Proxmox VE has seen remarkable growth in popularity and adoption across industries of all sizes. All organizations share a common problem: ensuring their data is protected and ready to be restored at a moment’s notice. Rapid data recovery is critical in the face of unexpected outages to the ever-present threat of ransomware. Veeam Data Platform provides Proxmox VE users with a proven solution to meet these challenges head-on.
If you are not familiar with Proxmox VE, it is a hypervisor platform that has rapidly evolved and is worth a look. It has gained popularity due to its flexibility, enterprise-grade features, and cost effectiveness, making it an attractive choice for organizations seeking a modern, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional hypervisors.
That’s why Proxmox VE is supported by Veeam Data Platform Advanced, which consists of two key components: Veeam Backup & Replication, providing comprehensive backup and recovery solutions, and Veeam ONE, offering monitoring, reporting, and analytics for data compliance and protection.
Seamless Migration to Proxmox VE
If you’re considering a move to Proxmox VE, the migration process is simplified when workloads are protected, secured, and diligently monitored by Veeam Data Platform. Virtual machines can be restored from other hypervisors and public clouds to Proxmox VE, streamlining the migration process and reducing risk.
Once migrated, workloads can be protected without the need for drastic changes to your knowledge or skillsets. Best of all, features that provide secure data protection, such as immutable repositories, which prevent data tampering and ensure data integrity, remain fully supported.
When it comes to restoring Proxmox-based VMs, the possibilities are extensive, ranging from recovering full VMs to application-level restores, single-file recovery, and more. With almost two decades of experience protecting virtualized workloads, Veeam has earned its reputation as a leader in data protection (2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™) and now extends its powerful capabilities to Proxmox VE environments. To take data protection to the next level, Veeam ONE, a comprehensive monitoring and analytics solution, enhances the power of the Veeam Data Platform.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits of the monitoring and analytics features in Veeam Data Platform Advanced.
Advanced Data Protection Insights with Veeam Data Platform
When it comes to protecting data, organizations need every insight they can get their hands on. With the ever-present threat of cyberattacks and ransomware, we need to be able to ensure we can recover at a moment’s notice, and that our recovery will go as expected. That’s where Veeam ONE comes in.
Veeam ONE provides actionable insights through the Veeam ONE client and Veeam ONE Web Client. The Veeam ONE client enables data protection professionals to configure alarms and remediate issues such as backup job failures while providing an at-a-glance view of all Proxmox VE-based jobs and their current status. Additionally, Veeam ONE Business Views empower non-data protection professionals with customizable dashboards. This allows users to visualize IT performance and understand its impact on business outcomes while making informed decisions, without needing in-depth technical expertise.
While these capabilities help solve problems before they become risks, they represent just a fraction of what Veeam ONE offers for Proxmox VE environments.
The Power of Veeam Data Platform
The Veeam ONE Web Client is an easy-to-use interface that provides a huge range of features and functionality. It provides an at-a-glance dashboard view of your data protection environment, and allows for reporting to be scheduled, run, and shared. This simple interface can be used by everyone from data protection professionals, to app owners, to directors and above. Reports and dashboards can be shared simply by sending a link, or reports can be sent to stakeholders’ inboxes automatically. Out of the box, there are many Veeam ONE reports, and the ability to create custom reporting using Veeam ONE’s powerful analytics engine. Dashboards are also simple to completely customize.
When organizations move to Proxmox VE, it quickly becomes a critical piece of their infrastructure, and it is important to ensure that VMs on Proxmox VE are securely protected, just as they were on their previous platform.
Whether you are migrating to Proxmox VE from a legacy hypervisor, or working with a new deployment, it is essential to ensure that your data is protected and ready for recovery.
Veeam Data Platform’s reporting capabilities can provide you with the peace of mind you need in today’s environment and help you demonstrate to business stakeholders that your critical data is protected. Let’s take a closer look at some of the top reports in Veeam ONE that support Proxmox VE environments.
Workload Protection History – This is a key report that not only helps you determine which jobs are running successfully and unsuccessfully in your environment, but let’s you see the historical patterns in your environment. You can set the time period in the report parameters, so it is easy to see what is, and what is not working correctly. This report is a must-have for all environments.
Immutable Workloads – Another excellent report is the immutable workloads report. With Veeam Data Platform, there is really no reason not to be protecting workloads in an immutable fashion. While this is called the Immutable Workloads report, the reporting mechanism shows all workloads in the environment, along with their restore points. This allows administrators to quickly see which workload backups are not currently immutable so they can be quickly remediated. Parameters such as target immutability period and number of immutable restore points desired can also be set in the report.
Scale-out Backup Repository Configuration – The Scale-out Backup Repository Configuration report provides an in-depth analysis of your Scale-out Backup Repositories (SOBRs). This report displays the SOBRs present in your environment and their utilization rates. Additionally, it includes detailed information about the extents that comprise each SOBR and their immutability status. The report highlights the available free space, offers specifics such as backup sizes, and indicates the number of virtual machines (VMs) stored on each extent.
Malware Detections – This report scans your environment for potential threats and classifies results by severity: infected, suspicious, or no anomalies. These clear classifications help administrators quickly prioritize responses and take appropriate remediation steps. With Veeam Data Platform Advanced, YARA‑based malware scanning is unlocked, enabling deeper inspection of backup data against known threat patterns. The added capability strengthens your ability to detect and respond to emerging threats before they impact production workloads.
Backup Alarm State Overview – This report shows an overview of the triggered backup alarms in the environment. It breaks things down further to show top 10 VMs with issues, top 5 jobs with issues, and top 10 triggered alarms, which can help you understand where issues are coming from in the environment, and how to quickly remediate them.
Other popular reports for Proxmox VE environments in Veeam ONE include Capacity Planning for Backup Repositories, Job History, Veeam Backup Files Growth, and Data Sovereignty Overview reports. These reports give you even more visibility into your environment’s operations.
Enhanced Monitoring With Veeam Threat Center
Circling back to Veeam ONE’s powerful dashboard, much of the information available in these and other reports is also viewable by a dashboard widget. These widgets can be dragged and dropped to build the ultimate view of your environment.
Out of the box, Veeam ONE provides the Veeam Threat Center dashboard that helps organizations focus on the overall security and compliance of their environment. Veeam Threat Center aggregates data across your environment, of course including data from your Proxmox VE data protection environment.
Within the Veeam Threat Center is the Data Platform Scorecard, which displays scores for key aspects of your environment such as platform security compliance, data recovery health, data protection status, and backup immutability status. In today’s climate this dashboard is essential for understanding your overall security posture, and managing threats as they emerge. From each of these mini widgets on the dashboard, you can also quickly generate the full corresponding report.
Also on the Veeam Threat Center are two critical components that are essential to any recovery strategy — RPO Anomalies and the SLA Compliance Overview. These widgets play double duty, first to alert you to risks in your environment to quickly remediate them, and then to prove to other areas of the organization that your environment is ready for recovery at a moment’s notice.
