Has anything been figured out on this issue? I'm dealing with a similar situation. I'm directly connected with no tunneling and getting around .80MiB/s. The slowest link in this connection is the download speed at the remote site, which is a theoretical 5MiB/s Thanks, Daniel

I posted the procedure I used to do this here... https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/moved-datastore-to-remote-pbs-server-via-zfs-pool-split.76711/

Thanks! Glad I didn't try changing this first.

Looking at the /backupPool/pbs/store it still has owner and group set to backup after changing the owner in the GUI. Should I go and manually change those on the file system? Thanks, Daniel

Thanks Hannes. I have turned atime off. But I will turn it back on for BPS.

Hi Hannes, So do I need atime turned on for the datastorage pool? Or do I need it turned on for the original storage that is being backed up? Also, does anyone know what kind of performance hit you get with atime turned on? Thanks, Daniel

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know about the method I used to seed the Datastore on a remote Server. Overview of setup 1. Local Server has 2 ZFS Datapools - Data Pool (dpool) and the Backup Pool (bpool) 2. bpool is made up of a mirrored pair of drives. 3. The BPS datastore is on...

Thanks for the advice. I actually went a different route, limiting access to a specific IP address through the firewall.

Hi Everyone, I've done a lot of searching on the forum for this answer. But nothing quite matches what I THINK I want to do. Here's my basic setup now Local Proxmox Host with PBS running on Proxmox (NOT as a VM) | Local PfSense Firewall (NOT On Proxmox) | Internet | Remote PfSense...

Hello, I'm reading in the documentation that Garbage Collection uses atime with file touching to not delete any chunks from the last 24 Hours. If the underlying zpool has atime turned off will this be problem for garbage collection? I would imagine this would be a concern for most people as...

I think you are right. Just figured it was worth getting the official word on it. Considering the amount of data we would have to re-backup.

Hello, For our business, right now is a really good time to update our Backup process. We really would like to use PBS. We understand it's in Beta, and we are ok with that. We are concerned how stable the storage format and layout for backups is? In other words, if we use the Beta version of...

Sure thing. Just to get you started. Read about the split command and the import command in the zpool man page. That explains the basics of what I'm going to do. I'll post again, once I've got this accomplished.

Hello, Here's a scenario I'm wondering if it will work. Off-Site PBS Server running as a VM on Proxmox Has a ZFS Pool used for the PBS Storage On-Site PBS Server running as a VM on Proxmox Can the off-site PBS backup the local Proxmox VM's and the off-site Proxmox VM's to the same ZFS Pool...

Thanks for the info. I'm already setup with a zfs backup pool on location using pve-zsync. I was actually in the planning stages of doing the pool split for a remote backup using zfs send. So for me the pool split is pretty simple.

Would it be a good idea to do a PBS backup to a mirrored ZFS pool. Then split the pool, take it to the remote server. Add that split pool to the remote server with zpool import. Then make that the datastore for future remote sync jobs?

I made a mistake. The Backup schedule starts an hour later, that's why it ends an hour later. :oops: Just in case anyone else looks at this thread. I did change the Controller to VirtIO SCSI Single and change each hard drive to IO Threading. When you reboot windows you have to make all Drives...

It's Windows Server Backup running inside the VM to another Virtual Hard Drive attached to the same guest.

Thanks for the quick answer. It is on the host. The guest is essentially a new version of an old 2008R2 server. The IO Delay happens during a disk backup inside the Guest. The New Guest with Server 2019 takes an additional hour to finish the process compared to the old 2008R2 guest. I was...

Hello, I've created a Windows Server 2019 guest with multiple drives. When doing a disk intensive operation it is causing a lot of IO Delay. When I created the Guest I did not set the SCSI Controller to Single. Is it possible to change it to SCSI Single and IO Thread for each drive without...
