I got many of the following error messages on the weekend: 2020-12-19T23:08:31+01:00: starting new backup reader datastore 'pbs-backup': "/pbs-backup" 2020-12-19T23:08:31+01:00: protocol upgrade done 2020-12-19T23:08:31+01:00: GET /download 2020-12-19T23:08:31+01:00: download...

Thanks. That worked. After that I could export the removable disk pool. And thanks that you are planing to have some kind of enable/disable or export/import datastore function.

Thanks for your information. How would I do that precisely? service proxmox-backup-proxy restart && service proxmox-backup restart? Tried the first command but it nothing happening. Cursor stalling in pbs console webinterface.

I would like to know the correct way to remove a removable (external usb disk) datastore from PBS correctly. After removing it by proxmox-backup-manager datastore remove datapool I cannot export the pool. zpool export poolname umount: /poolname: target is busy. cannot unmount '/poolname': umount...

I did not have the time to test yet. But it seems possible and there was a link provided with an example. Did you try?

Thanks a lot for your information. I'll try.

Great. Thanks for your info.

I am testing PBS and it runs pretty fine! Thanks for this great peace of software :) I have a question on encryption though. On my initial attempt to create encrypted backup, and restore it on another node, that would not work. I could only restore it on the same node. Is it possible to have...

Is it possible to browse and selectively restore files or folders from a vmdisk backup? I am asking as sometimes we would need to restore only some files or folders. Or would we need to restore / clone the whole vm, boot it and copy from there? If possible - would you mind point me to the right...

Ah, ok I see. So I scheduled the prune task every half an hour in order to trigger a pruning job, and will then see if it works as intended, to finally set the prune job accordingly. Thanks for your clarification. I'll report back if it worked.

Tried again, but it does not prune anything away: 2020-12-09T11:47:53+01:00: Removed garbage: 0 B 2020-12-09T11:47:53+01:00: Removed chunks: 0 2020-12-09T11:47:53+01:00: Original data usage: 178.84 TiB 2020-12-09T11:47:53+01:00: On-Disk usage: 1.22 TiB (0.68%) 2020-12-09T11:47:53+01:00: On-Disk...

I did not schedule it yet, as I just run it manually for testing. Following the Log from the GC job which did not remove anything: https://pastebin.com/SkAhNRf1 Dry run: https://pastebin.com/Lx4huDTW The dry run indicates to do as expected. I'll try to run gc again from gui and report back...

I have seen this, and thus configured as described according to what I have seen in the simulator. Nevertheless I see that if I go back one week, there are still kept 9 backups a day and I don't understand why.

We do monday to friday 9 backups à day. I want to keep all backups for a week, then one per day for the next three weeks before, then one monthly for a year , and one yearly for 10 years. Thus I configured: hourly 45 day 5 week 4 month 12 year 10 I would have expected that after pruning & gc...

It is likely as you said that the default blocksize of 8k is used as I don't even know how to change or set it. So is that the answer of the initial question? Is it recommended to leave as is for my raidz1 datapool for pbs, or is there any recomandation on re-creating the pool with a different...

Thanks for your posts guys. How can I check if the raidz data pool was created with good settings? I would like to optimize the datapool - even if necessary to recreate it to waste the least possiblew size. The pbs server has 4 x 500 GB disks. I created a small partition for pbs installation...

Hi Wolfgang, although i have much to do, I already did a quick search before posting, but maybe my search terms were not adaequate. Would you mind sharing a link? I would be very thankfull.

I have created a raidz1 pool for the pbs-backup datastore. On pbs - Storage / zfs the size shown is 1.77 TB but on the summary page of the datastore the size is only 1.24 TB. Why is there such a difference and will zfs allocate more space / expand the pool when it gets full (929 GB used atm). Or...

In the meantime - what are be the correct steps to correctly remove the removable usb disk? Is it sufficient to proxmox-backup-manager datastore remove datapool and have a second datastore.cfg for the next time I'll attach the removable datastore? Or should I do zpool export removable-pool...
