    General problem of understanding

    Well when you remove the backup it will only delete the chunks that are not in use by any of the following backups. Lets break this down a bit more... the drive you backup will be splitted into many thousands of 4MiB chunks that are named after their checksum. You can see those in...

    General problem of understanding

    Hi LachCraft, PBS is not incremental in the traditional way you probably expect. It is deduplicating and based on chunks... lets give an example: During the first backup it creates Chunks 1, 2, 3 and 4. The next backup that happens the next day only Chunks 1, 2 and 3 are existent, data that was...

    Global Questions

    other distros are currently on the Roadmap. There is a community-maintained AUR for Arch, for others you would have to compile it yourself for now. Since PBS uses deduplication... how would you define the size of a VM? For example: You have 10 machines that all use the same 4.19.0-11-amd64...

    [SOLVED] Inkonsitentes Verhalten bei pvesh get /nodes/02/qemu/...

    Hallo, ich wollte eine Liste aller VMs auf einer Node haben (ohne ls /etc/pve/qemu-server | cut -d. -f1) und laut API Doku sollte man mit pvesh get /nodes/{node}/qemu besagten Output erhalten. Nach etwa einer Minute Wartezeit erhalte ich ein proxy handler failed: ssh: connect to host 0.0.0.2...

    Proxmox Backup Server 1.0 (stable)

    File level backup is already avaible via the proxmox-backup-client and has been for a long time. Don’t know about windows though

    Remote sync very slow (0,4 MiB/s)

    Sshuttle (while being awesome) is notoriously slow. You might consider using a „real“ VPN like wireguard, those should achieve more throughout.

    [SOLVED] PBS add NFS Storage

    If you backup via PVE just the virtual disks PVE knows about get backed up, not any disks that were mounted inside the VM (like passthrough of a HBA or NFS shares) If you want to back up those as well you could do that by using the proxmox-backup-client inside the VM; it can back up all...

    [SOLVED] PBS add NFS Storage

    Hi, you can mount the NFS share in Linux and then create a datastore pointing to that directory. I‘m not quite sure what your second question is, PBS integrated into PVE saves all machines you selected in the backup job as long as the VMs disks have the backup flag set (which is default)

    PXAR BROWSER

    You would need to use the proxmox-backup-client inside the VM itself which is currently only avaible for Linux.

    My wishlist for pbs.

    Check this thread on why your 2nd wish wont come true ;) https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/status-logging-diagnostics.78795

    PXAR BROWSER

    Hey, when you make a Disk image you can't view its content... how would you? PBS doesn't know what filesystems or other things hide on that drive. The PXAR Browser only works when you make pxar backups aka file-level backups

    VM Crashes during backups when using qemu-guest-agent

    :+1: for an option at the VM leveln in PVE to disable fsfreeze during snapshots

    Proxmox backup of physical server and restore to vm

    You could probably do a backup, boot a VM from a live iso and restore everything to your new disk. It might be easier to install a VM with the bare OS from scratch and then rsync everything over with rsync -aAXv --numeric-ids...

    Backup PVE root (ZFS)?

    Yes that is possible. Make sure you don't run PBS as a VM on the same PVE though ;) might get tricky when PVE dies and you can't restore.

    Hardware to use / ZFS implications

    PBS can use basically whatever filesystem you throw at it. XFS, EXT, NFS, SMB, ZFS, ... The deduplication isn’t done by the storage backend but by the software itself. this means you can definitly go with a „normal“ raid and EXT4 for example. You should be able to use ZFS as well, most raid...

    one template will not backup

    It tries to start the VM And this fails, can you start it by hand and will it start in that case?

    Proxmox Backup Server 1.0 (stable)

    I can totally understand the price asked and I think it is justified with what tom said. 6 sockets and you are at that price. For personal projects it is indeed too steep, but for business it is actually quite reasonable, not to say cheap. Hard to find a middle ground here, but I think this is...

    [SOLVED] API Documentation

    Hello, looking through the forum and the included documentation I wasn't able to find any references to the API documentation. For PVE this page exists: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer is there something similar for PBS?

    Proxmox Backup Server 1.0 (stable)

    That is possible, you can specify a path to where the datastore is. You will probably get better results with local storage than with NFS though. Usually faster :)

    Proxmox Backup Server 1.0 (stable)

    What an exciting day! Congratulations on your new Product! Currently preparing to move all of our PVE setups to PBS :) Oh and I found a typo on the site https://proxmox.com/en/proxmox-backup-server under "Enterprise Support": Proxmox Backup ServeR. Can I have a cookie for that one? :D
