Proxmox Backup Server can be deployed as a system container on TrueNAS for efficient VM and container backups. Running PBS on TrueNAS provides proper ZFS storage management, near-instant data access through dataset mapping, and faster disaster recovery compared to running it on Proxmox itself. The setup involves creating a ZFS dataset with specific permissions, deploying a Debian container, installing PBS, and connecting it to your Proxmox environment. For off-site protection, ZFS replication to a secondary TrueNAS or PBS-to-PBS replication are recommended approaches.
