=== Assumptions ===

This guide focuses on ~~proxmox~~ servers and assumes a directory is established on ~~that~~ server for backups.

This guide focuses on Proxmox servers and assumes:

* A directory is established on the server for backups. Example: `/datadrive/Backups/`

* Services run within containers and VMs on the Proxmox server (host).

* SSH keys have been established and copied into each VM and container. Refer to the [[SSH Keys]] guide for more on SSH key generation and usage.

~~In this case~~, ~~we use /datadrive/Backups/~~

For specific service guides, see:

* [[Authentik Backup]]

This guide also assumes that services run within containers and VMs on the proxmox server (host) and that SSH keys have been established and copied into each VM and container. [[SSH keys]] cover more on SSH key generation and usage. ## Individual Guides See individual guides here: [[Authentik Backup]]

Instructions for restoring from backup will depend on the specific service and the type of backup used. Refer to the [[Authentik Backup]] or other service-specific guides for restoration steps.
