I have attempted to do that, hope it's in the correct category. https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3307

On second thought, it would be nice to lock/protect/tag a backup from being deleted due to the backup retention policy. My work around is to move any special backups I want to keep to a different storage location.

After updating to 6.3-3 I see now there's an option to add notes to a backup, that'll serve my purpose.

Is there any provision to rename backups via the GUI?

After trying my 6.2 USB installer on another computer and verifying that the USB installer works there, I finally figured out the correct BIOS settings to boot a USB drive.

I have been trying to create an installer USB stick for Proxmox 6.2 for my Dell Precision T5810. It can boot my Windows 10 USB installer but it cannot find a boot device when I create a USB Proxmox installer with Etcher or Rufus using the official USB installer guide (I have tried using two...

I think in this case, you are referring to the VM's snapshot feature, whereas in Backup and Restore, snapshot mode just means the VM backup is done live instead of stopping and restarting the VM.

I'm using an internal WD 4TB Black mounted in Proxmox. Checking SMART data shows no abnormalities. I have now had a regularly scheduled backup that was successful on all my VMs, even the ones turned off so I don't know why the first attempt failed.

I am running v 5.1-43 and all my VMs are set to a fix, non-ballooning amount.

So I left the two previously stopped VMs running overnight and scheduled another backup attempt and this time it worked to backup all 4 running VMs. So, then my question is, what backup mode should I use to handle both running and stopped VMs?

Hi, I'd appreciate some helping figuring out why the backup on two of my VMs failed. I've attached a copy of the backup log. The two VMs that failed were not running and the two that succeeded were running. The backup job is configured to use Snapshot mode on all the VMs. I see that it tries to...

I briefly tried an install with EXT4 & LVM and another with ZFS RAID-0 on a single disk, and I find those file systems & mounting points confusing and not very straightforward. It did look like the ZFS setup used only 1 partition between root and the image storage which is nice (not having to...

What hard drive install options should I use for installing Proxmox 5 on a single new 480GB SSD (PM863 or SM863)? What if I use both SSDs for redundancy? Should I manually set the maxroot/maxvz sizes and what ratio/size do you recommend?

I'm working on installing v5 on a new drive as my old drive running 2.3 seems to be having trouble. I have removed the old drive, and installed v5 on my new drive. Now when I shutdown, connect the old drive to transfer VM images, upon boot up it appears to load the v5 boot loader but the old...

I ran the fio tests discussed here, on a Mushkin Chronos MX 240GB SSD. I ran some tests while it was plugged into the P67 Sata2 (3G) controller and also while connected to the Sata3 (6G) controller. I feel like the speeds were pretty decent for consumer SSD. That being said, both times the drive...
