Question 1

What is Double Drive PBS?

Accepted Answer

Double Drive PBS is a Proxmox backup solution with automatic replication across two geographically separate sites in France. Your data is protected against local disasters.

Question 2

What is the distance between the two sites?

Accepted Answer

Both datacenters are located in the Paris region but are geographically separated to ensure resilience against local disasters (fire, flood, power outage).

Question 3

Is the replication synchronous or asynchronous?

Accepted Answer

Replication is asynchronous to avoid impacting your backup performance. The replication delay is typically less than a few hours.

Question 4

Can I restore from either site?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in case of a disaster on the primary site, your data remains accessible from the secondary site. The failover is managed by our technical team.

Question 5

Can my backup be compromised by ransomware?

Accepted Answer

Double Drive PBS snapshots and the ability to restore from different points in time protect you against ransomware. With your data replicated across 2 sites, even if one site is compromised, you can restore a snapshot taken before the attack from the other site. Client-side AES-256 encryption adds an additional layer of protection.

Question 6

How is NimbusBackup managed?

Accepted Answer

RDEM Systems keeps both PBS instances operational 24/7 across 2 sites. Our team handles planned maintenance, inter-site synchronization via PBS sync, and emergency interventions — including failover to the secondary site in case of disaster.

Question 7

Is my data encrypted?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all backups are encrypted with AES-256 client-side via proxmox-backup-client before transfer. Only you hold the encryption key. Neither RDEM Systems nor the datacenters can access your data in clear text.

Question 8

Where are my backups hosted?

Accepted Answer

Double Drive PBS backups are replicated across two geographically separate European datacenters, ensuring GDPR compliance and resilience against regional disasters. French hosting available on request.

Question 9

Can I back up physical Linux servers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, proxmox-backup-client can be installed on any Linux server, not just Proxmox VE. You can back up your physical servers, VMs, and containers to your managed cloud PBS with geo-replication included.
