Hi all, We've (finally) got a long-term storage, centralised, last resort PBS where all the other PBS go and dump their backups into. I want to add a Read-only account of which every cluster will have a token of, so that in case of a disaster recovery process, I can restore backups from this...

Hi Bbgeek17, This is planned, this forum post is mainly so that the poor soul finding themselves in the same spot has a workaround.

Hi all, A bit of a weird one here, leaving this here in case anyone finds themselves in the same boat as we did. Colleague installed a VEEAM backup on a clean installation of Windows Server 2019, wanted to add a Dell DD6400 Data domain as a repository. This was already working on another VEEAM...

Yes, that's the idea. A complete corosync should in theory never happen, but I've learned in this line of work that you don't say "If it happens" but "when it happens". So testing out in the lab is the best way to prepare for unplanned network dissasembly at 4am on a saturday :D

Well, this didn't last long, as the watchdogs did their job... The whole thing rebooted and decided it wanted to behave again. Cluster is now up and running again. Weird behaviour, though I kind of expected it before unplugging the whole thing.

Hey all, Currently testing CEPH and Proxmox HA on a multi datacenter configuration (with black fiber, so sub ms latency.) I tried to recreate the worst scenario possible : what if all nodes lose the corosync layer? This should never happen, but that's what the lab is for. I'm using Proxmox...

Alright, so sadly I gave up, created a remote of, well, myself, and that worked out great. Cheers

None. The error you see in my screenshot is me trying to access an old decom. remote accidentally.

Hello, I can see the HTTP 200 "datastore" request to the API : The datastore is there just fine, but nothing in the GUI. No error either in the console or in /var/log/api/access.log

Hey all, I'm trying to clone some backups to a new datastore the "good" way (using local sync instead of copying files and forgetting to chown them). However, I can't seem to select the source datastore : The source datastore menu is empty, and I can't select anything. Permission wise, my...

Alright, looks like a layer 8 issue. Basically, I had copied the VM backups from the root namespace into another namespace to restore said VM into a different environment. However, I had failed to chown the folder to my backup user, resulting in this : (I'm putting the blame on the post...

Not the same one as before but the same group. 2024-01-25T00:24:57+01:00: percentage done: 77.98% (36/47 groups, 48/74 snapshots in group #37) 2024-01-25T00:24:57+01:00: verify hello-pbs2:vm/9020/2023-11-24T22:50:23Z 2024-01-25T00:24:57+01:00: check qemu-server.conf.blob...

Hey, Nothing in the journal I can spot : root@heyhey-PBS2:~# journalctl --since "2024-01-25 00:20:00" --until "2024-01-25 00:30:00" Jan 25 00:21:43 heyhey-PBS2 proxmox-backup-[170817]: heyhey-PBS2 proxmox-backup-proxy[170817]: write rrd data back to disk Jan 25 00:21:43 heyhey-PBS2...

I'm the only one accessing this PBS, so that shouldn't be an issue. Any way to filter out journalctl? Its spammed by running backups every few minutes.

cli-verif is the cli command, the other file is the task log from the GUI

Hey all, I'm seeing a weird behaviour on one of my PBS node. The GUI verify job which should run every day has been failing for a few days now. Upon further investigation, the verify job is trying to verify a non-existent (probably pruned) backup : (datastore name has been censored but isn't...

To be fair the main bottleneck in our current setup is definitely the PBS. If, one day, the main bottleneck is the network, I'll be a happy man. Dell public prices are dumb. They get better if you have a business relationship with them, but they still get you on the ram and storage. Reckon we...

We do indeed have dark fibers between each DC. Its a 10G loop except for DC4 which has 500M. I believe there's a misunderstanding here. This is my fault, and I haven't precise enough. The backup size I stated earlier is on disk size. Nightly volume is between 100G to 200G. This doesn't make...

I'd very much like help on this, as my experience with ZFS never left the homelab. I agree with you that hardware raid is bad. Furthermore, I'd also like to use ZFS, but I need a solid understanding of it first, so I can be sure that when a drive eventually dies, either me or someone else with...

Alright, thanks for your input. I'm going to reassess and consider using "tiering" for my PBSs : SSD only "Primary" PBSs for short & medium term backups, and RAID6 HDD only PBSs for long-term storage. This might not be the most optimal way of doing it, but it sure is going to be much better than...
