    Confusion around restoring backups to a new server

    @Dunuin ah I see, so manual method it is... would be good to see more of this kind of migration tooling brought into the web gui eventually, and have it done more automagically.. but that's alright no complaints from me.

    Confusion around restoring backups to a new server

    It seems obvious enough when the backup was created from an active server. Simply go into the backup and hit restore. However what about a system where I have created a backup, backed up all my VMs, de-commissioned and replaced the active server, then wish to restore to the new server from the...

    Common hardware in use for small home PBS installations?

    I ended up getting a new build for this... tried to go a second hand unit but didn't work for my purposes. Only downside to going for a consumer unit is I didn't get ECC, but if all else fails then the offsite will be recoverable. BOM: - Gigabyte A320M-S2H mobo - Antec VSK3000/U3 mini tower -...

    A storage backup

    Yeh true. I hazard a guess that storage will be attached by default. Anyway as it turns out, because this storage is attached to a TrueNAS instance it was backed up as well. That's a happy accident for me, but I can already see where ppl will want to detach those kinds of data pools from the...

    A storage backup

    Ah dangit... ok cool, tbh I was just thinking it's probably CLI only for the moment. Is it safe to assume this will be added eventually?

    A storage backup

    It seems I can only make a backup for VMs inside PBS? I'm sure I have missed something here... If I add the PBS in PVE, then create a backup job, it only allows me to select VMs. However, I have an entirely separate storage system with files etc that needs backing up. See as follows: How...

    [SOLVED] 401 Unauthorized - Trying to connect PBS to proxmox node

    For me I had to add the DataBackup permissions to the pbs server and then also use that root@pam for the username in the backup. I get why this was designed like this but you need to make it WAY more obvious in the gui... this info doesn't seem to be in the quick start or any decent tut I've...

    ProxMox on RISC-V Questions

    Yeh it's pretty awesome. The other thing happening is the power-pc notebook. Very cool stuff, I think they are up to prototype stage last I checked. I mean half the die size represents so much more than space saving... ppl never think about this for edge tech, but somewhere it means something...

    Exactly my concerns... So... dedicated hardware it is!

    ProxMox on RISC-V Questions

    Totally agree but also good to know that of course you are watching development! It would be amazing if PM found itself in a position to also support PPC in future, as it too is making a small comeback :D

    Common hardware in use for small home PBS installations?

    Hmmmm yeh ok cool.... coz I've got a Gigabyte Mz72-HBO on the way for virtualization and I'm wondering if I actually need an external machine for backup. I could just as easily pack the SATA ports and run PBS inside another VM, which would make file backup laser quick (which now that I think...

    Common hardware in use for small home PBS installations?

    Curious to find out from the community what hardware ppl are using for their home backups. Aware of the system reqs, but curious if anyone has PBS installed on NAS hardware like Synology or a cheaper QNAP? Alternatives I'm considering are just banging together a small ITX and letting that handle.

    VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)

    Please excuse my ignorance, I'm quite new to this game, but could we not achieve this whole VDI-centric infra with tools like Puppet and Ansible? Is that already happening?

    Failed when trying to start a VM

    For anyone else who find this issue, the option is in the Hardware window of the machine. Double click the "Hard Disk (ideX)" option and in the top-right drop-down marked "Cache" select "Write Back"

    Brilliant! Was that somewhere in the Arch docs? I couldn't find anything at all.

    How to export a VM or Container as an OVA image file?

    Can you provide some insight as to why such an open standard is not supported in proxmox? From where I'm standing it should absolutely be supported, utilities at the least should be available for subscription members. Yes, I would pay for this feature.

    Sound on vm

    Have since tried using SPICE as advised and connecting with spice-gtk from Arch Linux to Arch Linux VM. Still nothing. This is advice that comes from your own documentation and still does not work.

    Sound on vm

    I have tried these instructions: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_audio_device by adding a device in the interface. I have also tried adding this to my linux vm and rebooting: To fix this pulseaudio issue with Linux guests need to add: /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf...

    Seconded how do we add audio for Linux machines that are accessed over RDP?
