Here is a complete list of the Proxmox servers currently running continuously in our environment. Not included in this list is the TR server, which has been taken offline for the time being due to components being removed for reuse, and the Proxmox Backup Server, which continues to be used automatically as a backup destination by all VM servers.
The configurations for these two (TR server and PBS) are detailed in this post.
