About PVE-BackupServer
PVE-BackupServer is the native client for Proxmox Backup Server. Monitor datastores, snapshots, and jobs directly from the app — whether at home on your LAN or remotely via VPN. DASHBOARD All key metrics at a glance: CPU usage, memory, uptime, and PBS version. Always know how your backup server is performing. DATASTORES Overview of all datastores with current usage, used and available storage. Namespace support for structured backup organization. SNAPSHOTS & BACKUP GROUPS All backups with hostname, type, and date at a glance. Groups with readable names, verify individual snapshots or delete them selectively. JOBS Backup jobs and prune jobs at a glance. Status of the last run, next scheduled execution, and direct execution from within the app. TASK LOGS Full logs of running and completed tasks in real time. Spot errors immediately without SSH or the web interface. DISKS & SMART Overview of all disks with model, type, size, health status (PASSED/FAILED), wearout, and temperature. React to failures early. AI ASSISTANT Built-in AI assistant with support for Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), and local LLMs (OpenAI-compatible). Ask questions about your PBS environment, trigger jobs or verify datastores — all by voice or text. Critical actions (start backup, verify, garbage collection) are always protected by a confirmation prompt. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS Get notified about failed backup jobs and completed tasks — always up to date without opening the app. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Shows the fill level of your datastores directly on the Home Screen — as a small or medium widget. SECURE & PRIVATE API tokens and credentials are stored encrypted in the iOS Keychain. No data is shared with third parties. Supports self-signed certificates and custom ports. COMPATIBILITY - Proxmox Backup Server 2.x and 3.x - Token authentication (API Token) - Username/password authentication - Self-signed certificates (fingerprint pinning)
