PBS is not based on rsync, it uses its own protocol for backups. What would work: Mount the directories of your NAS on a linux server and use proxmox-backup-client on that linux server to backup the mounted nas shares

the nodes just have one mon addr in our case

What do you want to know from that ceph.conf? networks and keyrings are irrelevant and other than default values there isn't really a ton in there.

yes, 6 proxmox/ceph nodes each with 2x10G connected to redundant switches. As 25G is getting pretty cheap by now, new servers already come with 25g interfaces, we just haven't upgraded the switch yet.

I have a cluster for testing with three nodes and 1G links as well... And yes, performance sucks :) In production we use 2x10G and the performance is decent. Can't recommend CEPH with 1G links :D even using LACP with multiple 1G links is not fun as LACP is session based. 1G also has a higher...

PBS works different than most other Backup Solutions. I think the best way to put it is to say that backups are always full, but they get created in an incremental manner. The incremental part: Proxmox VE knows what parts of the drive actually changed and will only need to transfer those to...

That's awesome! Thank you very much

Hi, if you don't use the iso installer and start with a fresh install of Debian 10 instead, you can partition your hardware-raid to your liking. You will just need to add the proxmox backup repository afterwards and install the proxmox-backup-server package.

Hello, are there any plans to develop and release an official Terraform Provider so we don't have to rely on 3rd parties? If yes, that would give us more confidence in going the Proxmox Path for Kubernetes Clusters :) Cheers!

The devs stated that they will not backport to 5.X versions as they are EOL anyway. You should upgrade to a more recent version :) Most of the time this can be done without a reboot anyway.

oh ok... that works now. I did try it with qm rescan before, it picked it up as an unused drive but once attached it didn't show up. With our current backup tool https://github.com/Corsinvest/cv4pve-barc we could attach a -restore in the name of the drive, do a qm rescan and attach it without...

Hi, PBS differs from the standard backup software as it does deduplication. Maybe this thread can help you understand the concept a bit better, let me know if questions remain unanswered :) https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/general-problem-of-understanding.80343/

Hello, I wanted to restore a single disk and attach it to a running VM (ID 117). To accomplish this, I restored the VM the disk was attached to to a completly new VM (ID 118). Then I followed the instructions on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Moving_disk_image_from_one_KVM_machine_to_another to...

This is intended and to be expected, the fingerprint is the fingerprint of the certificate used (either self-signed or the one you copied over). You only need to specify the fingerprint in backup clients if the certificate is self-signed, thats the only way to make sure this certificate is...

Thank you for your observations, that is really not a lot of special device usage... awesome!

Is it 5% or 0.5% now? :D

exactly :D

Well when you remove the backup it will only delete the chunks that are not in use by any of the following backups. Lets break this down a bit more... the drive you backup will be splitted into many thousands of 4MiB chunks that are named after their checksum. You can see those in...

Hi LachCraft, PBS is not incremental in the traditional way you probably expect. It is deduplicating and based on chunks... lets give an example: During the first backup it creates Chunks 1, 2, 3 and 4. The next backup that happens the next day only Chunks 1, 2 and 3 are existent, data that was...

other distros are currently on the Roadmap. There is a community-maintained AUR for Arch, for others you would have to compile it yourself for now. Since PBS uses deduplication... how would you define the size of a VM? For example: You have 10 machines that all use the same 4.19.0-11-amd64...
