    For example: echo 'Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true";' | tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4 This works obviously only for apt; the rest of the IP stack is not affected by this.

    ZFS with HDD without Special Device? (( The difference between Sata SSD and PCIe NVMe is theoretically large. Practically it is not - in this context. The important aspect is the access time compared to the rotating spindles. Data access will...

    So the problem may be that your IPv4 setup is not... correct? Everything else works? A simple configuration for one NIC and one bridge: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_default_configuration_using_a_bridge - of course it...

    Try to use IPv4 instead, at least for troubleshooting to exclude IPv6 has problems: Run this on a root shell: apt -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update && apt -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true -d -y full-upgrade

    UdoB replied to the thread Question on PBS setup and hardware.
    Seems so. One can build a backup system in any way - if it works (reliably, on the long run), it is probably fine :-)

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Question on PBS setup and hardware with Like Like.
    PBS doesn't need much resources (see https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/installation.html#recommended-server-system-requirements ) so you can easily use a used mini-pc. You can get them for around 100-200 € here. I would recommend to get one with a...

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Message "No valid subscriptions" with Like Like.
    Well you could also think that it's bargain for enterprise environments that it's enough to have a support subscription for all your PBS and PVE nodes to have PDM without the nag and access to the enterprise repo instead of having to pay for PDM...

    Naja, das Argument mit den Ressourcen bezieht sich ja nicht so sehr auf den Stromverbrauch (wäre auch echt albern) sondern den RAM. Der einer VM zugewiesene RAM kann halt nicht anders genutzt werden, da sind lxcs tatsächlich flexibler. Nur bin...

    UdoB replied to the thread update advice.
    There is extensive documentation available: https://pbs.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_3_to_4 If there are no specific reasons against it, I would follow that doc.

    UdoB replied to the thread Question on PBS setup and hardware.
    You are questioning my words that PBS "wants IOPS"? That's... surprising! "Backup storage: Prefer fast storage that delivers high IOPS for random IO workloads; use only enterprise SSDs for best results." --...

    Yes, that's possible. Please be aware that there may be some surprises hidden in this "absolute minimum"-approach: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/

    UdoB replied to the thread Question on PBS setup and hardware.
    Yes, it works. I said "suboptimal". For me this means that some potential is wasted - for one or another reason. In this case we know that PBS wants IOPS. For me this means that the best results require direct hardware access to fast storage...

    No :) The used technology (Qemu) allows to "freeze" a machine and make a (temporary) snapshot. After this is done - which takes only a few seconds - the VM will continue to do whatever it is meant to do. Then the actual backup starts. Of course...

    Setup proxmox backup server on separate hardware. Minimal requirements, old quad-core laptop with 4-8GB RAM and 1-2TB SSD. Advantage: dedup. There are other features, but that's the killer one. You should be able to accomplish this for under $100...

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Replacing a Datastore HDD with Like Like.
    The best course of Action would propably be to get an external USB enclosure, install one of the discs in it and add it as removable datastore. Afterwards create a syncc-job to sync the backups from one disc to the other. Personally I would put...
