Step 1-Agentless Proxmox Backup: BDRShield offers an agentless backup solution for Proxmox environments, eliminating the need for agents within each VM.

Step 2-Checkpoint Creation: Backup starts by creating checkpoints that capture the entire state of the VM, including OS, disks, and files, ensuring consistent and reliable backups.

Step 3-Secure Data Transfer: Backup data is securely transferred to local or cloud repositories (NAS, SAN, S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, etc.) using encryption to protect data integrity.

Step 4-Incremental Backups: After the initial full backup, BDRShield performs incremental backups, capturing only the changes made since the previous backup to reduce time and storage use.

Step 5-Retention and Management: Flexible retention policies allow organizations to retain data based on version or time, offering both version-based and day-based retention.
