Hello, I wanted to restore a single disk and attach it to a running VM (ID 117). To accomplish this, I restored the VM the disk was attached to to a completly new VM (ID 118). Then I followed the instructions on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Moving_disk_image_from_one_KVM_machine_to_another to...

This is intended and to be expected, the fingerprint is the fingerprint of the certificate used (either self-signed or the one you copied over). You only need to specify the fingerprint in backup clients if the certificate is self-signed, thats the only way to make sure this certificate is...

Thank you for your observations, that is really not a lot of special device usage... awesome!

Is it 5% or 0.5% now? :D

exactly :D

Well when you remove the backup it will only delete the chunks that are not in use by any of the following backups. Lets break this down a bit more... the drive you backup will be splitted into many thousands of 4MiB chunks that are named after their checksum. You can see those in...

Hi LachCraft, PBS is not incremental in the traditional way you probably expect. It is deduplicating and based on chunks... lets give an example: During the first backup it creates Chunks 1, 2, 3 and 4. The next backup that happens the next day only Chunks 1, 2 and 3 are existent, data that was...

other distros are currently on the Roadmap. There is a community-maintained AUR for Arch, for others you would have to compile it yourself for now. Since PBS uses deduplication... how would you define the size of a VM? For example: You have 10 machines that all use the same 4.19.0-11-amd64...

Hallo, ich wollte eine Liste aller VMs auf einer Node haben (ohne ls /etc/pve/qemu-server | cut -d. -f1) und laut API Doku sollte man mit pvesh get /nodes/{node}/qemu besagten Output erhalten. Nach etwa einer Minute Wartezeit erhalte ich ein proxy handler failed: ssh: connect to host 0.0.0.2...

File level backup is already avaible via the proxmox-backup-client and has been for a long time. Don’t know about windows though

Sshuttle (while being awesome) is notoriously slow. You might consider using a „real“ VPN like wireguard, those should achieve more throughout.

If you backup via PVE just the virtual disks PVE knows about get backed up, not any disks that were mounted inside the VM (like passthrough of a HBA or NFS shares) If you want to back up those as well you could do that by using the proxmox-backup-client inside the VM; it can back up all...

Hi, you can mount the NFS share in Linux and then create a datastore pointing to that directory. I‘m not quite sure what your second question is, PBS integrated into PVE saves all machines you selected in the backup job as long as the VMs disks have the backup flag set (which is default)

You would need to use the proxmox-backup-client inside the VM itself which is currently only avaible for Linux.

Check this thread on why your 2nd wish wont come true ;) https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/status-logging-diagnostics.78795

Hey, when you make a Disk image you can't view its content... how would you? PBS doesn't know what filesystems or other things hide on that drive. The PXAR Browser only works when you make pxar backups aka file-level backups

:+1: for an option at the VM leveln in PVE to disable fsfreeze during snapshots

You could probably do a backup, boot a VM from a live iso and restore everything to your new disk. It might be easier to install a VM with the bare OS from scratch and then rsync everything over with rsync -aAXv --numeric-ids...

Yes that is possible. Make sure you don't run PBS as a VM on the same PVE though ;) might get tricky when PVE dies and you can't restore.

PBS can use basically whatever filesystem you throw at it. XFS, EXT, NFS, SMB, ZFS, ... The deduplication isn’t done by the storage backend but by the software itself. this means you can definitly go with a „normal“ raid and EXT4 for example. You should be able to use ZFS as well, most raid...
