Hi All, Just a little question: I am currently running PBS on a VM with a NFS-Mounted backup share. Now... if I wanted to switch from the VM to a physical server... how can I attach the old NFS Share to the new physical server without having to re-create all backups? The least of my problems...

Hi, ... I'd rather update the PVE Servers - much less effort to be honest. Tobias

Hi, Looks like ch is broken, indeed.... (aaargh, now I have to change the sources.list on ~300 nodes. bugger!) Tobias

... but please tranlate "no space left on device" with "kein Weltraum links auf Gerät". Thanks! Tobias P.S: Despite being a native german speaking person I absolutely hate translated gui's since before windows 3.0, sorry.

pssst, some people use the company that normally used to build bridges (or other payware). :cool:

Hi All, It might be intentional... but.... Why is it that I can't install other software using apt-get install <DEB-Name>? root@pbs:~# apt-get update Hit:1 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian buster InRelease Hit:2 http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease Hit:3...

Hi Thomas, I tend to like the guest-agent a lot - much cleaner backups :) Basically, the workaround is simple: Do the backup of PBS using vzdump to a normal (NFS)-Store - and send the rest to PBS. BTW, I'm seeing quite good numbers doing backups... especially unix vms are about 50-60%...

hi, True. But the Proxmox Server runs on the local partition - and some stuff is most probably not going directly to the nfs storage. I think this generates a deadlock somehow (which isn't surprising, honestly). Tobias

Hi Thomas (again), Just checked your Input about "different store with no backup"... I don't think this has anything to do with that. I think the problem occurs here: INFO: issuing guest-agent 'fs-freeze' command INFO: issuing guest-agent 'fs-thaw' command This seems to block the writes to...

Hi again, ... on a completely different note: It would be very cool if we could somehow download the backup server configuration into an archive to store i.e. on a USB key or likewise. This would simplify mitigating a backup server crash a lot! Tobias

Hi Thomas, This is Jackass and we're doing Backups! As always: Curiosity kills the cat :cool: Easier way: Backup PBS using vzback to a different directory - and then do the backups using PBS with the exclude flag. The error is not non-recoverable - so after restarting pvestatd everything is...

Hi All, Just in case someone else wants to try something stupid: If you're running PBS as a VM, DO NOT try to backup your own PBS Server to PBS. Tried it - ended up with a broken backup (and pvestatd needing a restart). Was it a stupid idea? Ummmm... somewhat ;-) Otherwise... works brilliant...

Hi Kenneth, I see your point... but I don't think putting PBS on a PVE Node does make too much sense right now. First, scalability will be impaired. You only run PBS on one node - the others will just feed that node. This could lead to a bottleneck. Second... I don't think it is a good idea...

Hi You can install PBS on a standard debian system with custom storage layout. If you tweak enoug you might even be able to run it on something like a synology or qnap storage... don’t ask me about supporting the latter - for tests: yes. For production: nope. Tobias

I currently have a vm set up with pbs - it‘s not so much about traffic, it‘s more about convenience. once the server is out of beta status I will most probably add some dedicated server to run pbs. one question I still have is how to backup the pbs configuration in order to access my backups...

... if you find this question „interesting“ I fear we‘re in for a bit of a surprise here... I *know* what people charge for virtualization or backup (or both). And for now, Proxmox has been *very* fair. I don‘t expect wonders - but would love to be able to sell this to smaller customers...

Hi All, I have one question regarding PBS... can you give us any (rough) estimate on what the pricing will be / how the licensing will be implemented? Will it be a per-backup-server / per-client pricing? And how much will each server / client cost? Since we do have quite a lot of Proxmox VE...

Hi, Well, pity. Then I'm looking forward to the next update of PVE (the cluster I run is on the enterprise...) :) Tobias

Hi, here you go: proxmox-ve: 6.2-1 (running kernel: 5.4.41-1-pve) pve-manager: 6.2-6 (running version: 6.2-6/ee1d7754) pve-kernel-5.4: 6.2-4 pve-kernel-helper: 6.2-4 pve-kernel-5.3: 6.1-6 pve-kernel-5.4.44-2-pve: 5.4.44-2 pve-kernel-5.4.44-1-pve: 5.4.44-1 pve-kernel-5.4.41-1-pve: 5.4.41-1...
