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.
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...
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...
I believe that physical backups are on the roadmap. But for now I work with the idea that there is not much data stored on the hosts (or the PBS servers themselves) and that they are fairly quick to rebuild from a blank image.
Our company simply images the hosts in case of emergency. (i.e...
Wow, that was simple. Didn't even need to reboot; I could see from the shell that the name updated in the Datastore menu (gui) almost immediately.
This is going to make migrating the store to another disk a lot easier.
I'm noticing the same behaviour in a 3-node cluster - that RAM count just keeps climbing until reboot (very un-linux, I know). I actually went and bought more RAM; worried I was underestimating how much RAM CEPH required.
So to be clear, over time, Linux is going to eventually use ALL (or "a...
Just adding a comment; I found this thread afraid of exactly AlfredoF experience.
II really wish there were a way to backup my PBS to disk, or to treat the store as a NAS and back that up using a whole range of tools (Datto, Synology etc.) and store offsite.
Doing a PBS->PBS sync will only...
