    How to view Proxmox's last actions?

    I guess I wasn't sure and as my Proxmox is running on a CentOS 6.5 system, I thought that as the apt-get command failed, perhaps it was a Red Hat command. Nevertheless, I have fixed the issue, which was vi was installed on Proxmox, so I installed vim. I also had to update my resolv.conf file to...

    How to automatically backup Proxmox and its VMs?

    Yes, I have a spare dedicated box I can either leave on all the time, or just turn on for 1 day for the auto backups. NAS4FREE looks worthwhile checking out. I'll check it out.

    How to view Proxmox's last actions?

    Thanks, that shows some stuff. Although, I had to use # nano syslog.1. Not really much info there to find out where the auto backup files have been stored. I couldn't install vim? I might make a new thread on how to install vim on Proxmox. yum install vim gives error, -bash: yum: command not...

    How to automatically backup Proxmox and its VMs?

    Hello, after running out of space on the local disk running Proxmox and VMs, I think it's time I setup NFS. Any EASY guides to set up NFS please? I have a 2nd computer ready with about 4 disks. The NFS install and configuration is what I need now, to move monthly automatic backups from...

    How to view Proxmox's last actions?

    Hello, my Proxmox server is set to automatically backup the VMs at the end of the month, then SSH the backed up VM files to my computer. My Proxmox disk was too full to store the backups, and now the disk shows as 100% full. So, I would like to view a history of Proxmox to see what...

    How to setup NFS for Proxmox backups?

    Maybe a Proxmox backup snapshot? I ran a Backup on Proxmox to NFS for 19:00, but nothing happened? Doesn't say what path Proxmox backed up to and what path the backup was sent to on the NFS computer.

    How to setup NFS for Proxmox backups?

    This is the bit I don't understand. One can always trick Proxmox by setting up a virtual machine to provide the NFS share, however such approach is not strongly recommended. If you are short on physical servers you can create a virtual machine and point it to use a separate physical hard drive...

    How to setup NFS for Proxmox backups?

    Thank you for the reply. I still don't understand how to setup Proxmox as a backup tool for daily automatic backups to a 2nd HDD I stuck in the Proxmox machine. I would then use the 2nd physically separate computer with a 2 TB HDD for a monthly backup, by turning on the 2nd computer once per...

    How to setup NFS for Proxmox backups?

    Hello, I am setting up NFS and would like to check if I have the setup right. Proxmox runs on 1 server, connected to router. 2nd computer has some 2TB HDDs in it, connected to router. Install Ubuntu 14.04 server on 2nd computer. Set static IP on 2nd computer. Install NFS on 2nd computer Ubuntu...

    Restore VMfile.vma.lzo

    Crashed means all the VMs have an io-error and won't function. I know a little bit about Linux, but I don't know specific Proxmox commands or paths. How much money do you want, to make your Proxmox restore work and show me the correct Proxmox commands and paths? As mentioned, I have a back up...

    Restore VMfile.vma.lzo

    Thank you for the reply. I noticed you said "If you have an openvz-ct" To be clear: Proxmox old server has crashed. Proxmox new server has been built. Proxmox new server has no VMs. Proxmox new server tries to Create VM, but no Storage finds the backups from /var/lib/vz/dump. This means I have...

    Restore VMfile.vma.lzo

    Ok, I also copied all VMIDs.conf from /etc/pve/qemu-server from my old Proxmox machine to my local computer. Now I need to restore all the VMs on the new Proxmox somehow? Any suggestions please?

    Restore VMfile.vma.lzo

    Yes, I am trying to restore, but there are no VMs on the newly installed Proxmox. You see, Proxmox often crashes and I have to rebuild Proxmox often. So, I have rebuilt Proxmox yet again and now the only way to restore a backedUpFile.vma.lzo it seems, is to create a VM. To create a VM, is...
