    Windows granular backup

    Another way that i'm doing this is with a docker container with cron built-in. Just set the env variables right. There is also support for other datasoirces such as googlecloud and smb shares. https://github.com/OvrAp3x/ProxmoxBackupClientDocker

    [SOLVED] Move hard drive instead of a backup (zfs)

    I thoight maybe it was an ext filesystem, For zfs you need to mount it with zpool import NAMEOFYOURPOOL Then add it it the proxmox storage tab from the gui.(make sure to keep the same name) Then the rest is correct

    [SOLVED] Move hard drive instead of a backup (zfs)

    Assuming the new server is also running proxmox, yes. Make a note ot the mount point of the disk, copy the storage config from under datacenter for the disk. Copy the vm config from /etc/pve/lxc/YOURVMID.conf, and place it in the same location on the new server. Then you should be golden

    Backup verification on zfs

    Would it then make sense to have a verification mode for zfs, that is "light"? Ie. It only checks the logical consistency?

    Backup verification on zfs

    Hi, I'm seeing that verification jobs are taking up quite a bit of time on the backup server. (I am using the only verify new snapshots thing) And then i realized, is checksumming and checkimg for bitrot not what zfs scrub jobs are doing? Is it then even neccesary to run verify if the backing...

    Instant mount / start of vm from pbs backup

    Thank you for the script, though I have not gotten this to work. Still running some tests. Though I'm wondering if something like this would be implemented as built in feature in the client? Sort of like the "veeam instant recovery" I think this would be a "killer" feature that would bring...

    Problems with Containers after upgrade to PVE 4

    Great! Now they are starting and running properly. But they seem to take quite a long time to start, before in openvz these would be up in 10 seconds or less (running small websites in apache2) now they take a approx 1 minute. (looks like they just stopped at the 13-14 mb ram for this time). I...
