    Snapshot difference between backup and done over the webinterface

    Hello. Out of curiosity. When we do a backup of our VMs with Proxmox Backup Server, we use the snapshot method. It works perfectly. But when we create a snapshot over the web interface for a certain VM, the VM get's stuck for about 20 minutes and the snapshot creation fails with an timeout. And...

    [SOLVED] Question about Backups

    Problem is bandwidth to our backup server, it has only 2x1 Gbit bonded in alb mode. So 6 (wrongly wrote 4 hosts before) hosts at once pushing each on 1 gbit to PBS I think could be problematic.

    Questions about Encryption and backup client

    Hello, we are evaluating to install a Proxmox Server and while reading the documentation, some question have arisen: 1. is the datastore encrypted or do I have to use client-side encryption? We do not need client-side-encryption, but would be nice if the datastore itself is encrypted...

    [SOLVED] Maximum (practicable) Size of QCow2 Image

    Stupid me ..... we are not using QCow2 on this particular server. It's using lvm-thin on local disks. So a 10 TB logical volume should not be a problem I asume.

    [SOLVED] Maximum (practicable) Size of QCow2 Image

    Hello, what is the maximum size of a single QCow2 Image for a KVM VM? Have a client who wants a VM with 10 TB diskspace. Can/should I assign a single QCow2 file with 10 TB or assemble with LVM p.e. 5 x 2 TB Images? Thanks and greetings, Thomas

    SATA DOM as OS discs?

    Warranty of the entire server is up to 3 years, depends how much we are willing to pay. In the techspecs there is a line "Drive writes per day" for 5 years with 1 dwpd. Should be an indication that it should last longer than the normal warranty of the rest of the server, shouldn't it?
