    In guido9's defense : his reason to start the thread was not to ask how he could convince rsync not to pick up (data-wise) unchanged backups, but, as a new user, asking whether he overlooked the option to skip unchanged VMs and containers. I'm...

    Thanks both for elaborating!

    wbk reacted to .n3's post in the thread What do you think of my backup strategy? with Like Like.
    Acutally I'm using the PVE nativ backups and therefore I don't need PBS. I need a PC for my offsite backup. A PI will work, but I want to work with external storage etc. I bought a used mini pc. Now I can install PBS Offsite. So I can use PBS to...

    wbk reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread What do you think of my backup strategy? with Like Like.
    A VPS like the ones by contabo, netcup or hetzner ;) I host my offsite PBS that way but the costs of bucks/GB means that they are not really suited for large amount of data (at least with my budget) compared to some cloud storage so I mean as an...

    wbk replied to the thread Error during 6.8.12-20 Update.
    By coincidence I had the same update waiting for me; it ran without a hitch. Free space certainly does not seem a problem on your system. Have you tried re-running apt upgrade, or have it explicitly install proxmox-kernel?

    Hi guido9, In addition to UdoB's suggestion, I notice you are a new member. Have you looked into PBS, the backup component of Proxmox? It would not directly enable what you ask (ie, skipping unchanged containers/VMs), but it would serve the...

    wbk replied to the thread Error during 6.8.12-20 Update.
    Hi dehidding, Jumping in, making it worse and then repairing is a good way to learn a lot ;-) Just as a sanity check: does the directory exist? How much free space does /boot have? Did it remove your current kernel? # uname -a # ls /boot/* #...

    @.n3 , sorry for hijacking your thread ;-) @Johannes S : I'm somewhat in the same boat, allow me to ask for clarification a) What do you mean with cloud vserver? Not the linux-vserver project I suppose ;-) but rather a 'fluid' cloud-based...

    wbk replied to the thread MCP posted for PBS.
    Hi szoran, With this, you can allow an MCP-compatible AI process access to your PBS and have it advice you on which actions to take? Or does allow you to tell the AI that you want at least 5 backups over the last six months, and have it handle...

    Hi .n3, Looks solid to me, given the hardware. From a data recovery perspective, it is better to have one disk at two locations than mirror at a single location, just like you propose. I'm not familiar with syncoid. Have you looked into the...

    Hello, I had a request to upload my backup checker tool, and it is now available on github. It is a linux dotnet tool to check to make sure that your backups are up to date and not going stale. It was only written/tested for my particular...

    Should I post this question in the PVE subforum, rather than in PBS?

    Hi Deerom, So far I've been avoiding TPM, so I had to look up the Proxmox reference; https://host:8006/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_tpm is what this involves, correct? So, only one out of many hosts has this problem? Silly question, does the...

    Hi wla, Welcome to the forums! I have no similar setup to experience the issue, but I do have additional questions: Is the move performed over the management network in both cases? Does the failure persist when running a degraded bond, ie...

    wbk replied to the thread Weird Error on Fresh Install.
    Welcome, and nice system for testing! To gauge how to provide further support, have you used Linux before?

    ... and observe your traffic being decrypted by Cloudflare, removing the encryption and security provided by your own certificate. Is this really what you want?

    Hi NoLine, You'll be copying over the data, but reusing the configuration? Only connection data, or also storage layout? I went through a similar exercise recently, but ended up with only the hostname preserved. Less than ideal, but re-adding...

    Hi 33335, Is this in a tape robot that prints barcodes by itself, or do I misunderstand your question? I only have plain drives and print labels by myself. I'm not sure whether I explicitly formatted tapes and what the behaviour was. I used...

    Hi all, I created an NFS file server with the container on SSD and the data on HDD. This way the container is somewhat snappy, with the HDD providing bulk. Using bind mounts, I face difficulties backing up the complete container including...

    Hi Viper_Prime, I don't think I can help you, but I can show what it is on my side. Do you mean the integrated web-console, or the popup NoVNC/xterm.js On my systems I don't rely on them, sometimes they don't give output for me and when...
