Hi all, I have an external PBX for remote backup. At the moment the web interface is accessible via the Internet. I have SSH access via public key for root and disabled password access. Of course root now can not log in via the web interface, which is the way I like it as long it is on the...

Hi all, (Excuse me, this was supposed to go into the PBS subforum) Is there a way to estimate / extrapolate runtime of backup actions, or guess whether it finished or is still running? My PBS runs on low end hardware (4TB@7.2k spinning SAS, non-RAID, with LVM cache on SSD, quadcore Atom D525...

Hi all, I locked myself out of a container. The container runs Debian with Yunohost; it was installed with a sudo account and root login disabled. One way or another both my accounts with sudo have no sudo anymore after an unexpected power cut. User accounts are managed via LDAP on the...

Hi all, Edit: the 'not deploying' bit turns out to be a known problem , to be fixed upstream I am in the process of supplying hosts on the LAN with Letsencrypt certificates. I found the ACME plugins in datacenter and node, and an option to manually upload a certificate via the Web GUI or...

Hi all, I started a backup to tape. There were about one and a half tape free (in a four-tape set), I did not think of allocating more tapes to the pool. Unfortunately, there is more data to back up than there is tape in the pool. The task ended in `alloc writable media in pool 'tapeset'...

Hi all, I just completed backup and verification of a snapshot and started a task to write it to tape. There are six snapshots of this container, the fifth of which failed verification. Only the first snapshot has been written to tape previously My intention was to write only the last...

Hi all, I'm contemplating replacing a mail server with PMG. The installation options that are relevant to me are 'on top of Debian' (together with PVE) or 'Download the LXC template' The mail server sees a fairly low volume of mail. Is there any benefit to one or the other option? The only...

Hi all, TL;DR: I created a thin volume and a mount point, but forgot to mount it before creating a datastore. The result was not what I expected. Not finding LVM thin explicitly in the PBS docs, I asked whether a datastore on thinly provisioned LVM would work. Conclusion: yes it does, just...

TL;WR: This must have been a one-off run-together of circumstances 4 snapshots of a backup failed re-verification 8 corrupt chunks in snapshot 1 running 5th snapshot backup while verifying 1-4 5th snapshot also fails verification 3 different chunks restore snapshot 1 from tape (2...

Hi all, TL;WR: I had a snapshot that failed verification Restore from tape did not correct any chunks On re-verification it turned out that the verification had incorrectly flagged a number of chunks as failed Lessons learned: use server grade hardware or exercise patience (ie, don't run...

Hi all, I'm on PBS 2.4.x. There is an external tape drive connected to the system, but it is not running 24/7 as I need change the tapes manually anyway. The result is that tape backups occur less frequently than planned in the job. So there is a bit of a backlog of un-taped backup snapshots...

Hi all, I just started with Proxmox and the forum. My hardware is a lot simpler than most things I read about on the forum, still it manages to puzzle me. On initial installation I got a single SSD, on which I put ZFS in RAID0, ie., a single disk pool. I set copies=2, and had a root partition...
