    Needed User Permissions to see PBS backups in PVE

    Hi, The user can’t see backups because permissions also need to be set on the PBS datastore itself, not just in PVE. Once you add Datastore on the PBS side, the backups will show up.

    MX got timeout

    Could you please check the logs to see why it’s timing out: journalctl -u pmgproxy -f grep 'error' /var/log/pmg/pmgproxy/pmgproxy.log If the problem is too many connections, use NGINX in front of PMG to handle more traffic. Don’t try to change the built-in proxy. Only if nothing else works...

    Errors with File Restore

    Hi, The error usually happens because some of the partitions in the backup aren’t designed to be read directly, so the file restore tool can’t mount them. That’s why you’re able to restore from certain folders but not others. If you need files from those areas, the best option is to restore...

    VM Disk Performance Issue After Moving from Local RAID SSD to NFS Storage

    @bbgeek17 Orignally vm 121 was on storage local-lvm at pve4. To trouble shoot the IO issue, I've created storage local-lvm2 on the same VG at pve4 to see if it can help (actually it can't). I've already moved the vm disk back to local-lvm. I am sorry for confusing you. HW raid model? HPE...

    Adding NFS storage using command line

    Your testy NFS storage is inactive because it’s missing a path. Fix it with: pvesm set testy --path /mnt/pve/testy Then check: pvesm status It should be active. When adding NFS storage via CLI, always include --path /mnt/pve/<name>

    Migration of VM to a new install of proxmox.

    The issue is likely because the USB SSD hasn’t been added as a storage location in Proxmox yet. Once it’s mounted and added under Datacenter → Storage, your backups will appear in the GUI and be ready for restore.

    VM Disk Performance Issue After Moving from Local RAID SSD to NFS Storage

    We have a Proxmox VE Essentials 1xCPU subscription and are experiencing a disk performance drop after migrating a VM’s virtual disk. Originally, the VM’s disk was on a local RAID SSD. We moved it to an NFS shared disk (15K RPM RAID array) hosted on an ESXi server over the network. After the...

    Proxmox Backup Server - free system disk space

    Hi, The issue is likely that some backup files or large data were accidentally saved to the root disk (like /mnt) instead of the backup storage. This can happen if the datastore wasn't mounted properly during a backup. You can check what's using space with: du -h -d1 / | sort -hr | head -n 20...

    Windows VM Freezing During Backup

    Hi, Regarding the issue, please check the following: System resources: Make sure the Windows VM isn’t running low on RAM or disk I/O during the backup. QEMU Guest Agent: Try disabling it temporarily to see if that helps. Logs: Check the PBS and PVE backup logs for more details about when the...

    Restore from VM Disks?

    Hi, Since you still have the .qcow2 and .raw disk files, you can likely recover the VMs. You can do this by: Creating a new VM in Proxmox (with similar specs). Deleting the new empty disk it creates. Moving or linking your old disk file (like vm-101-disk-0.qcow2) into the new VM's folder...

    Home Assistant and Proxmox

    Hi, Since your backup is around 60GB and the VM disk is showing 18TB, the easiest way to fix this is: Restore from backup Since you made a backup after setting up a new Home Assistant VM: Just restore that 60GB backup onto the new VM you created. It will ignore the oversized disk and only use...

    can't lock file '/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-104.conf' - got timeout

    Hi, This issue happens when the Veeam worker VM gets stuck in the "starting" state, and Proxmox locks the VM config file. That’s why backups fail. Since restarting pvedaemon fixes it, it might be a stuck task or process. You can try: Run journalctl -u pvedaemon -n 100 to check logs. Check if...

    User permissions for backup jobs, retention rules

    Hi, The error means that your PBS user doesn’t have permission to delete old backups (prune), which is why the retention rules are not working. The DatastoreBackup role only allows making backups, not deleting them. To fix this, you can give the user the DatastorePowerUser role on the...

    How to change default return-path sender (mailer-daemon@hostname) in PMG?

    Hi Team, We are using Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG). When emails bounce or fail to send, PMG sends a message from mailer-daemon@<hostname>. The problem is that this email address is not allowed by our SPF/DMARC settings, so other servers sometimes reject it. Is there a way to change the...
