I had a similar incident today. I had no second PVE to migrate it to, so I simply stopped and started the VM (I guess restart wouldn't work) and it generated a new certificate.

@fabian - thank you! That nugget of information saved the day for me, as I was banging my head against a wall trying to use multiple --exclude options. Should these not be clearly explained in the Backup Client Usage page?

Finally got to the bottom of this... Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol's smartcard redirection. I was accessing the VMs over RDP, which interferes with the guest as it tries to redirect the client smartcard to the guest (regardless of whether it's enabled on the client or not). By accessing...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just tried that on Windows 10 & 11, but unfortunately, it didn't help.

I've a YubiKey 5 NFC which I'm trying to USB pass-through to a Windows (tried 10 & 11) guest on my Proxmox VE 7.1-7 instance. The device shows up in Windows' Device Manager, but the Windows YubiKey configuration tool (YubiKey Manager) tells me that it "Failed connecting to the YubiKey. Make...

Apologies for wasting people's time. This turned out to be an Ansible issue, or more specifically, the Ansible operator (me). A typo in my playbook meant that the script wasn't being run as root.

Good spot! I'm was only using playbooks. Running Ansible directly as you did also worked for me. I've now got to work out why it works in Ansible, but not in Ansible playbooks. My plan is to use a playbook to clone a cloud-init VM and configure it. The cloned VM has a minimal 2G SCSI disk...

I'm not sure if this is an Ansible, or a Proxmox question, but I've got to start somewhere... I can create and/or clone a QEMU VM in Proxmox using Ansible's community.general.proxmox_kvm module. However, that module's documentation specifically states that it cannot resize a disk. I therefore...

I finally got to the bottom of this... The CA signed certificate I used was signed by an internal CA, whose Root CA certificate needs to be (and was) added to PVE's trust-anchor store (update-ca-certificates etc.). However, I failed to notice that the .crt file I added to...

I've done some more digging and this seems related to the fact that I added a CA signed certificate to the failing PBS by replacing /etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.pem (and proxy.key if applicable). Replacing this with a self-signed one generated by proxmox-backup-manager cert update (after first...

I've just installed PBS on two physical servers to test. All VMs and containers back up fine to one. However, unprivileged containers fail to backup to the 2nd PBS (VMs and privileged containers backup fine). Both PBS installs were on top of a base Debian OS. The failing backups always show...
