Tape support would be truly fantastic! We are still using storix for our 
tape backups, and have been looking for an alternative for a couple of 
years now.

Being able to use Proxmox Backup Server as storix replacement would be 
great.

We have one bare-metal linux server that we are also backing up to tape 
using storix. I guess when adopting Proxmox Backup Server, we would need 
to find a new solution for that bare-metal server?

(as in: Proxmox Backup Server is *only* capable to backup VM's, right..?)

Proxmox Backup Server is a great addition to the proxmox line of 
products! Thanks a lot!
