    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...

    Proxmox Backup Server in Proxmox?

    You can also install it on the PVE host itself alongside PVE, then you don't need LXC and can access hardware resources like disks directly

    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

    [SOLVED] right syntax for the exclude file ".pxarexclude"

    Hi, how are you planning to back up the windows VM? You can only do an image-based backup, not a file-level backup. You cannot exclude paths on a image-based backup, it just backups the entire drive because it does not know what is on that drive. For a file-level backup you need to run the...

    Can qcow2 image from another PBS be mounted on a newer one?

    Do I understand this correctly: You have a PBS VM that had a harddrive that was using qcow2 on the proxmox side. You now want to attach that image to another VM. How to do that is described here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Moving_disk_image_from_one_KVM_machine_to_another If that is not what...

    [SOLVED] PBS as a Rsync Server

    PBS is not based on rsync, it uses its own protocol for backups. What would work: Mount the directories of your NAS on a linux server and use proxmox-backup-client on that linux server to backup the mounted nas shares

    3 node test setup ceph issues

    What do you want to know from that ceph.conf? networks and keyrings are irrelevant and other than default values there isn't really a ton in there.

    3 node test setup ceph issues

    yes, 6 proxmox/ceph nodes each with 2x10G connected to redundant switches. As 25G is getting pretty cheap by now, new servers already come with 25g interfaces, we just haven't upgraded the switch yet.

    3 node test setup ceph issues

    I have a cluster for testing with three nodes and 1G links as well... And yes, performance sucks :) In production we use 2x10G and the performance is decent. Can't recommend CEPH with 1G links :D even using LACP with multiple 1G links is not fun as LACP is session based. 1G also has a higher...

    [SOLVED] Incremental backup & VM restore?

    PBS works different than most other Backup Solutions. I think the best way to put it is to say that backups are always full, but they get created in an incremental manner. The incremental part: Proxmox VE knows what parts of the drive actually changed and will only need to transfer those to...

    [SOLVED] Storage and hardware RAID

    Hi, if you don't use the iso installer and start with a fresh install of Debian 10 instead, you can partition your hardware-raid to your liking. You will just need to add the proxmox backup repository afterwards and install the proxmox-backup-server package.

    Official Terraform Provider?

    Hello, are there any plans to develop and release an official Terraform Provider so we don't have to rely on 3rd parties? If yes, that would give us more confidence in going the Proxmox Path for Kubernetes Clusters :) Cheers!

    PBS with old PVE

    The devs stated that they will not backport to 5.X versions as they are EOL anyway. You should upgrade to a more recent version :) Most of the time this can be done without a reboot anyway.

    [SOLVED] Restoring Disk to a live VM: VM doesn't recognize drive

    oh ok... that works now. I did try it with qm rescan before, it picked it up as an unused drive but once attached it didn't show up. With our current backup tool https://github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-barc we could attach a -restore in the name of the drive, do a qm rescan and attach it without...

    [SOLVED] Full backup with proxmox-backup-client

    Hi, PBS differs from the standard backup software as it does deduplication. Maybe this thread can help you understand the concept a bit better, let me know if questions remain unanswered :) https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/general-problem-of-understanding.80343/
