Thank you for the replies. I have spare server so will give Raid10 a try. Which storage to use with raid 10 setup. Is that still LVM thin ?

I read the link. I have a similar setup to Leonardo with mirrored consumer grade ssd on lsi hw raid with bbu using lvm thin. To clarify I would get better performance and/or security if I switched the raid to jbod and used zfs ? Thanks

I followed this guide https://www.nicksherlock.com/2020/06/installing-macos-big-sur-on-proxmox/

I also got myself in a muddle with this problem and backups got mixed up. I archive various guest as they have the development environment used to develop my application. I backup a guest as an archive then update the environment. However I get everything mixed up. Now I take a backup then use...

I have archived a virtual machine which has been launched for a couple of months and on start I get "A disk read error has occurred. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart" This is on boot. I've restored the backup from PBS which only took a few seconds. So that is strange as its a large image. The disk...

In case anyone else this confused by this. Following these instructions to upgrade from v1 to v2 using the shell in the web browser. You may encounter the screen below. This is very confusing. If you scroll down using the browser scrollbar to the bottom and there is an option Q to quit. If you...

I also found this aspect confusing. I was trying to use PBS as both a backup solution and an archive for some PVE guests where I'm saving an entire development environment. So I make a backup of a guest I'm no longer using and then I delete the VM from PVE. However creating new guests I now have...

I have a clean install of PBS with 2 * 1Tb Mirror raid. I realise HDD are not optimal but this is a small home network and backups are mainly archive. However the install has used up all space on the first 1Tb mirror as lvm. This would appear to be a lot of wasted space. Is it possible to...

Clean install today of version 7 on server with 6*ssd and 128gb ram. I have a large 127GB windows qcow2 file which is too big to upload via sftp into the local ext4 storage. Therefore I have mounted an NFS share from my Windows server. Mounted the nfs data store and I am running qm importdisk...

Thank you.

I have read the documentation and I am assuming that the prune settings ie keep last 5 apply per guest vm and not the total number of backups on the data store. It might be an idea to put this in the documentation. Can somebody confirm. Thank you Paul

Thanks for reply, Cant use PBS 2 as based upon bullseye and no megaraid cli drivers ready yet ? https://github.com/eLvErDe/hwraid/issues

Hello, this is a fresh install of version 1-1-1 I set up a data store on the first volume lvm as a test with path lvremove /backup/disk1/store1 And ran a test backup. I would now like to delete the data store as this was a test and I didn't want it on the OS volume so I ran...

Thanks, I will test it first. That functionality is very useful.

Hello, I have a working setup of PVE6 and PBS 1. I'm trying to establish if we can use PBS as an archive for virtual machines we are no longer using in the live environment. So we backup the PVE guest to PBS then delete from live system. The primary reason for doing this is to free up storage...

unzip the download ova file convert the vdmk to qcow2 (I use starwind for this) create new VM for linux make note of id eg 104 upload to /var/lib/vz/images/ use qm import somethink like qm importdisk 104 /var/lib/vz/images/discourse.qcow2 tosh-thinpool depending on storage qm rescan then attach...

NO Machine works well for Macos Guests.

Did you manage to get this working where pbs server has a single disk (1TB). I am testing on spare machine and cannot add datastore as dont have unused disk to create a directory. I just did defualt install ? Thanks

I have been moving some legacy Windows virtual machines from hyper V. I convert the vhdx to qcow2 and import the disc to the dir backup storage. Here is my config. dir: local path /var/lib/vz content iso,vztmpl,images shared 0 lvmthin: local-lvm thinpool data vgname pve...
