    backup vm pve to pbs, how to enable incremental

    A backup solution which is not able to do fast incremental backups for unchanged and switched of VMs (the safest method), is not really a good solution. There should be a solution.

    what is the best monitor tool for proxmox ?

    1) This is irreleveant to me (and many other). It will run on one server 99% of the time. If I decide to migrate, there is no problem having some 30 seconds of interruption. Everyone can decide on its own how to use it. 2) The described solution uses Docker which is a container and not a VM...

    what is the best monitor tool for proxmox ?

    First: Can docker be installed in proxmox without any problems for the proxmox virtualization? Second: I want to install it in a proxmox container (and replicate this to the others servers). When one server fails, I can still start the container on another instance. This is by no means worse...

    Proxmox Backup Server and Client

    It needs another separate server which has several disadvantages. Why not extend the existing replication mechanismen to be able to retain old versions based on a plan like znapzend? This would combine backup with availablility. Then at any point it would be possible to: 1) Have a perfect...

    Improvement: Reduce migration downtime to seconds with two step transfer

    Yes, I am talking about container migration. With VMs the migration is now live but with container migration there is an unnesseary extended downtime, because the container is shutdown at the START of the migration instead of keeping it running unteil 99% of the data has been transferred. With...

    Improvement: Reduce migration downtime to seconds with two step transfer

    The suggestion was just the very simple change to always migrate in two steps no matter if there is a replication or not. The effect would be nearly the same, as if you would use the manual workaround: 1) Create a replication job by hand. 2) Start replicate it and wait until is it finished. 3)...

    Improvement: Reduce migration downtime to seconds with two step transfer

    The near online migration of a running container could be drastically improved. Currently the actions are 1) Shutdown locally 2) Migrate volume 3) Startup remote The data replication could take some time (minutes or hours) in which the container is down. A very simple but drastic improvement...
