Yes, I agree entirely, I think it is a combination of PBS install on top of debian via APT / and some unwanted interaction that happens when ifupdown2 gets added into mix. I'm not even convinced that ifupdown2 is 'really mandatory' so much as 'nicer in theory'. ie, my semi-insane manual...

Hi, for what it is worth. I have been using PBS with ~5 small client deployments in the last few months. Generally speaking once I get past any 'installer time' hiccough, there is zero problem. I don't 'lose access' and it does not 'misbehave' once it is installed-and-working-smoothly. I...

Thanks for the quick, clear, detailed reply. Greatly appreciated. I do appreciate onsite vs offsite will have impact on the recovery/data transit times. In this use case we don't have any desire for a 'cluster' proxmox to span (onsite box/es) (and offsite). Rather the offsite is being...

Hi, I have a "small fun" question I am trying to understand. I've reviewed the docs and I am a bit unclear so wanted to ask. So far I have Proxmox Backup Server Setup a few times now and working very nicely in simple use case, ie, one proxmox host one PBS server weekly incremental backups from...

Hi, I would suggest, provision a new clean LXC Container from a vanilla / stock template. See if problem persists there. Try to isolate issues / make a positive vs negative control / see if problem appears to be at proxmox level vs guest level. etc. just a thought. is what I would try next..

Hi, if the containers are LXC based in stock config, they will have a MAC address, which should be visible if you drill into the 'networking' category of the LXC Container of the webUI. I believe the default behaviour is that restore-from-backup will NOT change the MAC address / randomize to...

Footnote on this thread, I poked at it again today and appear to have found a bit of a workaround, it feels like a kludge but anyhow, alive and working is better than not-alive-and-not-working, at least for now. basic endgame. start with clean deb10 VM provided from hosting provider get vnc...

Footnote, I banged my head against this for a while this morning, reinstalled my VM and started over a few times. First pass I noted my debian sources file lacked the 'contrib' stanza on each line; so I added that. (which is recommended in the PBS install hints). Did not change anything. I...

Hi, the VM has static assigned IP in most recent case. I think the physical box I was setting up a few weeks ago was DHCP.

Hi, I wanted to post on this thread because it seems directly relevant. I've setup ~3 x PBS servers in the last 2 months and I think I am seeing the same problem. General trend: - one case it was a dedicated physical host, debian10 minimal install on SW Raid / local mirror of 2 x 6tb drives...

Sorry, not to be too pointed, but .. for clarity. my point is that if you are a newbie, you don't want a system that is too complex to manage yourself so you would be better off building a solution you can manage so for similar reason proxmox authors do not have an easy way to install...

If you are trying to set this up, I would suggest (a) either you have expertise to manage it, and therefore set it up. Or, if not (b) Go with something simpler to setup that you can manage more painlessly. ie, added complexity is only marginally better in certain cases, maybe, and even...

Hi, small note to just give bit of feedback to forum / team. I just finished using my first test setup with (proxmox latest) and (proxmox backup server). So far I am extremely happy with how it all works. The setup is very standard kind of stuff, ie, (a) Physical host is a standard OVH...

Wow! This is a big deal / great news! Just to see if I understand correctly the deployment scenario, -- dedicated host runs this Backup Server. Expected use case might be a dedicated server (physical hardware) which has lots of / suitable local storage. Optionally it sounds like network...

Little followup note, in case this might help anyone else out. I think I might have figured it out. Google search for keywords took me to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/428001/update-initramfs-hangs-on-debian-stretch where it seemed like a good idea to try this: Building the new...

Hi, yes, I realize mdraid is not supported by the proxmox team in any way. I guess I was more posting to the forum, in case some other non-proxmox-team-person who also uses it, has seen this before. or alternately, at a more general scope (nothing to do with MDraid) - if anyone had ever seen...

Brief ping followup, I am guessing based on the feedback (ie, none) that I will proceed with the plan-B solution to this (ie, backup, nuke, restore). Woot.

Hi, I have a small weird problem, wondering if anyone has seen this. Proxmox 6.x host running on a stock template install on OVH environment (SW raid 2x2tb config which OVH provide and I've used many times before without issue). Normally when I do updates on such an environment, I do apt-get...

Hi, for backups, take a look here, https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore there is a lot of detail how to trigger backup events via CLI. Various command-line options you can designate. Controls on limits, preferred compression, target storage, etc. For copy-paste in the console. I...

Hi, glad my reply was some entertainment value :-) so, a few high level thoughts. -- gig ether, it is not unusual to see less-than-perfect performance. 100-120Mb/sec is kind of 'best case scenario theoretical maximum' and getting around 50Mb/s is about what I might expect normally for a VM...
