    [SOLVED] Can't mount backup

    This is what a command could look like: proxmox-backup-client map vm/117/2021-01-04T03:00:55Z drive-scsi0.img --repository root@pam@localhost:8007:store02 The <snapshot> is vm/117/2021-01-04T03:00:55Z, the <archive-name> is drive-scsi0.img which is how your disk in the VM is called. You can...

    [SOLVED] Owner backup failure user@pbs != root@pam

    Yes you can do that. The datastore just points to a directory. I don't know how exactly you set up your first datastore. Is it zfs? if yes, you can just create another dataset on that zpool and point a datastore to it. If it is something else, you will have to see if you can create another...

    [SOLVED] Owner backup failure user@pbs != root@pam

    Both PVE Storages are pointed at the same PBS Datastore. When the Backup was first created, it was created with the user root@pam (because you did the backup to the PBS storage). When you want to create another backup to the UserPBS storage, it detects there already is a backup on that datastore...

    Resetting network settings to default

    Well if your Server has no internet connection because the network settings are wrong, you need to find a way to access your Server without Internet. Depending on where that server is set up, there are a couple of different ways to do this. One would be to take a monitor and keyboard and walk...

    [SOLVED] Datastore usage.

    Can't test it here as I have my datastores on different zpools, but does the webinterface not show the per-datastore disk usage?

    [SOLVED] Datastore usage.

    When you have your datastore on a seperate partition you can use the df -h command. Either way you can just take a look in the PBS Webinterface, click on the datastore and see the usage there

    PBS and btrfs

    As long as the file system supports basic POSIX features every file system should work. BTRFS is POSIX.

    Scripted export of latest Backup image file possible ?

    another idea that crossed my mind: you can use the proxmox-backup-client map functionality to mount disks from the backup. When you do this, you could dd them to a file. can be automated, but probably not the prettiest option

    [SOLVED] dirty/new bitmaps

    When backing up the data is split into 4MiB "chunks". These chunks are named after their checksum. It also creates an index file with all the chunks used in that backup. When it calculated the checksum of a chunk it wants to back up, it gets the indexes of backups it should know of (can't get...

    [SOLVED] dirty/new bitmaps

    Even if the bitmaps are discarded because you stopped the qemu process it will only transfer chunks that changed and won't use your precious bandwith for unnecessary transfers. The process takes longer but does not use more bandwith.

    scheduled directory backups on PBS

    This is the perfect task for cronjobs. Cronjobs are scripts that run in intervals you define yourself. Retention is currently configured on a per-datastore basis. You'd need to create another datastore with different retention times. Then create a backup job that only backs up this directory to...

    It will transfer the delta so you get the same data on both PBS instances with as little network traffic as possible

    Prune by date needed

    I have been looking for a similar option as well, but haven't found anything built-in yet. The workaround is writing a script for that, but thats not really the clean way of doing it. So +1 from me for a feature request ;)

    Copy backups to external drive

    Hi, the easiest way of doing that would be to create a Sync Job to a Remote (that is not actually a remote, let me explain). You can do offsite-copies to other PBS Servers with the "Sync Job" feature for datastores. In this case we want to sync not to a different PBS server, but to our same...

    [SOLVED] Determining PCIe Devices

    Single-file restore and LVM

    Hi, this has already been brought up, so far only "normal" file systems like ext and I think even ntfs have been implemented. They are working on support for volume managers like lvm and zfs, should be avaible SoonTM
