Doh ! you are correct, I measured the NIC throughput with iftop in MB/s mode and the rate was around 30MB/s when it should have dropped to 5MB/s as the only network traffic were the backups.

Once again thank you proxmox team for and excellent product and all your hard work. I am trying to implement a global traffic limit on my primary pbs server using pbs traffic control and moving away from wondershaper. I turned off wonder shaper and setup a pbs traffic control rule at 5MB/s to...

For win/guest folders you simply share out the folder at a CIFS/SMB share and mount it on PBS using linux SMB mounts, works like a charm

Does the pxar list/mount etc work, as it seems very useful. Thanks

Thanks, I am restoring using the proxmox-backup-client, does pxar command work and how about the fuse mount option(s) >

The PBS manual talks about <archive>.pxar archive as if its a file. I cannot find such files so must assume that the <archive>.pxar 'archive' is a collection of chunks created within the destination datastore that the pxar command line tool creates when backing up filesystem data. Can anyone...

Thanks a lot, that is very helpful

Does anyone know if PMG will act as a store and forward server if the destination SMTP server is down, say for maintenance ? thanks

Was this for a physical system or a VM. And thank you for your insights

I need to limit the speed to of the backups so I will not saturate my networks both local and remote, anyone have any suggestions ? Thanks

That is what I thought I understood from the docs, but I have been tainted by other backup systems that have a separate dedup database

I have just been reading the manual on the dedup functionality, and it looks like the hashing algorithm ‘ generates’ the uniq chunks and then indexes them, so reconstruction of the data from the chunks can be done with just the data store of chunks and the indexes. ( and a pbs server) Do you...

Tom, how does PBS backup the dedup database, as I am concerned about my backup server failing, and hence restorations from catastrophic single site failure. (offsite backups to come later, in various forms) Thanks for your time and attention

Can anyone please tell me how the dedup database/data is backed up, as without it all backups become unusable correct ? Thanks for your time and attention

Fixes the problem, thanks again

I have not had any issues when performing backups, its only during the restore operations that I encounter issues.

So here is what I have learned about this issue. I have observed that when performing restores to and SSD drive if the aggregate restore bandwith is higher than 10MB/s then the restore process will corrupt the disk images of other vms. So I only every restore 1 VM at a maximum of 10MB/s, and...

Yes, using a full vm is the route I have taken, as I do not want to give up snapshots. Thanks for all the advice and replies. David

I have a specific application that runs within docker thats needs a type of low level filesystem support, d_word I think it was, and zfs FS will not support his but instaling the LXC container into a ZVOL would allow me to install ext4 inside the zvol as part of the 'container vm'

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can install and LXC container into a ZFS zvol? Thanks
