After contemplating whether to send my reply or not, I realized you can ignore it if you don't like it ;-) Reading: your (first) server has been running for a couple of weeks you joined yesterday you don't seem very comfortable yet either using Linux or (formatting helps on) forums you will...

Things you could try: Remove the security exception from your browser, so it can allow you to add the exception. Perhaps something got 'stuck' Try another browser (a Chromium based one if you usually use Firefox, or the other way around; they deal with those exceptions in a bit different ways)...

Hi Petr, Welcome to the forums! The output shows that PVE presents a self-signed certificate. Did you get a Letsencrypt certificate earlier? Perhaps the renewal failed. Do you connect in your browser by hostname/FQDN, or by IP as shown in your cURL output? Using IP should give you the...

Hi CitizenOfPluto, Welcome to the forums! Can you point to a source for that? In a not-PVE-specific context, ie, for LVM in general: some modifications of your LVM setup require free 'extends'. In case of managing your storage through the webinterface, you don't have the granularity to...

As @UdoB and @Johannes S write: "Do what you feel comfortable with, there are many options" PVE and PBS run on 'plain Debian', making all features available that Debian provides. Another possible option with iSCSI and LVM could be: configure to use iSCSI storage from your NAS use the iSCSI...

I did use PBS to backup a Windows laptop for a while, but never came to testing the backups or needing to restore. The device was in use temporarily, I currently have only Linux/BSD clients to backup so have to cite from memory. The files in the backup are browsable just as well as your regular...

I remember having a permissions error once in the middle of a backup process, where, I think, there was a mismatch between the owner of the backup job and the owner of the storage media. It's a different situation than yours, but it might give you inspiration in one direction or another. Good...

Hi Chris, Thank you, this solution will do!

Hi all, I have an external PBX for remote backup. At the moment the web interface is accessible via the Internet. I have SSH access via public key for root and disabled password access. Of course root now can not log in via the web interface, which is the way I like it as long it is on the...

Hi Linux.Dizzy, Welcome to the forums (and to Linux) ! If I recall correctly, the Android-app is discontinued in favour of making the web interface suitable for mobile devices. Partly to spend resources only once, partly because the iFolks were left in the cold with Apple not allowing...

Hi wxh98, Did you ever solve your problem? I couldn't remember how (or if) I ever uploaded an image for an ISO, but now I needed to and couldn't figure out how. After I added a storage type that accepts ISO images, I did not have any trouble uploading an image. In trying to help you out, I do...

Hi Fabian, Thanks for your reply and for moving the thread! Sorry I was not able to reply any sooner. I ended rebooting the server later that day; upon returning, I learned that the manual verification I was waiting for had long since finished, but in the mean time the re-verification of...

Hi all, (Excuse me, this was supposed to go into the PBS subforum) Is there a way to estimate / extrapolate runtime of backup actions, or guess whether it finished or is still running? My PBS runs on low end hardware (4TB@7.2k spinning SAS, non-RAID, with LVM cache on SSD, quadcore Atom D525...

Hi SaintsIIV, Welcome to the forums! The VM has space allocated to it. Whether or not it is used inside of the VM is not visible outside of the VM.

Nice you got through the migrations! Did the issue resolve itself, or did you have to change some settings to get networking and CIFS to work?
