined to prevent such tragedies, Bob mastered the 3-2-1 rule:

  1. Copies: Three separate copies for extra safety.
  2. Types of Media: External hard drives and cloud storage for diversity.
  3. Offsite: At least one copy stored securely offsite.

With his newfound knowledge, Bob became known as the Backup Hero. He saved his company from numerous data disasters and helped others implement robust backup strategies. His mantra? "Backup like your life depends on it, because it does!"

Take Bob's Advice:

Ensure you have three copies of your data, on two different types of media, with one offsite. It's simple, yet powerful. Start securing your digital future today!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Proxmox Backup Server hosting services

Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) hosting is a managed cloud service that provides secure offsite storage for your Proxmox Virtual Environment backups. Instead of running your own backup server hardware, we host and maintain the PBS infrastructure for you. This gives you enterprise-grade backup features like deduplication, incremental backups, and encryption without the hardware costs or maintenance overhead.

Remote-Backups.com offers competitive pricing in Europe at just €8.50 per TB per month (billed in 100GB increments with a 500GB minimum). We also offer a free 100GB tier to get started. All prices are net — taxes may apply. You only pay for the storage you reserve with no hidden fees.

Yes, absolutely. We operate exclusively from data centers in Germany and comply fully with GDPR and European data protection regulations. Your backup data never leaves the EU, and we implement strict access controls, encryption, and privacy measures. As a Germany-based company, we take data protection seriously and ensure your backups remain private and secure.

Connecting is simple and takes about 5 minutes: 1) Create your free account at Remote-Backups.com, 2) Get your PBS connection details (server, port, credentials), 3) In your Proxmox VE web interface, go to Datacenter > Storage > Add > Proxmox Backup Server, 4) Enter your connection details and datastore name, 5) Configure backup jobs and start backing up. We provide detailed step-by-step guides and support to help you get started.

Proxmox Backup Server offers significant advantages over traditional backup methods: Deduplication reduces storage by 60-80% by storing unique data blocks only once, Incremental backups transfer only changed data after the initial backup, Fast recovery allows you to restore entire VMs or individual files quickly, Encryption provides client-side encryption to protect your data before it leaves your network, and Verification ensures automatic integrity checks for backup reliability. Traditional backup solutions typically create full backup copies each time, consuming much more storage and bandwidth.

Yes! Incremental backups are a core feature of Proxmox Backup Server. After your initial full backup, only the changed data blocks are transferred and stored. This dramatically reduces backup time, bandwidth usage, and storage requirements. Combined with deduplication, you can achieve storage efficiency of 70-90% compared to traditional full backups.

Absolutely! Remote-Backups.com is perfect for homelabbers. Start with our free 100GB tier and scale as your needs grow. Many homelab enthusiasts use our service because: No upfront hardware costs, Pay only for what you use, Follows the 3-2-1 backup strategy (offsite copy), Enterprise features at homelab-friendly pricing, and Easy setup with Proxmox VE integration. Whether you're running a few VMs or a full home infrastructure, we've got you covered.

You have full control over backup retention policies. Common configurations include: Keep daily backups for 7 days, Keep weekly backups for 4 weeks, Keep monthly backups for 12 months, and Custom retention rules based on your requirements. You can configure different retention policies for different backup jobs, giving you flexibility to balance storage costs with recovery options.

Yes, your data is protected with multiple layers of encryption: Client-side encryption means data is encrypted on your Proxmox server before transmission using AES-256, Transport encryption protects data in transit via TLS/SSL, Storage encryption keeps data encrypted at rest in our data centers, and You control the keys with client-side encryption, so only you have access to your backup data. This ensures your backups are secure even in transit and at rest.

Our infrastructure is hosted in secure data centers in Germany. We chose Germany for its strict data protection laws (GDPR compliance), reliable infrastructure and connectivity, central European location for low latency, and no data sovereignty concerns for EU customers. Your backup data stays within Germany and never leaves the European Union.

We provide comprehensive monitoring and notifications: Email alerts for backup failures, Detailed logs in your dashboard, 24/7 monitoring of infrastructure health, and Support team available to help troubleshoot. Our log system keeps you informed about every backup job, so you know immediately if something needs attention.

Yes! Proxmox Backup Server supports backing up both: QEMU/KVM virtual machines with full VM backups and consistent snapshots, LXC containers with container backups and file-level restore, and Physical hosts using the PBS client for physical servers. All backup types benefit from deduplication, compression, and incremental backups.

Restoring is straightforward through the Proxmox VE interface: Navigate to your PBS storage in Proxmox VE, Browse available backups, Select the backup and click Restore, Choose to restore the entire VM/container or individual files, and Restore to the original location or a new VM. You can also use the PBS web interface for more advanced restore options, including file-level recovery.

Yes! Our reseller program includes API access for: Automated datastore provisioning, Customer management, Usage monitoring and billing, and White-label integration options. MSPs and IT service providers get reseller pricing from €8/TB and dedicated support. Contact us to learn more about our reseller program.
