I renamed a pve (8.4.1) with four VMs from pve1 to pve2 by changing the hostname via CLI (/etc/hostname), which was always sufficient so far. Now I have both pve1 and pve2 in the WebGUI. (Actually, it's sensible and I've already expressed a wish: to be able to display multiple hosts in the...

I would like to have a column in the backup overview that shows the actual storage usage of a backup. The column with the original size of the backed up VM can be removed.

I would like to install a second PBS in a network that pulls PBS from the first one. Lightning, fire, and theft are obviously a source of danger that can't be eliminated this way. How do I minimize the remaining threats? 2FA comes to mind. The rest is basically just window dressing. What do you...

I have a PVE with a local 2TB SSD. I created a single VM (PBS) with a 1700GB virtual data partition in locale-lvm. This virtual disk filled up. Now, the VM won't boot correctly and instead reports I/O errors. The PBS web GUI doesn't work either. Any ideas for resolving this issue?

I've installed a VM (PBS) on an external USB drive on PVE-A. Now I want to connect this drive to PVE-B and start the VM there. What's the best way to proceed? Please don't give me any advice using vzdump. We're talking about at least 16 TB.

I'd like to use a PBS as a central backup point. From this, I'd like to vzdump copies of the latest version to USB media. So, a copy of the backup into another RAW backup. A web GUI is secondary. any ideas?

I've been having a massive problem with some PVE hosts for quite some time now (+1 year). They tend to crash completely (weekly) during backups. All of them are up to date. The web GUI reports, for example: file '/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js' exists but open for...

I would like to automatically restore VMs from a PBS via CLI. Is there anything like qmrestore VM_ID-latest to do that? So I would like to write vzdump files from a PBS to external media. Has anything happened in the meantime instead of using tapes from external usb plates? Of course I would...

Instead of an external PBS via network, I would like to work with an internal sync target on a USB disk. Is that possible?

I would like to activate 2FA for the WebGUI / App (not per SSH). However, access to a server from the internal network should work without 2FA. Is that possible and if so how?

Is it possible to (reliably) pass a USB device to multiple VMs? I'm primarily concerned with smart card readers. So no write access.

Is it possible to have updates installed automatically and only be informed by email if a restart is necessary? If yes, how?

I would like to log the startup of VMs. I want to send an email as soon as a VM starts. Is that possible? If so, how?

I have a strange problem here with a pbs backup: 1. I have a pveserver (pve1) with three virtual machines. 2. pve1 has an additional internal backup SSD on which I can back up the three VMs without any problems. 3. Additionally have a pbs on another pve (pve0). 4. pve1 and pve0 are connected...

Hi, how to fix following error message? Garbage collection failed: update atime failed for chunk/file "/mnt/pbs-data/.chunks/0037/00375434c8a8b999357719949bb015c198109a254317410fc19092ba2074dfaf" - EACCES: Permission denied

I would like to duplicate a pbs offsite via pull. To do this, I have to expose the basic pbs to be secured to the Internet via port 8007. Correct? Can I somehow elegantly limit which API functions are available via port 8007?

I'm in the process of virtualizing bare metal installations. That works quite well too. To do this, I pulled a vhdx file from the affected machines and imported it into Proxmox using qm import.... Also runs. However, the process in Proxmox creates a 1TB drive (the physical size of the original...

I would like to pass an USB device (here specifically a smart card reader) that is connected to a PVE to several Windows VMs in parallel. Is that possible? Does anyone have experience implementing this requirement?

Hi community, I want to set up an efficient offsite backup, so I have a PBS (A) on the network that I want to be backed up by the offsite PBS (B). Unfortunately, the internet connection is rather mediocre (I'm in Germany after all ;-). Now I thought of the following scenario: - B is initially...

Hi, I run a central PBS virtualized on a PVE host. The VMs of various other PVE hosts are backed up on this PBS. Now I would like to extract PBS-VMs there as a dump file on external media. Gladly via CLI like this: restore-dump-from-pbs --latest <vmid> <destination> Is that possible somehow? I...
