To OP: I am having a similar vzdump backup issue with a legacy XP KVM using remote NFS storage. The problem started about 3 weeks ago after running fine for a long time. On a whim, yesterday I disabled lzo compression. I need several more backup runs before deciding lzo is the culprit. I don't...

I have been digging into this all week. A recent discovery is disabling lzo compression seems to allow the backups to complete. I do not yet have a sufficient number of backups to confidently say that is part of the problem, but curious nonetheless.

To use traditional text logs with systemd, edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf: ForwardToSyslog=yes

Even without a paypal account?

Ah! Thank you for catching the obvious. :) I don't know how that got changed -- should have been Default, which after a reboot, fixes the problem.

Hi all, When I use the noVNC option to view an XP KVM, the host system mouse pointer never aligns with the VM mouse pointer. Attempting to use the VM in this manner is similar to pushing strings. :) I found an old thread about the issue but nothing was fully resolved. The mouse pointer aligns...

Traditionally with Linux systems use /etc/profile.d, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, and ~/.bash_profile.

Excellent idea. :) One challenge is subscriptions are only 1) bank transfer and 2) paypal. Home lab users likely are not motivated to use either. A credit card option would be nice. That option also would allow home lab users to buy pre-paid "one-off" cards to make payments. I think once upon...

For the Proxmox host I use rsnapshot with a nightly cron job. I backup /etc, /root/, /usr/local/, and /var. In a bare metal disaster recovery, I install Proxmox fresh and then restore the rsnapshot backups. I have done this once. so not an expert but the strategy did work. Requires some fore...

Last night the backup again failed at status: 52%. The vzdump did restart the KVM. Hopefully that part of the problem is resolved.

This is all I wanted to know. Perhaps this information is in the Proxmox docs, but likely I missed the obvious statement. Thanks. :)

A quick report update. I installed the Proxmox updates yesterday. The backups last night succeeded without event and the VM also restarted. We use a rotation of different backup servers, each with different connection speeds and I won't be able to provide a full report for several days. So far...

Oops! My mistake. I was focusing on Windows based KVMs. :) That is, do the Windows KVMs need to time sync or does the Proxmox host control the clock?

Does Proxmox control the internal internal clock of QEMU/KVMs? I also use VirtualBox and that software does control the clock of the VM. Hence my question if Proxmox does likewise. I found information about clocks on QEMU/KVM systems, but I am unable to determine whether syncing the clock to a...

Thank you for replying Fabian. I understand the explanation -- been there myself many times. Nonetheless, I believe changing the text string would be more "technically correct" and more helpful. If such a change was made, explicitly noting the new string in the change logs would alert admins...

Dietmar, thank you for replying! Weekend here. I will update Monday. Seems there are actually two issues. The first issue is the KVM not restarting when the backup fails and aborts. As Stop mode is being used, the KVM should be restarted regardless of the vzdump exit code. At the moment this...

Thank you. Perhaps the 2 second timeout could be configurable? Or the script revised to try more than once before logging something? And the text string error in the logs revised to be more technically correct? I accept that the scripts are written in a way that creates the perception that a...

I'm sorry. I forgot to post the version info.: pveversion -v proxmox-ve: 5.1-43 (running kernel: 4.15.17-1-pve) pve-manager: 5.1-52 (running version: 5.1-52/ba597a64) pve-kernel-4.13: 5.1-44 pve-kernel-4.15: 5.1-4 pve-kernel-4.15.17-1-pve: 4.15.17-8...

I am not a network expert and don't play one on TV, but perhaps check that the container is correctly binded to a specific Proxmox vmbrX interface. For example, if the Proxmox vmbr0 is using 192.168.25.0/24 then the container should be configured to use vmbr0 with an IP address in that same...

I do not use fail2ban because I find the Proxmox firewall (FW) tools to be very good. Using the Proxmox FW "macro" options, I created some security groups that I apply to containers. For example, one group allows only infrastructure network subnets. Another group is for basic web servers...
