Proxmox currently provides a statically linked binary for the proxmox-backup-client, which runs on most modern x86-64 Linux systems [0]. The client is currently distributed as deb package only, can however be easily extracted from that archive. Currently there is no active work in providing other packaging formats, this might however be something worth looking into, also with respect to builds for other architectures. However, this must be tightly integrated with our internal workflow and pipelines, @Thomas opinions from your side? > I plan to produce them using http://build.opensuse.org which provides > a platform to create native packages for several distributions. > > Regards. > CI.- [0] https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#install-statically-linked-proxmox-backup-client
