Helo. One of my proxmox servers crashed, but I have a full backup of directory /private with all VE inside. Is there an easy way to restore or what is the fastest way? Thank you.

I guess you can just copy the data (rsync, cp). But you also need the container configuration files - you have them stored too?
 
vzdump backup includes config files (since the beginning).
or what do you mean?

Just an easy way to backup config files on the same server, where I'm actually performing raw file backups .
Probably is a redundancy of a novice user ...

vzdump is doing this, what do you miss exactly? looks that I do not get your problem ...

As I told it is a redundancy:
- I'm doing backups with vzdump
&
-Also doing backups of *.conf and *.raw

After your inputs, If I want a redundancy, a can make a second copy of the vzdump *.tar.

Thanks & Regards
 
so you want that we implement the same backup thing again? this makes really no sense to me ...

You can make the built-in backup of Proxmox keep a certain number of backups before it overwrites what's been done previously.

Make a file /etc/vzdump.conf
and put this line in it
Code:
maxfiles: 2

In this case if you do a weekly backup, there would always be a copy of the most recent backup, as well as the week before.

This setting is global, and applies to all the backup directories in use, for every backup job.
