    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    WAN Which is what basically happens now already. I don't know how this would help the service being able to start. That is definitely not the case, but the Upload might be a bottleneck. First one I am doing already, second one is not really an option, since I don't want to take the...

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    Not sure if I can follow what you mean. PBS is not slow, but PVE there is. HPEproliant microserver gen 10 with two SSDs in mirror plus a very slow copper upload connection.

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    Yes, since the backup is at 01:00. I think that the system gets shut down for backup, boots up again and then for some reasons these two services won't start.

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    PS: Both errors are about a connection timeout (45s) to the service. And both services are not running, even thought the are in autostart mode.

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    Still suffering from this issue on 9.1.5 and 0.1.271. I am not sure if the Windows Server SQL problem is related or not. The DB load is pretty low (only real load is probably for backup dumps), but coincidently or not it is mostly the VM running the DB that is suffering from that issue. Found...

    Do you need to shutdown VMs to backup them with stop mode?

    Ahh, so it is only there to know what it needs to backup, to get a backup from the shutdown state, without the changes that happened to the disk during the backup. So maybe on ZFS it would theoretically also be possible to create a snapshot and do a backup of that snapshot, while the VM is...

    Do you need to shutdown VMs to backup them with stop mode?

    but apparently also in stop mode. As seen by my output logs from stop mode. Sure it might not get used or used in a differently way, but it seams like it at least gets created?

    How to Reduce SSD Wearout in Proxmox?

    Watch out when doing PBS backups with that setting. If I remember correctly, PBS makes use of that. To get back to your initial question "How to reduce wear out" the correct answer IMHO would be: Don't worry! Others here recommended PLP drives, but in reality most workloads are perfectly fine...

    Do you need to shutdown VMs to backup them with stop mode?

    That is what I thought, but I am not sure if this is entirely correct. In the logs you can see this, no matter if the VM was running or not, when using stop mode: INFO: scsi0: dirty-bitmap status: created new So there is some dirty-bitmap that gets created. How that is used? I have no idea and...

    how to enable concurrent pbs backups?

    Someone else has to chime in. I simply assume it is not possible, since there is no option in the gui or cli or anything written in the docs about concurrent backups AFAIK. IO workers is, well about IO workers (webGUI shows me default of 16 for me), not about how many backup task can run...

    Do you need to shutdown VMs to backup them with stop mode?

    Do you need to shutdown VMs to backup them with stop mode? Or is it needlessly loosing uptime by doing so? Here is how I used to think it works: I thought it does not matter if the VM is running or not. In both cases the VM will be shutdown, a complete backup taken, during that the VM will be...

    how to enable concurrent pbs backups?

    AFAIK that is not possible. That is about IO workers, not about how many VMs are backed up simultaneously. Why would you want to do multiple backups at the same time anyway? If you have a performance bottleneck, running multiple backups at the same time would make it even worse.

    Langsame 4k Performance in Windows 11 VM

    Ist das immer noch RAIDZ1? Was bekommst du denn auf PVE direkt raus, wenn du PVE benchmarkst? Sowas in die Richtung: fio --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --sync=1 --rw=write --bs=4K --numjobs=1 --iodepth=1 --runtime=60 --time_based --name seq_read --filename=/path to pool

    Whole disk backup every time on stopped VM

    Like others already said, by default it reads everything. The money quote line is this one: 107: 2026-02-28 21:00:07 INFO: scsi0: dirty-bitmap status: created new Since the VM is not running and/or you have the stop backup mode, it can't make use of the dirty-bitmap and has to read the whole...

    Proxmox für 500-1000 VMs

    Ohh, danke, das war mir nicht bewusst. Das auslesen und hashen der kompletten Disk. Habe ich eine 1TB disk und möchte ein inkrementelles Backup machen mit Windows Server Sicherung, TimeMachine oder ZFS send geschieht dies sehr schnell und ohne CPU Last. Wer das erwartet von PBS, wie der User...

    Proxmox für 500-1000 VMs

    Inkrementell würde ich PBS nicht bezeichnen. Jedenfalls nicht was die Leute traditionell verstehen unter inkrementell (VSS oder ZFS send). Ja, den hash mit einer lokalen hashtable zu vergleichen spart einiges an Übertragung, aber wenn die VM einen reboot hatte (was bei Windows ja noch häufig...

    Storage for small clusters, any good solutions?

    Let's assume that you have an application that runs on a Linux VM. That application is mission critical to you and your business. Now you could setup the hypervisor and network and storage and so on to be HA, which in return makes your VM HA. If a node goes down, another node will take over the...

    Storage for small clusters, any good solutions?

    That is the money quote. But IMHO even more important, in many, many cases, making the server HA was the wrong approach to begin with. Making the application itself HA would be way cheaper, offer way better performance, less complex, and easier for maintenance.

    SSD ZFS Pool keeps increasing in usage space

    No worries. IMHO the IT world is complicated enough. So I like to keep stuff K.I.S.S. In your situation I would either A: change RAIDZ to a 3 way mirror, get another TrueNAS system with HDDs as ZFS storage system and put files on NFS/SMB shares from there. B: Add a few HDDs to your Proxmox...
