    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

    Size on special device for metadata cache

    Whoops I did mess up when looking in our wiki, it was 0.02. you will use less when you have less files on the system, but since PBS tries to hit 4MiB files you will have quite the amount of metadata.

    Size on special device for metadata cache

    After using ZFS in a lot of scenarios we developed a rule of thumb of a 0.02 ratio for the special device. So per 1TB if storage 20gb of special device. This alignes with what @fabian uses + some safety headroom.

    [SOLVED] Deduplication?

    ZFS only works as long as you have access to a block device. If you are using NFS or other network file systems you are once again limited by this. I don't really see a disadvantage with PBS doing deduplication itself, it keeps it a lot more flexible.

    [SOLVED] Slow Backup-Speed - find the Bottleneck

    One thing you should check (probably not the cause of the issue but wouldn't hurt) is if you have the AES flag set for the PBS VM. In Hardware -> CPU -> Advanced you should be able to enable hardware acceleration for AES. This will improve your score on the encryption benchmark. Since PBS is...

    Importing PV of a mapped (readonly) Backup Disk Image on its original VM

    @Lapointemar as stated in the forum post you linked there is a "neater" way to do this with proxmox-backup-client. Both ways will expose the backup as a block device, this does not change the behaviour of LVM.

    [SOLVED] Is there a way to make verification more efficient?

    Hi, the new feature of delaying verifications if done in the last X days got me thinking a bit about how verification works and if there would be a better approach to it. Here are a couple of question the devs could maybe answer :) AFAIK verification checks what kind of chunks should be in a...

    Importing PV of a mapped (readonly) Backup Disk Image on its original VM

    Hello, I wanted to map a disk backup to the machine it originated from. On the disk are some partitions with LVM. This brings two issues with it: The PV UUID is the same The PV does not like beeing /dev/loop0pX and would rather be /dev/sdaX which it was before the restore Usually you would...
