DDerekG replied to the thread Questions of a Newbie about virtualization of PBS.Hi athompson3117, I have done a similar setup for my secondary PBS, but I've used ISCSI as the target, which is presented to the PBS as a block device, just like a drive. That does improve the performance but in regular use I use the sync...

I started using PVE a little over a month ago to replace my VMware homelab. I wanted to use my QNAP NAS for backups, especially since it has native support to push files to the cloud. I also wanted to use PBS for the deduplication capabilities to... -
DDerekG replied to the thread Minisforum UM790: USB4/Thunderbolt Passthrough.Well I finally got the boltclt list -a to identify my devices after going through all my config and ensuring that nothing related was actually blacklisted form the attempts at iGPU passthrough. Now I can enroll my device OK, it shows enabled but...

DDerekG replied to the thread Questions of a Newbie about virtualization of PBS.Reconnecting a PBS to a backup datastore, is not a simple process, it's not like connecting to an SMB/NFS share, believe me, I've done it, and even 1st time connecting to an external datastore is not a simple process because the PBS needs...

DDerekG replied to the thread USB Thunderbolt NIC Coldboot Problem.Have you checked for the latest USB4 update from ASUS.? (it appears to be separate from the BIOS firmware) I'm having a problem with a USB4 egpu dock, which I've worked on for weeks, and my system (Aoostar WTR MAX), uses the same USB4...

Hi @anthony1956 , welcome to the forum. While I sympathize with your situation and your request, we have all been there, what you are proposing is essentially a "knee-jerk" reaction and has very little chance of being implemented. It may make...

DDerekG replied to the thread Questions of a Newbie about virtualization of PBS.Hi exaveal, The question should not be, is it possible, but how would you recover should the host die when it is hosting both the PVS & PBS.??? I'm assuming that you are not backing up the full 12TB of Proxmox VM's/LXC's along with the media...

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.Sorry @Impact I was writing my reply as yours came in. I did try a second backup, but it was still crawling the entire 2TB of that folder, even if it didn't upload anything to the PBS. The Only way I could exclude it was to take the folder...

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.Just a heads up on this backup issue. After a couple of days of digging into the fault, I found that I could exclude the offending folder (meilisearch) from the backup, but then the app wouldn't start after restore. So the dev made a change to...

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.Thanks for the heads-up, I was not aware of that option. However, I stopped a quick test backup at 35 mins, assuming that the 'metadata' setting might shorten the time, it wouldn't be by much. Having identified the offending folder, I'm still...

DDerekG replied to the thread [SOLVED] AMD RX 7800/9070 XT vendor-reset?.Gemini is mixing old and new passthrough data, and it will never work following any AI's advice. I have passed through the AMD 780m GPU to Windows 11 and it requires a meticulous process to function correctly. Passthrough requires the correct...

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.For anyone else following this, I think I've got to the root of the problem. The issue is application specific, in that the CT app generates a 2.TB sparse file found by running the following command run inside the container: ~# find / -xdev...

DDerekG replied to the thread USB to SATA causing proxmox to crash after write.I guess you know that USB connected drives can be temperamental in ANY server system, that's why they are not recommended. You might be better off setting up the USB drive as a networked share and then bind mounting the share into the LXC, that...

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.Hi Chris, Thanks for your input, I used ncdu to check for the large sparse file but the only one I could find of anything like 2TB was the kcore file, which as 120TB & normal as far as I can tell. I did change this CT from unprivileged to...

DDerekG replied to the thread Planning a Proxmox Setup: Home Assistant OS, Pi-hole, Nextcloud, Game Servers & Shared Storage.That is not true, not lately anyway. They are not as good as Intel or NVidia, but that doesn't mean that it won't work. The writer states that it's a mini PC, so unless it can support an external eGPU that won't help.
-
DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.I'll try that, but this can't possibly be due to the mount points, the logs state that they are excluded, the 2TB size doesn't correspond to any of the mounted shares. Plus if I run a manual backup to an SMB share this error doesn't occur, it...

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.Ah, thank you, I didn't notice that task history. Here is the relevant logs: INFO: Starting Backup of VM 405 (lxc) INFO: Backup started at 2025-12-31 02:44:53 INFO: status = running INFO: CT Name: tunarr INFO: including mount point rootfs ('/')...

DDerekG replied to the thread old SATA drive to share media.You are welcome to try any of the multitude of LXC file servers, I just didn't have a good time with them myself (and got tired of working though the config only to find some part didn't work as I expected), especially with USB drives. In the...

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.Sorry, I don't know where to get the logs from the pve, the node is a member of a cluster.

DDerekG replied to the thread CT backup to PBS - Excess data causing very long backup window.Hi Impact, Details as per request: The backup log is way too large so here is the start, and the end I have already posted: 2026-01-05T05:03:01+00:00: starting new backup reader datastore 'Backup': "/backup" 2026-01-05T05:03:01+00:00: protocol...
