In an era where digital services are integral to daily life, self-hosting emerges as a compelling alternative to relying solely on third-party providers. By deploying services on personal or organizational servers, individuals and businesses gain enhanced control over their data, ensuring it remains local and private. This autonomy allows for tailored configurations and robust security measures, aligning with specific privacy requirements. However, it's crucial to recognize that the responsibility for data protection rests with the user; without diligent security practices, self-hosted data can be vulnerable.

Therefore, while self-hosting offers significant privacy advantages, it necessitates a commitment to maintaining a secure environment to safeguard sensitive information.

After reading this insightful thread on the Proxmox forum: Backup Cluster Config (pmxcfs /etc/pve), I was inspired to create an automated backup solution for my Proxmox configuration.

I decided to implement a systemd script that automates the backup of the Proxmox sqlite database that contains the cluster configuration.
Here is the script I came up with:

Everything started from my desire to create a backup solution in case the hard drives in my NAS (Synology DS220+) fail or become unusable for any reason.
