If you’ve been waiting for Proxmox Backup Server 4 to go fully cloud-native — this is the update that changes everything. The latest release now supports S3-compatible object storage, making it easier than ever to create off-site, redundant backups using Wasabi, Backblaze, MinIO, or even Ceph RGW — without third-party tools or extra complexity. In this video, Zack Perry from 45HomeLab walks you through how to configure S3 Datastores step-by-step, why this is a massive leap for Proxmox users, and how it fits perfectly into a 3-2-1 backup strategy for your homelab or production setup.
What You’ll Learn:
How to add and configure S3 endpoints in PBS 4
Setting up your Wasabi S3 Datastore (same process applies to Backblaze, MinIO, and others)
Why S3 backups are critical for true off-site protection
Real-world hardware examples using the HL15 2.0 with #amd EPYC power
How #PBS 4’s native integration compares to VMware, Xen, and Hyper-V backup workflows
Key performance considerations, storage costs, and when to use S3 vs. ZFS or NFS
With this release, Proxmox Backup Server finally joins the cloud era — offering flexibility, reliability, and simplicity all in one open-source package. Whether you’re protecting your VMs, LXCs, or full Proxmox configurations, this guide will help you take your backup strategy to the next level.
