I really like this idea. Keep the drop-downs from before, and provide a textfield for advanced configuration. That would be more intuitive, because the UI would handle syntax transparently. The advanced textbox could be empty or contain a sensible default. Many users would be able to serve their...

Yes, the timezone would be even more pertinent information to larger environments managed from multiple timezones. I find both the server's timezone and the web browser's time zone pertinent. In the OP screenshot, both are being used on the same page (compared in red) without any explicit...

Bug Report: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4906

Upon further investigation, I suspect that the discrepancy in the backup scheduling time might be related to a mismatch between the timezone of my web browser and the Proxmox server. This could very well be the root cause of the confusion in the displayed time. I would prefer that the "Next...

I am writing to report a potential bug I have encountered in Proxmox version 7.4-15. My issue pertains to the backup scheduling feature. I have set a backup schedule as follows: "mon,tue,wed,thu,fri 18:15" (please refer to the attached screenshot). However, in the display of the next run time...

https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4793 Thanks.

I am writing to request a feature enhancement to the web interface's built-in backup utility. As it stands, the utility allows for deletion of one backup at a time, which can be time-consuming when managing large numbers of backups. Furthermore, the current design does not maintain scroll...

Dear Proxmox Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I have encountered while using Proxmox VE 7.4-3. The problem is specific to keyboard input when using the "Console" tab on a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine. This retired VM contains a virus...

@dcsapak provided some informative links that address why the VMA file format exists: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/vma-archive-restore-outside-of-proxmox.14226/post-474057 This sheds some light as to why VMAs are not as rsync-friendly as true raw image files are between off-site backups. I...

@dcsapak Thank you putting my concerns to rest. I found this link especially informative. This also sheds light as to why VMAs are not as rsync-friendly as true raw image files are between off-site backups. I understand that PBS addresses this in ways that rsync cannot.

What purpose does VMA serve that isn't served by a raw image file? I seriously don't understand why VMA exists. I speculate that it exists exclusively to deter migration to Proxmox KVM alternatives? If that's the reason, do you see the irony? The only reason I'd ever consider migrating to an...

There's no doubt that PBS is superior, but prior to PVE 7, my automated rsync offsite backups were reasonably efficient. After PVE 7.0, it doesn't matter if the backup file is a compression of none, LZO, GZIP, or ZSTD; all of them seem to be either "randomized or encrypted" (at a low level) to...

@t.lamprecht First of all, thank you for directly addressing each of my concerns/speculations. While the UI may not be a regression in terms of flexibility, it is certainly a regression in terms of intuitiveness. Previously, without reading any documentation (and without any worry of malformed...

On my 4K displays, those fonts looked perfect. Never the less, I've shrunken them down as requested. The screenshots probably look magnified too (due to 4K capturing twice as many pixels as is typical). Hopefully, it is at least readable now. @Huch @Spirog

I've been holding back a long time, but I've decided to go ahead and say what's on my mind. This is the most overloaded drop-down-menu I've ever seen and it needs to be changed back to how it was before! : Instead of trying to use one drop-down to set "day of week" and "Start Time" (at the...
