yes, but we all do....:-) If you really want to try the drivers, feel free to do so...but i really advise you to have a backup of the server ready...

@Almost: As long as it is still 0.1-52 i guess the problem still persists. I reccomend not to use it! @spirit: Did you already fire up your ftp? Sascha

great! Thank you! Sascha

Well, but wouldn't that mean, that the tape will just fill up and stop getting backups as soon as it's full? Thank you Sascha

Hi! Yes i know, but as there's not enough space on my local RAID to store more than one backup simultanously, i was thinking of a possibility to store more than one backup file on the tape. This being my backup to tape script #!/bin/bash TAPE=/dev/st0 echo "Start Time: `date +'%Y-%m-%d %T'`"...

After reading these answers and finally knowing i am not alone, i can only advise everybody not to use these drivers! Maybe the last working iso should never be replaced by a newer one, but still be available for some time... Sascha

ok, i see, but is there any way to hold more than one backup file on the tape before deleting the oldest backup?

Hi! Yes i have the latest KVM shipped witth Proxmox running: pveversion -v pve-manager: 2.2-32 (pve-manager/2.2/3089a616) running kernel: 2.6.32-17-pve proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 2.2-83 pve-kernel-2.6.32-16-pve: 2.6.32-82 pve-kernel-2.6.32-17-pve: 2.6.32-83 lvm2: 2.02.95-1pve2 clvm...

Hi all! Anyone else also experiencing severe problems with the block drivers in this iso and a windows 2003 SBS guest? I get a BSOD (0x07) as soon as i try to install a block device with this driver. Even after using only IDE again after rebooting, the guest will behave rather unstable then...

Hi, my backups work pretty fine so far, but i was still wondering, if there is a way to hold more than one backup file before deleting the oldest backup. If anyone has an idea, i would love to try. Also, as there's not enough space on my Harddisk-RAID to store more than one backup, it wouldn't...

Hi! Doesn't work... after erase, still the same problem... once again...this is what i do: #!/bin/bash TAPE=/dev/st0 echo "Start Time: `date +'%Y-%m-%d %T'`" mt -f $TAPE defcompression 1 mt -f $TAPE rewind cd /usr/local/backup/daily/dump/ tar -b 256 -cvf $TAPE ./vzdump*.gz echo "Start writing...

No, still not working... Are you sure that taring with -b 256 is the right thing to do? Maybe that's the problem: tar -tvf /dev/nst0 tar: /dev/nst0: Cannot read: Cannot allocate memory tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now then i tried: tar -b...

Hi Udo, I tried with mt -f /dev/nst0 weof for now, which is a bit faster! :-) Now copying data again...if that doesn't help, i will give full erase a try! Wich Backup software would you hint me to under Linux / Debian? I find bacula a little overweight for what i want... But of course some...

Not yet, sorry: mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1 tar tvf /dev/nst0 tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors Is there a way to somply reset the whole tape, and start over? Maybe that is the problem? Thanks again Sascha

Hi Udo, many thanks for your help! Unfortunately: tar -tvf /dev/st0 tar: /dev/st0: Cannot read: Cannot allocate memory tar: At beginning of tape, quitting now tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Oct 10 15:01:51 proxmox1 kernel: st0: Failed to read 131072 byte block with 10240 byte transfer.

Ok we're getting somewhere here! :-) i thought I'd rather user st0 instead of nst0 just because it'll overwriter the last file. So the tape should never get to full with data, that was the idea. The customer will then change the tape everyday, having 7 tapes in total. With tar -b 256 -cvf...

So i tried to copy my vzdump-snapshots to tape with: #!/bin/bash TAPE=/dev/st0 echo "Start Time: `date +'%Y-%m-%d %T'`" mt -f $TAPE defcompression 1 mt -f $TAPE rewind cd /usr/local/backup/daily/dump/ tar -cf $TAPE ./vzdump*.gz echo "Start writing Tape:`date +'%Y-%m-%d %T'`." echo "Stop writing...

Oh i see, i thought i could just add it as an iSCSI-Storage to Proxmox VE and then backup to it directly... But that is not possible then? I will have a look at bacula then, any other hints, what software i could use? Basically i would just want to copy everydays vzdumps to the tapes then...

Hi! I have an LTO-5 SAS Tapedrive here that i would like to use for daily snapshot backups. Only i don't really know how to enbind it correctly into a proxmox ve 2.1 host. Any ideas? Thank you Sascha

Yes we have tried clonezilla before, but it didnt copy any data unfortunately. Clonezilla created the partition with the right parameters, but then just finished without copying anything else. I guess it could have something to do with the source raid configuration, but am not sure. So as an...
