This is more than one year ago. I have since canceled my servers. While I did cluster them, I can't remember how exactly I did it. I've "downsized" to a single virtual server, so I don't use Proxmox anymore...

Well, I'm not using those, but I guess that if the backup is one large file, my script could be modified to do the same with it. The critical point is: you can't diff a GZ file (or more precisely, you could, but the implementation of the binary diff program is bugged and it doesn't work). That...

Your reply doesn't really answer my question in a clear way. Are you saying that LessFS comes with some tools that not only manage a local file system, but also provide efficient synchronization between computers over a network? So you then use those tools instead of say, rsync, to get your...

I'm afraid I don't fit in "personal use", so it's nothing for me, but thanks anyway. I'm not dead against commercial products; it's just that they usually only actually save you money on a large scale, not on a small-to-medium one. 15 USD per month is fine, but 500 USD isn't, and most products...

I must be missing something ... I understand that deduplication save space, but how does it save bandwidth? If I download a deduplicated full backup from my Internet server into my home test server, with sftp or rsync, then a full backup goes over the net. How else could it be? Happy new year...

OK, I tried again. From both the "normal" and the "basic" uploader I get the message: The following errors occurred: diffBackup.py: Invalid FileTrying it with an HTTP URL gives the same result. The file is about 14K. Then I tried to zip it and it finally worked; does the uploader only accepts...

Have a look at this other thread http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/5386-Incremental-backup where I posted a link to a script that uses xdelta3.

I don't really know how to do this. I tried uploading an attachment, but the page says "Uploads not utilized within one hour will be deleted" which makes the whole concept of uploading files pointless. And I tried to PM you, but it says I do not have the rights to do that. So I gave up and...

Alright, I've got a working python script that can make differential backups from the full vzdump backups, and the other way around. It's "alpha", but if you really need it, I could send it to you (or anyone else).

Hi! Normally, I have the following run once a day as a cron job: vzdump --snapshot --size 16384 --compress --maxfiles 7 --allBut today I wanted an extra backup, in addition to the 7 old ones, so I ran manually: vzdump --snapshot --size 16384 --compress --alland it made the new backup, but...

I'm working on something like that. I could give it to you when it works...

I found out through this page here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/vzdump.1.html that vzdump used to support an xdelta option to do differential backups, and that it eventually got removed, but I could not find the reason why. I have never used xdelta, therefore I have no...

After solving my /etc/hosts issue (in the host) by making it immutable, I still couldn't create a cluster. After a bit I found out hat it was due to Cluster.pm, so I tried to "fix" it like this: root@hydra:/usr/share/perl5/PVE# diff Cluster.pm.bak Cluster.pm 182c182,183 < my $localip =...

IMHO, one of the sentences on the page: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Central_Web-based_Management is misleading: To me, "access" doesn't just mean having a look at the configuration and resource usage, but also actually being able to log into the VM and perform admin tasks. While you can log...

I have vmbr0 defined as: "address 10.254.254.254", according to some How-To telling you how to setup Shorewall as Firewall. eth0 is my real Internet IP. Unfortunately Proxmox points the hostname to vmbr0 IP in /etc/hosts, instead of eth0 IP. I've exchanged many emails with the support of my...
