Hello, the proper procedure of backup and restore contains also... a test restoring :).
Seriously, one should also restore a backup after creating the backup procedure. Then repeat this from time to time.
Better safe than sorry! :)
The thing is, no one else can tell you until you actually do a test-restore. It's Schrodinger's backup until you do the thing on your own hardware and verify it for yourself and your environment.

Ja, es zeigt aber auch an, dass 7354 MB für Caches verwendet werden (genau das, was linuxatemyram.com beschreibt), von denen 7269 MB auch für andere Sachen verwendet werden können. Damit sind dann aber vom der VM zugewiesenen RAM trotzdem 7942 MB...
smb/cifs and nfs are not different in that point. For both you need to use bind mounts or priviliged containers. If you don't want one of this options the best isolation and security you get from using vms instead of containers (except for stuff...
You can use the "import" content type for that, in this screenshot I have a cifs/smb share but it works the same for nfs or any other directory-like storage:
The nice thing is, that then you don't need to backup complete template vms but can...
Be careful not to break your datastores by it, at least stop the proxmox-backup systemd services so nothing writes to the datastore during the move. If you use ZFS create a snapshot of your datastore and copy it with zfs send/receive to ensure...
Thanks @guruevi and @Johannes S - It is helpful to have someone verify things I have read or thought.
I dabbled with bare metal Proxmox on a 2019 Macbook AIr which was surprisingly capable once I had gotten around the broken screen and T2...
@tauhammerhead : Ideally have these backups encrypted on the external disks and never have them both in the same place / car / aeroplane / home / office in the same moment :).
If your Macbook is still working it would be a good option for a ProxmoxBackupServer. If the data is on VM/lxcs discs a backup of the vm/lxc will backup it too. And PBS allows to sync backups between different servers, so If you happen to have...
Yes and you don't need ECC Ram see this article: https://jrs-s.net/2015/02/03/will-zfs-and-non-ecc-ram-kill-your-data/
It quotes a forum post by ZFS developer Matthew Ahrens:
Regarding whether ZFS is worth it...
The trouble with this is, that tommorow another mirror might be faster. Imho right now there is no benefit in not using the default except you happen to be in a network (e.G. your university/company/ISP) who has it's own mirror.
IIRC, Proxmox waits for the writes to actually be written to the drive (fsync, flush, that kind of thing), when it's between progress 100% and total bytes. Sounds like half of the data is still in memory if that takes as long as getting to a...
Why does any of this matter? does your use case require a specific throughput or is it just a matter of "thats what the specs say, so should the benchmarks!"
You cannot overstate this. a fast disk subsystem that can fail and take your data with...
