    ZFS on DELL NVMe direct drives vs HWRAID Drives

    Direct means just that - direct to the CPU, no HBA or muxing, however in some cases this may not be faster due to NUMA core pinning to VMs and dedicating lanes to each CPU... Then there is yet another option on the R760: "Direct Drive Switched" which adds a PCIe switch to switch the lanes...

    Restoring backup from off-site PBS server.

    Yes, funny I opened a feature request, and that is exactly the response it is available. I was a couple revs behind, and now on 3.3.3 I see there is now push/pull, and Removable Datasets. You might plug in a USB SSD, create a Push sync and set "Transfer Last" to 1 snapshot, Max Depth to 1, and...

    Restoring backup from off-site PBS server.

    Its the opposite, a remote off-site PBS can only PULL to sync, there is no push ability... So yes, you would need to temporarily open 8007 (with source IP restrictions or vpn) at the remote PBS and set it up as a local backup device on the PVE server or as a replication partner for the local PBS...

    VIRTIO SCSI vs VIRTIO SCSI single

    FYI... IDE mode severally hinders performance - according to this link VIRTIO is ~5x faster. I believe there might be other limitations such as online expansion, I think to expand an IDE you have to shut down your VM, adding a new Virtio can be done live, or expanded live, make sure to run the...

    [SOLVED] Cannot restore CT No space left on device

    Yes, thanks Waltar, that was the problem, the source was on ZFS compressed storage.... It was a 8GB disk, showed 4.5GB used, but on the new non-zfs storage it had 9GB used. I adjusted the restore rootfs size to 12GB: pct restore 218 vzdump-lxc-118-2024_12_28-17_32_14.tar.zst --rootfs 12...

    Immutable backups

    proxmox already has immutable backups - just run a remote sync PBS, the source PVE host and source PBS know nothing about the remote PBS since it works in a pull manner from the primary, they have no ability to access the remote PBS.... Or rsync/rclone/restic your PBS data store to rsync.net who...

    How to restore PVE Host?

    I already use that method, but a few people have said "just use PBS to backup the host", which it does backup, but it does not restore. So if there was a one stop option to always keep my data backed up on the PBS, including the host, with versioning, and quick disaster restore of everything...
