I have our server at my son's house on a proxmox server.  But we are running Windows dedicated.  Seems the box lost power for some reason. Power loss it seems Going to get him a UPS for it.  But it's a bigger question for a Windows stand-alone server. Is there a way to backup the server and characters every say hour that does not involve shutting down the server to do this?  I can automate most of the process. I was wondering if I could just tell proxmox to do a snapshot but not sure if I have room on the host drive. 

Any help or insight would be welcome.

Thanks.

On Windows, not very well.  You cannot copy the files to backup while they are in use.

3rd-party software like Duplicati may be able to do this, but I have seen mixed results with it personally.

Linux on the other hand, you can just set up an rsync once an hour to make backups. You can even configure it to do them incrementally. (Allocs management scripts has a very nice example of this.) And with Linux, you can actually copy the files to backup without a problem.

Not to mention a boost of 10-15% in server performance over Windows due to superior processor and memory management.
