Ahhh, thanks for reminding my about the fact that all PVE tools have CLI commands to do all the things most ppl use the web interface for - I was going to use a RPi backup server machine to do the backups, but yea - I could just tell PVE to send them over... awesome.

Maybe using PVE .vma.gz backups will be enough for me - I don't know that I *need* an entire PBS system.

Ok - now this is just overkill!!! Thanks a ton for all the data here, I'll be sure to extract this message and use it to help setup my solution. GREAT STUFF - thanks, vorlon!
