powersupport replied to the thread VM Fails to backup and job gets stuck.Hi, From the config, the VM is currently showing lock: backup, which suggests a previous backup task may be stuck. That alone can prevent new backups from progressing. Also, since the disk is QCOW2 on NFS and you’re using snapshot mode, it... -
powersupport posted the thread Proxmox VE 8.4.x Offline Upgrade in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.Hi Team, I have a question regarding the Proxmox version upgrade. Currently, our Proxmox is running version 8.4.0, and we plan to upgrade it to the last version of 8.4.x.However, because our security department does not allow us to grant...

powersupport replied to the thread Move backups from disk to disk.Hi, You may want to check how your storage is configured first. In Proxmox, backups are usually stored as regular files (in the <span>dump/</span> directory), so there’s no direct GUI option to move them between storages. One approach you can...

powersupport replied to the thread windows server 2025 not starting in Proxmox.Hi, The issue appears to be that your Windows Server 2025 VM is stuck in an Automatic Repair loop and unable to boot normally. Since the cloned VM is also showing the same behavior, this likely indicates OS-level corruption or a possible...

powersupport replied to the thread Whole disk backup every time on stopped VM.Hi, This is normal behavior. Even though the virtual machine is stopped and hasn’t changed, the system still needs to scan the whole disk during backup. However, it does not actually store or upload the full data again. Since nothing changed...

powersupport replied to the thread Raid1 boot array, drive replacement procedure.Replacing a Failed Disk in Proxmox (BTRFS RAID1 – Simple Explanation) If one disk fails in a Proxmox BTRFS RAID1 setup, your server will still boot from the other disk. That’s normal and expected. Sometimes it boots in “read-only mode.” This is...

powersupport replied to the thread move vm backup to namespace but vm id is equal.Hi, This is expected behavior in Proxmox Backup Server. VMIDs must be unique within the same namespace, so moving a backup to the root namespace will fail if the same VMID already exists there. Currently, there is no way to rename or change the...

powersupport replied to the thread VM names disappear.Hi, This usually happens when the Proxmox GUI or services don’t refresh the VM list properly, even though the VMs are still running. You can try restarting Proxmox services instead of rebooting: systemctl restart pve-cluster pvedaemon pvestatd...

powersupport replied to the thread Mountpoints for LXC containers broken after update.After the update, Proxmox now handles container mount points more strictly. This mainly affects unprivileged containers. Mounted folders now show up as root:root inside the container, so services like MySQL can’t access their files. If a mount...

powersupport replied to the thread VM Internal Error.This VM runs Blue Iris, which heavily uses the GPU all the time (video decoding, encoding, and AI processing). Other VMs using the same Intel GPU are fine because they don’t use the GPU as heavily or continuously. What appears to be happening...
-
powersupport replied to the thread timeout when accessing backups via gui.Hi, In Proxmox VE 8.4, the GUI gets the backup list from the Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). The “communication failure (0)” usually means a temporary connection or timeout issue to PBS. You can check logs here: On Proxmox VE...

powersupport replied to the thread Slow backup of Proxmox VMs.Hi, This speed is normal for your setup. Backups are slow because: The backup system is running inside a virtual machine The disk is a USB hard drive The storage is going through another device (Raspberry Pi) Backup software does more work...

Before we communicate this back to the customer, we just want to double-check with the Proxmox community: Is this manual cleanup approach (Safe Mode...

powersupport posted the thread How to remove VMware Tools after ESXi → Proxmox migration (Windows) in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.Hi, After migrating Windows VMs from VMware ESXi to Proxmox, we are seeing VMware Tools errors on the guest OS. Guest OS: Windows Server 2016 / 2019 / 2022 / 2025 Could you please advise: The recommended way to manually remove VMware Tools on...

powersupport replied to the thread Can't backup 1 VM to Proxmox Backup Server.Hi, Since other VMs back up fine to the same PBS, this looks VM-specific, not a PBS issue. The error happens before the backup task starts, which often points to: Corrupted incremental / dirty bitmap state Snapshot issue on that VM Small...
