VMHost Backup advice
What are you trying to backup? VMs or the host itself? If host, hypervisors are usually meant to be disposable since you can import config from VMFS and VMX. You can backup configuration files within ESXi just to not redo complicated networking config. If you want to backup VMs, use any 3rd party software (yes, there are no built-in backups). If you are running free ESXi, you are pretty much forced to use agent-based backup or use scripts from Github - https://github.com/lamw/ghettoVCB.
-
PVE, PVE + VM'd TrueNAS CORE, TrueNAS SCALE, or something else?
All of the hypervisors you've mentioned (Proxmox, ESXi, XCP-NG) are capable of PCI passthrough, so it really boils down to which one you're comfortable with. ESXi is feature-limited regarding backups (unless you acquire a paid vSphere license or choose to use ghettoVCB).

Proxmox vs Hyper-V Server Core vs VMWare vSphere Hypervisor
VMware ESXi Free (or vSphere Hypervisor) is a great option, however, it has limitations. The main limitation is that storage api is limited, and you can't use Veeam or alternatives to backup VMs. You can use ghettoVCB with free ESXi. https://github.com/lamw/ghettoVCB

ESXi backup solution
Oh, got it. You can try using GhettoVCB with free ESXi. https://github.com/lamw/ghettoVCB

Migration from Proxmox
In case you are planning to use ESXi free, you can use ghettoVCB to backup your VMs. https://github.com/lamw/ghettoVCB

Esxi config backup?
Veeam has no such option. For ESXi configuration backup you can use ESXi Configuration Backup Tool or GhettoVCB. https://www.vladan.fr/free-esxi-configuration-backup-tool/ https://github.com/lamw/ghettoVCB

Best Approach For Storing Your VM's On A NAS
Backups - either use Veeam at the OS level or leverage ghettoVCB to do backups from the ESX host itself using snapshots (I use the latter, personally) and replicate them to your backup NAS.

Researching what to use for purely local Linux home server backup (no cloud backups)
Pro: No need for a special index database. The chunks are placed in the file system. This explains it in greater detail. Seems to place great emphasis on reliability, which is important for me. Versioning is also supported.

Your privacy is optional
Having all your data in one place isn't wise though, so I am planning on storing encrypted backups on Dropbox and Backblaze B2 using Duplicity so that I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule.

Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?
I tried a bunch of different ways but ultimately settled on Duplicacy [0].
It runs inside a Docker container and backs up both my data as well as configurations like my docker compose file and smb.conf.
Off site storage was Backblaze B2, but I moved to Hetzner. Likely will move back just because B2 is cheaper and a bit faster for my region.
Another layer of backup I do is use Duplicacy to backup to a portable hard drive occasionally that I keep off site.
