Setting Up my PROXMOX Backup Server!

I've gone from "no backups" to "raid is a backup" to "two zfs pools in one box", and decided it's finally time for a proper backup solution. So, I settled on Proxmox Backup Server! And today, I rebuild my HP Microserver Gen8 with 4x10T refurbished SAS drives, a new SAS controller card, and more! With this backup solution, I'm feeling a lot better about my data migration to Ceph. If you get the error "blk_update_request: protection error" with your refurbished drives like I did, do a SCSI format - "sg_format --format /dev/sdX" Link to the blog post with slightly more information: https://www.apalrd.net/posts/2023/pbs...
