We are currently out of free tier datastores. You can still register and create paid datastores. Join the newsletter to get notified when new hosts are added which will increase the free-tier offering.

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

Edge locations for faster backups

Backups over high-latency links are slow because of PBS protocol overhead and TCP congestion window limits. Edge locations place a write accelerator and TCP multiplexer close to your servers, delivering up to 13x faster transfers with a single hostname change.

  • Up to 13x faster backups over high-latency links
  • Included free with every plan
  • One hostname change — no agents or software to install
  • No data persists on edge nodes after backup completes

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.

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.

Proxmox Backup Server offers significant advantages: Deduplication reduces storage by 60-80%, incremental backups transfer only changed data after the initial backup, fast recovery lets you restore entire VMs or individual files quickly, client-side encryption protects your data before it leaves your network, and automatic verification ensures backup integrity.

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 70-90% storage efficiency 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. No upfront hardware costs, pay only for what you use, follows the 3-2-1 backup strategy, enterprise features at homelab-friendly pricing, and easy Proxmox VE integration.

You have full control over backup retention: keep daily backups for 7 days, weekly for 4 weeks, monthly for 12 months, or define custom rules. You can configure different policies for different backup jobs, balancing storage costs with recovery options.

Yes, with multiple layers: client-side AES-256 encryption before transmission, TLS/SSL transport encryption in transit, and storage encryption at rest. With client-side encryption, you hold the keys — only you can access your backup data.

Our infrastructure is hosted in secure data centers in Germany — chosen for strict GDPR compliance, reliable connectivity, central European location, and no data sovereignty concerns for EU customers. Your data never leaves the EU.

We provide email alerts for backup failures, detailed logs in your dashboard, 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, and a support team to help troubleshoot. You'll know immediately if a job needs attention.

Yes! PBS supports QEMU/KVM VMs with full backups and consistent snapshots, LXC containers with file-level restore, and physical hosts via the PBS client. All types benefit from deduplication, compression, and incremental backups.

Restore directly from the Proxmox VE interface: navigate to your PBS storage, browse available backups, select a snapshot and click Restore, choose full VM/container or individual files, and restore to the original location or a new VM.

Yes! Our reseller program includes API access for automated datastore provisioning, customer management, usage monitoring, and white-label integration. MSPs get reseller pricing from €8/TB and dedicated support.

Upgrading is instant: log into your dashboard, select your desired size (minimum 500GB), and your datastore expands immediately. Scale up or down anytime — billed in 100GB increments at €8.50/TB per month, no long-term contracts.
