Terms of Use

Last updated: January 1, 2026. By using this website you agree to the terms described below. Please read them carefully.

1. About This Website

Proxmox-Backup.org is an independent, non-commercial fan site dedicated to Proxmox Backup Server, a free and open-source backup solution. We are a group of enthusiasts who use the software ourselves and want to share guides, background information and practical experience with the community.

We are not the official website of Proxmox Backup Server. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise connected to Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH, the company that develops and publishes Proxmox Backup Server. Any views expressed here are strictly our own and do not represent the opinions of the vendor.

2. Trademarks

The names "Proxmox", "Proxmox Backup Server" and "Proxmox Virtual Environment", along with all related logos and trademarks, are the property of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH. We use these names solely for identification and descriptive purposes — to talk about the software we love. No claim of ownership or partnership is made or implied. If the trademark holder believes any use on this site oversteps fair, descriptive use, we will gladly address the concern.

3. Informational Purpose and Downloads

All content on this site is provided for informational purposes only. We do not host, distribute or resell Proxmox Backup Server or any related installation files. When we refer to obtaining the software, we link to the official sources controlled by the developer. Always download software, documentation and updates exclusively from official vendor websites and official repositories to ensure authenticity and security.

4. No Warranty

The articles, guides and opinions published here reflect our personal experience at the time of writing. Software changes, configurations differ and mistakes happen. We make no representations or warranties of any kind — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability or suitability of the information on this site. Any action you take based on our content is strictly at your own risk. We strongly recommend testing every backup and restore procedure in a safe environment before relying on it in production.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operators of Proxmox-Backup.org shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or the information published on it — including, but not limited to, data loss, lost profits or business interruption.

6. External Links

This site may contain links to third-party websites, including the official vendor site, forums and community resources. We have no control over the content, policies or availability of those sites and accept no responsibility for them. A link does not imply endorsement unless explicitly stated.

7. User Conduct

When using our contact form or communicating with us, you agree not to submit unlawful, abusive, misleading or spam content, and not to attempt to disrupt or compromise the operation of the website. We reserve the right to moderate or refuse messages at our discretion.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time. Updates will be published on this page with a new revision date, and continued use of the website after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
