Did I understand the upgrade guide correctly that in order to backup pve 9 I also need pbs version 4? In thise case I should probably wait for pbs4 to be released and upgrade to pbs4 first correct?

I just created a backup of another vm and for some reason this backups is not encrypted while the previous backups where here is the log: Do you have a clue why this backup has not been encrypted? I would guess that the backups should be encrypted since it mentions INFO: enabling encryption in...

I can confirm this does not work, I get the same error when trying to restore a encrypted virtual machine.

Ahh okay thanks, I will wait until all of my virtual machines have finished backing up. And then do another run to check that :)

After installing updates today morning backups are now encrypted. I just started a backup of all my virtual machines. But for some of my virtual machines which I used to test the encrypted backup the entire backup was reuploded? Even tough the virtual machine in question is running. So I thought...

Okay, I have now for test reasons created a brand new LXC container that has never been backuped and created a backup of it. In the storage.cfg I have removed the line as requested. But again the backup is not encrypted. And the log also doesn't mention any encryption being done. Backup log...

Okay, I have now dropped the line. So that my config looks like this (/etc/pve/storage.cfg): pbs: xxx datastore xxx server xxx content backup fingerprint xxx maxfiles 0 username xxx but backups are still not being encrypted (backups are triggered...

Thanks, I have now created the file manually. But when I now do backups the backups still show up as not being encrypted in the Proxmox Backup Server. My storage.cfg section for pbs on my pve host looks like this: pbs: xxx datastore xxx server xxx content backup...

Thanks for the hint that helped a lot. I just checked but the path /etc/pve/priv/<STORAGE-ID>.enc does not exist on my home lab server. Do I need to do anything special to generate this key? If I understand the docs correctly it should autogenerate it self.

And on another note. Where is this backup key stored? So that I can back it up securely? So I don't loose access to the backups. Also the docs https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pvesm.1.html do not mention the --encryption-key autogen parameter :)

Ahh thanks, I now did the same thing for my backup server storage entry and the command worked. I did now created a lxc container backup (of a container that has not been previously been backuped) and when taking a lock at the pbs it shows up as not being encrypted and the XPAR File browser also...

I have just updated my lab host at home to the latest version and with this version the above command fails. root@pve01:~# pveversion -v proxmox-ve: 6.2-1 (running kernel: 5.4.44-2-pve) pve-manager: 6.2-9 (running version: 6.2-9/4d363c5b) pve-kernel-5.4: 6.2-4 pve-kernel-helper: 6.2-4...

Because if I try it for my local storage on my home lab server it throws an error: root@pve01:~# pvesm set local-zfs --encryption-key autogen update storage failed: error during cfs-locked 'file-storage_cfg' operation: unexpected property 'encryption-key'

So this is going to encrypt my pve host storage? And how can I encrypt the already existing virtual machines and containers? And can I simply use this to encrypt the pbs storage? So that I run pvesm set pbsstroagerepo --encryption-key autogen on my pve host.

Hey, I would like to do a encrypted backup of my virtual machines to my Proxmox Backup Server. How can I do this? From what I have found in the docs I can create a key using proxmox-backup-client key. But how can I use this key for my scheduled backups? Thanks for your help, Timo
