    [SOLVED] Restore single file from VM backup

    No that is not correct, you can restore those for host backups as well as VM/CT backups. Note that you have to differentiate between host/CT backups and VM backups, as they are handled differently. Could you please post the exact command you are trying to execute, not just the error message...

    Save/Export VM/CT backups from PBS to USB disk for offsite/offline backups

    In order to directly restore the VM including all the config ecc. afaik at the moment no. But what you can do is use the proxmox-backup-client restore functionality in order to restore the VM data to an image and mount that as loopback device in order to access the data of VMs. Or recreate the...

    Inkrementelles restore von PBS?

    Mittels dirty bitmap werden nur jene bloecke gesendet, welche seit dem letzten backup geschrieben wurden (vorausgesetzt die VM bleibt in betrieb). Wonach du suchst ist vermutlich so ein feature wie live restore (woran gearbeitet wird...

    ZFS Hotswap and Hot-Spare on PBS?

    Yes, RAIDZ-1 and a mirror are not the same. But what you are trying to do is not a good idea, removing a single drive from a mirror and declaring it a backup is not what a mirror is intended for. This is intended as failure protection, not to backup data. You will have to resilver the zpool each...

    [SOLVED] Just a simple question

    You cannot specify a VMID for a "new" VM during the restore, as the PBS does not know and does not care about PVE VMIDs (it is the PVE host who is concerned about that). The command provided by @dylanw does a file level restore of the index.json.blob to index.json. So in order to do a restore...

    Except some vm in backup

    Okay, I get what you want to achieve. But would it not make more sense to create backup pools for your VMs and schedule the backup jobs on a per pool basis instead of a per host basis. The VMs backup jobs will be anyways executed one after the other and if increased load is the issue, than rate...

    ZFS raidz3 high IO w/o scrub running

    Hi, what services are running in the guest? Is this Debian running in a LXC or VM? jdb2 is the journaling block device and is most likely not the root cause, something else might cause high IO. On a side note: Make sure your system stays up to date, PVE 6.3 was already released.

    Except some vm in backup

    Hi, in the 'Datacenter' -> 'Backup' tab if you select the backup job and click the 'Edit' button, you can select the nodes for which the backup job applies. If you leave this empty, then the job should apply to all nodes in the cluster. This should also be true for exclusion of VMs from the job.

    install PBS in a VM or along a PVE installation?

    Hi, I am running my PBS instance on the same physical host as my PVE install, the datastore residing on a dedicated zfs pool. Running PVE and PBS on the same host is no issue at all, as long as you don't expect to be protected against a host failure. Please do note that I use this in a homelab...

    I cannot logon the web interface, but I can login to server thru SSH.

    The pmxcfs database is malformed! You will have to restore it from a backup! If you do not have a backup your last resort will be trying recover the database (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18259692/how-to-recover-a-corrupt-sqlite3-database/57872238#57872238) Anyway make sure to do...

    [SOLVED] PBS VM backup to dumpfile

    Don't forget that you probably also want/need to restore the fw.conf.blob and qemu-server.conf.blob present in the backup, but stored separately from the disk images.

    [SOLVED] PBS VM backup to dumpfile

    Hi, you could do a proxmox-backup-client restore <snapshot> <archive-name> <target> with <target> being -, which will write to stdout. From there you can then pipe it to whatever toolchain you have in mind. But note, by this you will loose encryption...

    [SOLVED] How to remove a template which storage has been deleted

    You are just sad man, I truly feel sorry for you! You are the one without knowledge here and are just trolling and insulting people throughout the multiple useless posts of yours!

    [SOLVED] How to remove a template which storage has been deleted

    I disagree on that one. PVE can not know all the things you change behind its back and therefore might have an inconsistent view of the systems state. So it is safer to not allow the user to do these things. Also, you might get away with editing the CT configuration and the storage configuration...

    [SOLVED] Backup Time

    Hi, unfortunately no, at least not without increasing the IO performance of your storage or network or whatever the bottleneck is for your system. You can try to benchmark the performance of your system using proxmox-backup-client benchmark. For the first backup you will have to upload all the...

    Restore backup failed

    Hi, AFAIK the PBS client is not using the tmpdir specified in /etc/vzdump.conf (neigther during compression, nor decompression). This is only an option for vzdump backups. I stand to be corrected on this! Looking at the CLI arguments for the restore seen from the error output, the data is...

    [SOLVED] Change the HDD Options on already installed Proxmox

    No, you will have to do a full reinstallation using the Proxmox VE installer (which could be done remotely if your system offers IPMI) or alternatively install PVE on top of a debian install. Simply removing the PVE packages will not help you in changing the partition and filesystem layout. So...

    [SOLVED] Change the HDD Options on already installed Proxmox

    While it is possible in principle, in practice for a beginner as you are as stated in other posts backup and reinstall is by far easier with less risk of loosing data (as the other option involves resizing partitions, ecc...)
