    vzdump script for specific backup job possible?

    I'm trying to find the simplest method to backup a few VM's to my Google Drive. I found the hook script https://github.com/TheRealAlexV/proxmox-vzbackup-rclone that utilizes rclone. Seems doable. But the thing I can't figure out is if it's possible to only call this script for a specific...

    Windows VM requires lots of ram to trim larger hard disks

    I'm glad you were able to reproduce it that makes me feel a little better. I have a quite a bit of data on that disk (bit over half full) so that might also require more memory for defrag to process. It must be an interaction with the proxmox virtual disk driver and windows defrager, as I have...

    Windows VM requires lots of ram to trim larger hard disks

    oh, I see. Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try, might set it up as a scheduled task if it works well.

    Windows VM requires lots of ram to trim larger hard disks

    That doesn't look like a tool that would trim to reclaim free space for a thin provisioned disk, that looks like a secure way to erase free space to prevent recovery. While a nice tool that I wasn't aware of, I don't think that will accomplish the same thing as disk optimizations trim function...

    Windows VM requires lots of ram to trim larger hard disks

    oh i see. i was just letting windows defrag do the optimization/trim that's what is chewing all the memory and erroring out. See error below. The storage optimizer couldn't complete slab consolidation on Storage (D:) because: Not enough memory resources are available to complete this...

    Windows VM requires lots of ram to trim larger hard disks

    Thanks for the reply attaching a screenshot of the config. I'm not sure what you are referencing with the Secure file delete vs sdelete, that might be something I'm not aware of. Is that a setting in proxmox or in the VM OS?

    Windows VM requires lots of ram to trim larger hard disks

    Not sure if this is a bug, setting, or limitation. I'm on the latest version of proxmox, with the latest version of the virtio drivers installed, I have a windows 10 vm with a 1TB hard disk attached. I have it set as an SSD with trim enabled. The issues arises when windows actually tries to...

    Can't remove source disk after move.

    the 'qm rescan --vmid <VMID>' thankfully discovered the disks and allowed me to remove the disks. Here is one of the move outputs for reference I omitted all the percentage ticks in the middle. Not sure why it thought it removed the disk but didn't, or why it didn't automatically show it as...

    Can't remove source disk after move.

    PVE 7.0-10 was upgrading one of my RAID arrays on my single node. I dropped in a secondary drive and migrated my VM's to that "Temp" drive, upgraded RAID, migrated my VM's to the new array. I used the "remove from source" checkbox to keep from doing manual cleanup of unused disks afterwards...

    Struggling to add backup disk...

    I'm such an idiot.... I missed a step, I created the partition but never created the file system. I needed to run mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1.

    Struggling to add backup disk...

    I love Proxmox I rarely have any issue with anything. But adding a new physical disk and getting it mounted might be the most frustrating thing I've ever done. I blame linux for this more than proxmox. Long story short I keep an 8TB drive locally in my proxmox host for local backups. That...
