Ah, I interpreted as that you had PBS configured with an NFS target, my bad. I'm sure that you thought of it in case it was an option, just to be sure: your NAS does not run Debian or containers? Because in that case, you could install PBS there, instead of on Proxmox itself.

Hi offerlam, So you had something that just worked? :-P In addition to @sb-jw 's remark: expect transfer speeds much lower than the maximum your network or your disk can offer. Latency kills the diff-checks when doing incremental backups; network storage (whether NFS or SMB) adds latency.

Sorry, I have no suggestions. I hope another reader can help you out!

How could I verify that my chunks are encrypted data, or prove that they are not? I tried strings on a couple of chunks, but did not get any readable results. My backups are unencrypted.

Hi necaccs, Is upgrading to PVE 8.1 and trying there an option for you? There have been some threads about *BSD not booting (different symptoms) on some 8.0 versions (that did boot on 7.x), which have since been resolved.

Wohoo, thanks for posting back :-) Still a bit unsatisfactory to not know the cause in the first place ;-)

Hi Azunai, I did mean apt upgrade Thank you for the heads-up! I am quite surprised a regular apt upgrade, with no forcing, would break an installation. What I could imagine, in a cluster, is that one node has some specific packages installed that are not installed on another, and that these...

Ah, then it is good to know: apt update pulls the latest package definitions; after this the apt package database is up-to-date (this way the GUI can show you upgrades are pending) apt upgrade pulls the actual changes; after this your system is up-to-date Automatic application of security...

I habitually type shutdown -hP now, but now that I check on a current Debian installation, I see that --poweroff is the default. I don't type extra letters because they come for free, I recall there being a different default previously that necessitated the -hP options. What is the default...

Hi Mrt12, I expect this database not only takes long to backup, but also ages to shut down (depending on usage and storage speed). Seeing you do have backups, would it be an option to decouple this database from the rest of the system, and import it into another container that you can...

Hi TimRyan, Obscure troubles! Which process do you refer to?

Hi tenfoldinaus, While your splashing on hardware, I have some more useless advice: invest in a keyboard with a working "shift" and "point" key, besides caps lock and comma. It will you when you try to write your story, and give people who might help you the idea that you take them serious.

I have no idea :-( If it were my environment, I'd like to know the cause, but without any progress and seeing the other VMs don't have this problem, I'd rebuild a new instance of the machine. Maybe another visitor has a suggestion!

With machine, do you mean only a single VM (what I understood) or a single PVE installation out of many? What do you mean with that? Something like, "According to Windows, there is nothing to write to disk"?

Hi RobGranger, Is that a statement or a question? :-P You posted enough data, but missing a helping hand in what you want to show, I only noticed this bit: Did you put the asterixes there to attract our attention, or is that part of the output? Anyway, with that configuration I would be...

Hi galileon, Welcome to the forums! Is it always the same machine, or if not, always the same set of machines? If so, is there a (shared) piece of software/service that has different characteristics from the other machines?

Good luck troubleshooting, I'm sure you'll get help if you need it!

Hi comi, Welcome to the forums! is a very short description of your reason to post :-) Do you mean that you also have trouble with reliability of your power grid? You can open new threads for free ;-) So if your problem is not the same, you could try starting a new thread (with some more...

Could you try removing the CD player? I added a CD player once, without any media, and the BIOS would not offer me a boot option for the hard disk anymore: only 'default' (which did not boot), 'CD' and 'network'. I don't know how to enter the (virtual) BIOS and change its settings, so I...

Hi TheRocky, Welcome to the forums! My first thought when starting to read your story, I wondered "Would a container not solve the problem?", which apparently you already tried. Out of interest, what makes you prefer a VM over of a container? To get help on the VM-problem, make it easy for...
