    Can a sync job overwrite a newer backup?

    Hi. I have two Proxmox Backup Servers. They each receive different automatic backups but they have two sync jobs configured so that they end up having the same contents. Everyday GuestX starts an automatic backup at 0:00 which goes to PBS1. And everyday PBS2 starts its sync job at 12:00...

    PBS completely full disk

    Hello. I have a remote PBS with 2 disks as a ZFS-mirror. It all worked great but the disks got completely full so it is not operable anymore. I can access it through GUI and SSH, but I can only run few commands. I have deleted almost every log and most of its backups and then waited for more...

    Email notifications - Connection timed out

    Hi, I'm using PVE 7.1-12. The host is under NAT, so I think I need to use a relay for email notifications. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Postfix. In order to configure my email notifications I have tried different combinations of every configuration I have found in the forum and abroad...
