    [SOLVED] Pricing for PBS Support Subscriptions

    Hello, are the prices for PBS Support Subscriptions already published? Couldn't find any information about them. Will it be similar to PVE?

    [SOLVED] Deduplication?

    ZFS only works as long as you have access to a block device. If you are using NFS or other network file systems you are once again limited by this. I don't really see a disadvantage with PBS doing deduplication itself, it keeps it a lot more flexible.

    [SOLVED] Slow Backup-Speed - find the Bottleneck

    One thing you should check (probably not the cause of the issue but wouldn't hurt) is if you have the AES flag set for the PBS VM. In Hardware -> CPU -> Advanced you should be able to enable hardware acceleration for AES. This will improve your score on the encryption benchmark. Since PBS is...

    Instant mount / start of vm from pbs backup

    Adding the PVE repository also wants to replace these packages: dmeventd/stable 2:1.02.155-pve4 amd64 [upgradable from: 2:1.02.155-3] dmsetup/stable 2:1.02.155-pve4 amd64 [upgradable from: 2:1.02.155-3] libdevmapper-event1.02.1/stable 2:1.02.155-pve4 amd64 [upgradable from: 2:1.02.155-3]...

    Importing PV of a mapped (readonly) Backup Disk Image on its original VM

    @Lapointemar as stated in the forum post you linked there is a "neater" way to do this with proxmox-backup-client. Both ways will expose the backup as a block device, this does not change the behaviour of LVM.

    [SOLVED] Is there a way to make verification more efficient?

    Hi, the new feature of delaying verifications if done in the last X days got me thinking a bit about how verification works and if there would be a better approach to it. Here are a couple of question the devs could maybe answer :) AFAIK verification checks what kind of chunks should be in a...

    Importing PV of a mapped (readonly) Backup Disk Image on its original VM

    Hello, I wanted to map a disk backup to the machine it originated from. On the disk are some partitions with LVM. This brings two issues with it: The PV UUID is the same The PV does not like beeing /dev/loop0pX and would rather be /dev/sdaX which it was before the restore Usually you would...

    [SOLVED] Deduplication?

    yes, as long as it is on the same datastore yes, as long as it is on the same datastore yes, as long as it is on the same datastore Basically: Everything on the same datastore is deduplicated with other snapshots on the datastore.

    Recommended backup strategy for VMs/CTs/zfs datasets

    Adding to what @oversite said: If they follow through with their roadmap, the first release will be in Q4/2020 -> in the next two months. It is pretty stable already and we are on 0.9-4, so pretty close to beeing officially released.

    External PBS copy

    It doesnt have to be the same capacity, but you should have more capacity than storage space beeing used on your main pool. So in your case any drive >172GiB is sufficient. Those storage requirements will probably grow in the future though, so make sure you get a large enough drive.

    External PBS copy

    Quick rundown: Mount your drive to the location you want (e.g. /mnt/), in this example we will use /the/mountpoint/of/the/drive. Add a Datastore and point it to the external drive: Now add the PBS itself as a "Remote" like so: You will need to set the Userid to a user that actually exists...

    External PBS copy

    If you can mount your cloud drive or whatever you are using to your PBS instance, a sync job to localhost would probably be the best way.

    Roadmap for PBS

    I‘m currently using eve4pve-barc for proxmox, bareos and rsync :-D will try to phase out bareos and keep rsync for the proxmox nodes and hardware that doesn’t run Buster. eve4pve is a neat little script, but backup times are just insane for us, takes 20 hours for the backup to finish, if the...

    [SOLVED] After syncing to a new datastore: backup owner check failed (pve-user@pbs != backup@pam)

    Thank you for that example, I‘ll stick to the „hacky“ way suggested by oversite as I can easily change owners for all Backups at once. But good to have nonetheless!

    [SOLVED] Pruning: What happens when removing a VM and later creating a new one with the same ID

    How I understand it: The first backup kinda has to be a full backup, that makes sense. But the incrementals aren’t your traditional incrementals where the first „state“ of the VM never changes. PBS just keeps the chunks it needs for the last X days you specified. If you reached the prune...

    [SOLVED] After syncing to a new datastore: backup owner check failed (pve-user@pbs != backup@pam)

    Hi, I wanted to switch to a new datastore (store02) (on different disks) so did the following: Add a second datastore to the pbs server (store02) Added a remote with localhost and the store02 datastore Ran a sync from store01 to the "remote" localhost:store02 Removed store01 Modified the...
