I know the thread has been solved, but for future reference, for use cases as those of @metaenlace, there is a less convoluted way. Datastores themselves have sync jobs as well. The "pull" type allows syncing local storage: The result is the same of course, but without the need of adding...

Hi LnxBil, Thanks for your input. Over which interface is your LTO3 connected? I am sure my old fashioned SCSI2-connected (LTO3) drive did work. It is with these two SAS-connected drives (LTO3/LTO4) that I get this error. I overlooked troubleshooting the tape explicitly. I recall trying to...

Es gibt schon viele Links in der Konversation, erlaub mich ungefragt einen Link zum WiFi-seite der Wiki zu posten (es gibt ein paar Dinge zu beachten, zB, keine Bridges)

Seeing there has not been a reply, would anyone chime in to tell whether they are successfully running LTO3 or LTO4 tape drives, and over which interface they are connected to the system?

Hi verderame, Good you were able to fix the problem. In case you can recall, it would be nice for future readers of this thread to find how you were able to solve the problem. As for the runtime of the backup process, do I understand the infra correctly? Two machines are involved One RPi...

Hi aKoR, I have no reply to your question as to why the testmail succeeds while the real notification mail does not come through. Perhaps the test only has plain text, while the notification has an URL to documentation for troubleshooting or details. In that case, Microsoft may guess that this...

Hi verderame, The warning in your task log is not about Samba. Are you familiar with LVM, and then especially thin volumes? As you have "New Member" as status and "new to backing up" in your post, I'll elaborate. Thin volumes allow to create a storage device of certain size without at the...

Hi all, I have a container backed on a mediaset of five LTO3 tapes (tape0-tape4). The fifth tape now returns an error. I am aware that LTO3 is not officially supported, but in practice things use to turn out quite well. This is the log of the task: 2025-05-31T22:34:14+02:00: update media...

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...
