You need to understand how backup works. Specifically in stop mode:
VM is running
PVE tries to do a shutdown of the VM:
If QEMU Agent is configured and running, shutdown signal is issued with it.
Else, sends an ACPI signal which guest OS may or...
No matter whether developers decided on bits or on Bytes, they should place on the graph the unit they chose: "b/s" or "B/s" (or "p"(p like per) for "/" )
Not typing the physical unit on a graph automatically brought down the test grade at my...
Hi, i'm the developer of proxmoxbackupgo and s3 backup proxy , i'm happy to announce that as of now also backing up whole running OS to PBS is possible , restore is wip but can already be done "manually" by using dd + downloading the FIDX file...
PVE version, as restore is PVE side.
PVE 8.4 require updates to allow "Restoring from Proxmox Backup Server now fetches multiple chunks concurrently in each worker thread.
This can improve the restore performance in setups with fast network...
After you discover how it works under the hood, you will follow the recommended way : Local PBS then WAN PBS Remote Sync from.
Give a try , I bet on no more QEMU guest agent stopped with a local PBS.
Root cause isn't QEMU guest agent itself, others services can fail too.
I'd had same problem with too slow HDD on PBS side.
Too slow PBS impacts source guest activity , timeout up to crash

I did a quick test to reproduce this backup "hang" issue, and the results are pretty clear. It seems Backup Fleecing is exactly what we need for these kinds of bottlenecks.
My test setup:I tried to simulate a "worst-case scenario" with a...
