    Resetting network settings to default

    Well if your Server has no internet connection because the network settings are wrong, you need to find a way to access your Server without Internet. Depending on where that server is set up, there are a couple of different ways to do this. One would be to take a monitor and keyboard and walk...

    [SOLVED] Datastore usage.

    Can't test it here as I have my datastores on different zpools, but does the webinterface not show the per-datastore disk usage?

    You are in the Proxmox Backup Server Forum and are probably talking about Proxmox Virtual Environment, I suggest moving your question to that forum to recieve help

    [SOLVED] Datastore usage.

    When you have your datastore on a seperate partition you can use the df -h command. Either way you can just take a look in the PBS Webinterface, click on the datastore and see the usage there

    PBS and btrfs

    As long as the file system supports basic POSIX features every file system should work. BTRFS is POSIX.

    Scripted export of latest Backup image file possible ?

    another idea that crossed my mind: you can use the proxmox-backup-client map functionality to mount disks from the backup. When you do this, you could dd them to a file. can be automated, but probably not the prettiest option

    [SOLVED] dirty/new bitmaps

    When backing up the data is split into 4MiB "chunks". These chunks are named after their checksum. It also creates an index file with all the chunks used in that backup. When it calculated the checksum of a chunk it wants to back up, it gets the indexes of backups it should know of (can't get...

    [SOLVED] dirty/new bitmaps

    Even if the bitmaps are discarded because you stopped the qemu process it will only transfer chunks that changed and won't use your precious bandwith for unnecessary transfers. The process takes longer but does not use more bandwith.

    scheduled directory backups on PBS

    This is the perfect task for cronjobs. Cronjobs are scripts that run in intervals you define yourself. Retention is currently configured on a per-datastore basis. You'd need to create another datastore with different retention times. Then create a backup job that only backs up this directory to...

    Prune by date needed

    I have been looking for a similar option as well, but haven't found anything built-in yet. The workaround is writing a script for that, but thats not really the clean way of doing it. So +1 from me for a feature request ;)

    Copy backups to external drive

    Hi, the easiest way of doing that would be to create a Sync Job to a Remote (that is not actually a remote, let me explain). You can do offsite-copies to other PBS Servers with the "Sync Job" feature for datastores. In this case we want to sync not to a different PBS server, but to our same...

    Single-file restore and LVM

    Hi, this has already been brought up, so far only "normal" file systems like ext and I think even ntfs have been implemented. They are working on support for volume managers like lvm and zfs, should be avaible SoonTM

    [SOLVED] right syntax for the exclude file ".pxarexclude"

    Hi, how are you planning to back up the windows VM? You can only do an image-based backup, not a file-level backup. You cannot exclude paths on a image-based backup, it just backups the entire drive because it does not know what is on that drive. For a file-level backup you need to run the...

    Can qcow2 image from another PBS be mounted on a newer one?

    Do I understand this correctly: You have a PBS VM that had a harddrive that was using qcow2 on the proxmox side. You now want to attach that image to another VM. How to do that is described here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Moving_disk_image_from_one_KVM_machine_to_another If that is not what...
