Is there a way in proxmox Backup Server to restore an image backup to a new machine ? I would like e.g. to restore backup vm/100 to vm/101 ? In some situations it is impoortant to keep vm/100 up and running

We are still evaluating pbs Server and begin to like it more and more. One problem ist that on some Servers e.g. mailserver or lamp server the incremental size ist unbevlievable high. An incremental after 24 hours is about 50% of the initial Backup size. But with a find-command run i find only...

I have a Mailserver with 500GB of E-Mails in 40 Mio Files in Maildir Format. When I backup the Mailserver with traditional tar/amanda it takes around 35 Minutes to do an incremental file backup the Server When I backup the server with proxmox backup client it takes hours to backup the...

Hi, how realistic is it to have a proxmox-backup-client for windows in the next months ? Is someone working on that ? Would that be an easy or complicated task ? I would like to have file Backups of windows vms in addition to image Backups.

Hi there, when running backups on vms which have qemu-guest-agent enabled the vms will regularly crash. This seems to be a well known problem with qemu guest agent which is described like this: When VM backup is invoked, Qemu agent freezes the file systems, so no single change will be made...

Hi, today i removed my former proxmox-backup-server (vm) and changed the clients to make their host-backups with proxmox-backup-client to a newly installed proxmox backup server (hardware). The Backup of the 50GB Filesystem of the client finishes in 2 Minutes. I am absolutely sure this is...

Hi, i am thinking about implementing some nagios checks for the proxmox backup server. I would like to check that the last datastore verify was successfull and not older x days Also I would like to check that the last Garbage Collection and Pruge was successfull Also maybe that the last file...

Thanks, the parameter backup-id is indeed accepted but strange things happen. When i execute a backup with: proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --backup-id "lb01.domainname" the backup is done but it is never shown in the datastore in the webinterface. Maybe the dot is an illegal character ?

I just tested proxmox-backup-client on a client named web1 and i noticed that the name of the backup in the datastore was "web1". Since I have many web1 i wonder how I could give the backup set a more descriptive name ?

Hi, i am just evaluating proxmox backup server and I am really impressed. But how can i schedule client-file backups from the server so that for example only 2 or 3 backups run at the same time ? Lets say i have 80 vms to backup and my resources like cpu or disk or network only allow for 3...

Hi, i would like to retrieve ceph read/write statistics per rbd image on my proxmox cluster. I am trying to configure the admin socket for client.libvirt like in this url http://docs.ceph.com/docs/luminous/rbd/libvirt/#configuring-ceph but I never manage to get the admin sockets created. Did...

Thanks for clarifying, you convinced me :-)

Hello, yes, I am using repos from ceph.com and for now I am not willing to change original and up to date ceph packages back to older versions compiled by proxmox staff. Also I do not see a good reason to package a custom build ceph with proxmox. This made sense before ceph released the official...

Hi there, I have a Proxmox Cluster Version 5.0.32 running ceph luminous 12.2 Now I have a problem with apt dependencies. When I try: apt-get install pve-qemu-kvm i get the error: pve-qemu-kvm : Depends: libsnappy1v5 but it is not going to be installed Okay but when i try to install...

Hi, since I updated my proxmox from 4.4 to 5.0.30 the performance counters apply/commit in the ceph gui under osd always show 0 0 instead of true values. The command line equivalent ceph osd perf shows realistic values. I have cleared brwoser cache. I am using the original ceph luminous...

Hi there, i am running ceph lumious on a proxmox 4.4 cluster and i am very satisfied with the original 12.2 ceph packages from ceph.com . Now we are planning to upgrade to proxmox 5.0. The proxmox upgrade guide explicitly says: Replace ceph.com repositories with proxmox.com ceph...

Hi List, the latency of ceph io is quite high under kvm. The guys in the ceph mailing list say latency can be improved by preloading jemalloc to kvm binary. Is there a nice and elegant way to prepend spmething LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:/usr/lib64/libjemalloc.so.1 to the kvm call in proxmox ...

Okay, now i was able to capture a trace of the pmxcfs process when dying. I think the reason for crashing is a corrupted cluster database ? I do not remember we did anything bad. We did not add or remove hosts from the cluster. The problem is since the update from proxmox 4.2 to proxmox 4.3...

We still have the issue. The daemon pmxcfs stops running randomly on our machines. We found the following more debug information: pve-cluster.service - The Proxmox VE cluster filesystem Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pve-cluster.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: signal)...

Hi there, we have the newest pve packages from pve-no-subscription installed and the newest kernels bootet. Since the last update of proxmox packages a few days ago we notoce that pve-cluster daemon stops working on different machines in our cluster. In syslogs then we finde the following...
