    Use lvm-thin as datastorage

    I have a second PVE server that also has PBS (1.0.8) installed. This second server shall backup the VMs/CTs from the first one. Most of the disk space is in LVM-thin as this will be used for VMs. Is it possible to use lvm-thin as a datastorage? I don't know what kind of information would be...

    AGAIN, proxmox backup server doesn't accept connection after install & reboot

    I recently installed PBS 1.0-8 (via apt; Debian Buster) in a testing VM on a PVE host, and noticed that my network was gone as ifupdown2 was being installed. Could login via noVNC console and "ifup eth0". No problem with connecting to the GUI afterwards. Today, I installed PBS on an external...

    Migration on LVM-thin
