Agentless Backup for Proxmox VE

Catalogic DPX provides agentless data protection for Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE). DPX protects the QEMU virtual machines running on a Proxmox VE cluster without installing any software inside the guests, reading virtual machine data through the Proxmox API and the Proxmox DPX Plugin on the Proxmox host. A single Proxmox VE node in DPX represents an entire Proxmox cluster.

Supported Proxmox VE versions:

Agentless Proxmox VE BackupProxmox Restore
Proxmox VE 9.2.5Proxmox VE 9.2.5
Proxmox VE 8.4Proxmox VE 8.4
