Just a short information: With the release of Debian 13 (trixie) (see my German post Debian 13 (trixie) veröffentlicht) also Proxmox VE 9 and Backup Server 4 has been released a couple of day ago.
The release notes from 5. August 2025 of the virtualization software promises a seamless upgrade from Proxmox VE 8.4, VM snapshots on thick-provisioned LVM storage with snapshots as volume chains (as a technology preview), and several other features.
A discussion between German readers can be found in the comments on the German blog post Debian 13 (trixie) veröffentlicht. The Register mentioned the release in this article and points out that Proxmox Backup Server 4.0 has also been released. Details about this new version can be found in the linked article.
