For ransomware protection I would simply lock down PBS with restricted ACL controls. Don't use root to access unless you have to. I've set my PVE hosts with a backup role only on PBS so it can do the usual backups but PVEs can not delete any of the VMs or modify the previous backups. You...

I use Uptime Kuma (docker) to monitor my VMs. It can send me an e-mail when the VM or host is up or down. Plus it can monitor latency, services and etc. Real easy to set up and configure.

While I agree on used server hardware just putting it out there that I am running a gaming motherboard as this one is the only one I could find that supports ECC memory for my Ryzen 9 5950X ASUS AMD AM4 ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, 2.5Gbps LAN, Dual M.2, SATA...

Yes, it does take a very long time to restore as PBS have to reassemble all the chucks. Plus at the end it does final clean up before the job ends.

I currently use ZFS with replication between the nodes on the same cluster. Normally I never experienced any issues of moving an active VM between the nodes but have to wonder is it safe to do that when a VM is running MS-SQL? Or shouldn't matter long as it's not very busy VM and captures...

Nice!! Thanks for sharing!

Maybe future update they add this in. Even it's CLI.

Been seeing failed backups due to stuck fleece snapshots from prior backup job. For now I've disabled the fleece feature in the backup option.

I am actually using HAProxy on my pfsense to handle the reverse proxy requests. Nginx Proxy Manager got way too many security issues currently.

The newest version of PBS will allow you to sync to a different local data store so you could just sync the backups to that data store with a different pruning schedule. If you're looking for a way to protect those backups from accidental deletion. I have a couple of PBS that I sync the...

It's currently on the road map to make use of PBS to backup the host's configuration files and settings. For now you have to use the scripts via cron jobs.

Wish I can mass change the entire datastor to the new owner in the PBS's WebGUI. Especially if I can do this via namespace. I can't imagine someone changing hundreds of backup groups one at a time. I'd figured a for loop script may do the trick. Get a list of your vms and cts root@pbs:/#...

Yep, that would do it. One of the reasons why I upgrade the firmware on everything via the Dell's LifeCycle tool whenever I can. I will do this again before I upgrade to PVE 8.2.x as I am currently on PVE 7.4-17 on production servers at work. I am using PVE 8.2.2 at home.

You can actually change the mode on those Mellanox Infiniband to Ethernet. You'd be paying more to have Infiniband support.

This is a known issue with major kernel updates. It's not a ProxMox thing but a Debian thing. I agree the warning of this breaking change should be pinned to the top on the what's new in PVE 8.2. There are instructions on how to pin the interface names based on mac address so it doesn't...

Yep, we're still running 7.4-17 at work in production as it's been incredibly stable. No issues. Now the dev team just released PVE 8.2.2 (congratz btw!) and was like holy cow. I'm a bit behind. I already upgraded my home lab and test PVE servers to 8.2.2 and it's been running great. Lots of...

No but if I run across one I will let you know.

Sounds like they use a PowerShell script to make the necessary changes before the VM gets imported over. There might be open source scripts out there that does the same thing.

Ya, I've used the CLI method a year ago to move several VMs over from vmware to ProxMox. All went through without issues. I was using vSAN at the time so CLI made it easy to export the vms out.

You have to create a small disk and then use that to load those drivers. It's all explained in https://support.tuxis.nl/en/knowledgebase/article/convert-windows-boot-disk-from-virtio-to-scsi Once Windows loads the virtio-scsi drivers it will get loaded whenever it encounters those disks.
