How to Back Up Proxmox VE with Catalogic DPX 4.16

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Setting up a reliable Proxmox backup should include more than getting one successful job. You need to know which virtual machines are protected, where their recovery points are stored, and whether you can restore a working VM when it matters.

This guide walks through that process with Catalogic DPX 4.16. You will add a Proxmox VE cluster to DPX, install the required host plugin, create an agentless backup job to vStor, and test a full virtual machine restore. The instructions reflect the current DPX 4.16 Proxmox documentation as of August 10, 2026.

Companies moving to Proxmox VE usually reach backup planning early in the migration. Proxmox is straightforward to run, and its licensing gives teams more freedom in how they build their infrastructure.

For many environments, Proxmox Backup Server is the right answer. It comes from the same company and plugs straight into Proxmox VE. PBS provides incremental backups, deduplication, encryption, replication, file-level restore from VM and container backups, live restore that starts a VM while its data is copied, and tape support. A Proxmox-only environment with retention measured in weeks or months may have no need for a second product.
