Fou Aha, found it. I hadn't realized that it was in sources.list.d/ceph.list, my bad. Thanks.

WHAT!!! I am running Quincy just fine on my V7/Ceph cluster, but the upgrade to 8 fails still. I do NOT have a Ceph repo as this is the first time I've even heard about one, Can you add a link to those instructions please; nothing I've read before now has suggested this as a requirement.

OK, it's pretty easy to script. I had chatbot write up a quick BASH loop that iterates over a 'machines.txt' (could easily be automated too) and runs the proxmox-backup-client change-owner command. Might be a nice thing to have in the GUI unless devs know better.

Lol, yeah. ChatBot thinks so too; he even lies and invents the seeming obvious command. Gotta give it credit for trying, I suppose. ;-) root@pbs3:~# proxmox-backup-manager datastore change-owner --datastore main_store --new-owner user@pam Error: no such command 'change-owner' Usage...

Not an expert but I use a 3-server, 9-disk proxmox/ceph cluster. I back this to PBS1 which syncs to PBS2 (offsite). So all VMs and CTs are covered. But what about yourProxmox servers with all the PVE/Ceph/Certs? I think one good answer which might stay true to "The Proxmox Way" is be to...

Can we mark this solved? I stopped by to suggest that his account doesn't have permissions to press that button.

To be clear though, you can backup your MS SQL server hourly to PBS. Just schedule an hourly backup job and it's done. No windows client required. I backup my Windows server daily and it is no different than my dozens of Linux servers.

Ah. Thank you for the confirmation.

I think it would be unwise to treat your PBS as a "cobbled-together" samba file server. PBS is for backing up Proxmox PVE containers and vms. It could be done, but you have no idea of the unintended consequences that could arise on the next upgrade.

Right. Two options: Create a share on any one of your VMs or CTs and do the SQL dump to there. It will be backed up by PBS as usual. Just do a Snapshot backup of your SQL server - it captures all of the ram/temp files. I was once a MSSQL Certified Database Admin and Developer - so I...

I have added a second mount point to my samba container and it is working fine. I can see it in the /resources view of PVE GUI but it is not in the /summary view. Is this the expected behaviour? Ideally I 'd like to see it's status at a glance in the gui.

Are you saying that you have a backup system (not Proxmox) running inside of your Windows server - i.e. HyperV - and you want THAT to have somewhere to backup to? Seems a very bad idea, but in case this is your scenario, you could spin up a Samba server on a PVE Container outside of your...

And that's it? No further configuration is required in Proxmox?

I didn't ASK anything. I came to HELP someone in need of assistance. Your grumpy responses help nobody. Anyhow, let's end this here please.

Background: Having my cluster on UTC means that Debian is choosing the .nl time servers. In Check_MK, I see that these checks sometimes don't happen for up to two hours (alerts at 35 minutes without NTP check). Rather than change the factory PVE settings, I prefer to either adjust monitoring...
