While I was attempting to look up how to backup a Proxmox host to a remote Proxmox Backup Server over Zerotier, all the instructions I found were very complex. While those instructions are true if you want to route an entire network, it is very easy to get a single Proxmox host and single PBS server connected over Zerotier.

1. Join both host and PBS to the same Zerotier network
2. Add 2 routes in Zerotier, each pointing to the remote subnet the Zerotier IP of the remote host as the Via address in Zerotier.
3. Add the PBS server to the Proxmox host like normal.

As an example, this is my Managed Routes section of Zerotier with a working backup job.

the UniFi Express 7 looks pretty decent in capacity and features - and likely a contendor replacement for the UniFi Lite Router I have since my NTG days. Has that really been ten years ago now?

I will say I sort of feel that they seriously missed the mark in the design. Seems that USB-C has to be shoved into everything - but seriously - why!!??

They could have easily put the PSU into the unit and only had the AC power cable. True, the unit shouldn't need to be moved once in place. But,.. really? Get real - Just because USB--C can do so much, doesn't mean that you need to use it everywhere - especially when all you are suppling is 5v. Incorporate the whole thing and it'll be a better format.

That said,.. I'm still likely to move to something like it or this in the future.

I had a location with a UniFi Lite router that died around a year ago. Upgrading to the UniFi Express doubled their throughput with QOS enabled. Went from 300MB download to 600MB. Upload is limited because of the cable connection.
