    Speed up Backupserver by adding zfs special device ?

    I like proxmox backup server but budget only allows magnetic disks and raidz2. So especially verify and garbage collect procedures need a hell of a lot of time. For an 8 TB Backup space today verify needs 2 days and garbage collect needs 1 day. I think with verify there is not much i can do...

    Any Hints why my incremental Backups are way too large ?

    I think the opposite. If i run fstrim on an 80GB drive with only 20GB of data it will lead to 60GB changed data. If I run fstri again it will lead to another 60GB of trimmed data.

    Any Hints why my incremental Backups are way too large ?

    We are still evaluating pbs Server and begin to like it more and more. One problem ist that on some Servers e.g. mailserver or lamp server the incremental size ist unbevlievable high. An incremental after 24 hours is about 50% of the initial Backup size. But with a find-command run i find only...

    Naming backups from proxmox-backup-client

    Thanks, the parameter backup-id is indeed accepted but strange things happen. When i execute a backup with: proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --backup-id "lb01.domainname" the backup is done but it is never shown in the datastore in the webinterface. Maybe the dot is an illegal character ?
