Since a few weeks i do not get a working shell when i click on a proxmox-server and then on "_ Shell" in the proxmox webgui. The process is hanging with a blinking cursor but the prompt does not show up. Sometimes I get a prompt when i try multiple times to open the root shell. This happens...

Today i tried a "new method" of removing a proxmox cluster node out of 4. I thought it was a good idea to issue "rm -rf /boot /etc" to make sure the node never comes back. Well, this was the most stupid idea in the last years. Unfortunately this deleted most configs in /etc/pve like...

Hallo, ich bin ganz sicher, dass ich pmg 7.3-6 installiert habe: root@srv:~# pmgversion pmg-api/7.3-6/5a2550b8 (running kernel: 5.4.119-1-pve) Trotzdem bekomme ich mit pmg7to8 folgenden Fehler: Checking proxmox-mailgateway package version.. Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at...

Hi, I am planning a network setup with 3 host proxmox cluster at a hoster. The VMs will have private IP Addresses in a VLAN and will be accessed only via a Loadbalancer at the hoster. However, the VMs should be able to reach the internet for updates and deployments. I want to be able to migrate...

Hi, I recently installed a proxmox server with local-btrfs It is a 2 Disk raid 1 with size 1.8 TB btrfs fi usage / tells me that 1.67 TB are in use In fact only 934 GB are in Files on the disk When checking the diskspace with the btrfs tool btdu I can see that the disk space of the vms is...

Hi, I have a setup at a Hoster where the Proxmox VM Server is damned fast using NVMEs and the Proxmox Backup Server is terrible slow, for example network Bandwidth sometimes is only 30 MB/s What happens now: The Backup ov VM starts really fast with let's say 500 MB/s reading speed. The Proxmox...

A customer has 2 Servers at Hetzner in 2 Different IP subnets and in 2 Different Datacenters and asked me to modernize them. I would install a proxmox pve distribution on each server. Does someone have experiences if it is a good idea to cluster the servers in a pve cluster ? I could easily...

I have a Proxmox Backup Server in Data Center and would like to have a copy in another location. Proxmox Sync is no option, there is not enough online Bandwidth Tape also is no option, we will not invest again in tape technology I am taking a differential zfs snapshot on harddisk from...

I have a Backup Server with around 30TB of Backup Data. I would like to take all Backups offsite once a week. Unfortunately the daily change of Backup Blocks are so many that we cannot replicate them online. I mean it would be complete overkill to have a 10 GBit/s Line only for replicating...

We would like to regularly keep backups of Data outside of the Building. The full datastore including history of all Backups of all Machines does not fit on external disks and is too much for Internet syncing. I would like to somehow export the latest image of each vm once a week to an external...

I like proxmox backup server but budget only allows magnetic disks and raidz2. So especially verify and garbage collect procedures need a hell of a lot of time. For an 8 TB Backup space today verify needs 2 days and garbage collect needs 1 day. I think with verify there is not much i can do...

Is there a way in proxmox Backup Server to restore an image backup to a new machine ? I would like e.g. to restore backup vm/100 to vm/101 ? In some situations it is impoortant to keep vm/100 up and running

We are still evaluating pbs Server and begin to like it more and more. One problem ist that on some Servers e.g. mailserver or lamp server the incremental size ist unbevlievable high. An incremental after 24 hours is about 50% of the initial Backup size. But with a find-command run i find only...

I have a Mailserver with 500GB of E-Mails in 40 Mio Files in Maildir Format. When I backup the Mailserver with traditional tar/amanda it takes around 35 Minutes to do an incremental file backup the Server When I backup the server with proxmox backup client it takes hours to backup the...

Hi, how realistic is it to have a proxmox-backup-client for windows in the next months ? Is someone working on that ? Would that be an easy or complicated task ? I would like to have file Backups of windows vms in addition to image Backups.

Hi there, when running backups on vms which have qemu-guest-agent enabled the vms will regularly crash. This seems to be a well known problem with qemu guest agent which is described like this: When VM backup is invoked, Qemu agent freezes the file systems, so no single change will be made...

Hi, today i removed my former proxmox-backup-server (vm) and changed the clients to make their host-backups with proxmox-backup-client to a newly installed proxmox backup server (hardware). The Backup of the 50GB Filesystem of the client finishes in 2 Minutes. I am absolutely sure this is...

Hi, i am thinking about implementing some nagios checks for the proxmox backup server. I would like to check that the last datastore verify was successfull and not older x days Also I would like to check that the last Garbage Collection and Pruge was successfull Also maybe that the last file...

I just tested proxmox-backup-client on a client named web1 and i noticed that the name of the backup in the datastore was "web1". Since I have many web1 i wonder how I could give the backup set a more descriptive name ?

Hi, i am just evaluating proxmox backup server and I am really impressed. But how can i schedule client-file backups from the server so that for example only 2 or 3 backups run at the same time ? Lets say i have 80 vms to backup and my resources like cpu or disk or network only allow for 3...
