Hi tim.tom, Welcome to the forums! First my pet peeve: why use VMs in resource-constrained environments, when containers are available? Has the option crossed your mind? I have hardly used ZFS (in favour of LVM), and I never heard of Cryptomator, so for answers to your actual questions I...

To fit in the Proxmox deduplication framework, I think there is no way around having a PBS datastore. There "theoretically" is a way around having your separate copy in the ZFS pool though. You could install the backup client on the Windows machines (provided they run a recent enough Windows...

Hi ahorner, Welcome to the forums! Proxmox does not provide an option to write to tape other than from datastore. To get an idea of the context, these data on your pool are backed up outside of the Proxmox-backup-mechanism?

You could install a plain Linux distro with a Mac-look desktop, it would also almost be a macbook. Within the possibilities of your hardware, the least complex I think is to follow Dunuin's earlier suggestion, and have Proxmox run NAT. Good luck!

Ah, yes, I totally overlooked that. Sorry for adding to the confusion. - edit - Another cludge: when holding on to 'no wire to the laptop', should adding USB WiFi dongles provide a workaround? And on second thought (and second reading): the Wiki-page, and the linked pages there, really provide...

How long has that been? Any reboots since then?

Some combination of Dunuin's B&C might work: you could install OpenWRT in a container and configure WiFi as WAN, and connect your bridge to the LAN side.

Hi Philip, I share the general concerns of using only WiFi as Proxmox connectivity, but the general use case is with Proxmox as server for the rest of the network. Do I understand correctly that in your case it is only as virtualization layer for your laptop, with different client OS's to...

Hi okela, How many nodes are there in HA, and what kind of connectivity? I recall HA working within quite tight tolerances, kicking a perceived offline node into reboot at the slightest delay. Without an HA setup, I have no experience with the symptoms though, and can not say whether anything...

Hi Dominic, Thank you for your time and reply! I know; I had hoped it would fit, did not take precautions and learned for the next time ;-)

Hi Aagi, Sorry for interupting. I only have backed up to tape backups from datastore. From the conversation I infer that you try to / want to backup from tape to VM directly, is that correct? Let me share my (positive :) ) experience backing up to tape from PBS. In my case, the (incrementally...

Great, nice to read that! Thanks for the update :)

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...
