Hello, I have a VM which has a virtual disk on ZFS with a size of 6TB, while less than 1TB is actually used. For at least a few weeks, I need to backup this VM to a USB drive which only has 4TB. At the moment, a vzdump backup still has around 3.5TB in size, which means it works once but will...

Hello, I made a fresh install of Proxmox using the current ISO (7.1-2). I used ZFS (RAID 1) with two disks. Today I wanted to boot from the ISO into recovery mode, because we accidentally lost the root password. However, rescue boot fails - grub tells me: error: compression algorithm 68 not...

Hello, I would like to know if it is theoretically possible to implement multiple backup jobs running in parallel. I am thinking of two backups, one local backup to a USB drive or NAS and another backup to a remote PBS. We are quite happy with our PBS, where we backup multiple sites to our...

Hello, I'm looking for a way to grow a RAIDZ-1 with four 3TB disks by another two disks. I naively assumed this would be as straightforward as it is with mdadm RAID, but it seems it isn't. Code for this seems to exist in ZFS on Linux but obviously won't hit Proxmox until at least Debian 12 is...

Hello, I'd like to know if it is somehow possible to sync one or preferrably more local datastores to another local datastore, namely on an external (USB) disk. I managed to create a ZFS filesystem on the disk and create a datastore on it, but it seems I can only sync remote datastores. Any way...

Hello, I am experiencing awfully slow write performance on a newly setup PVE node (single-node setup). The server is a HP ProLiant ML 110 Gen10 with 48GB RAM, a Xeon Silver 4208. It has two NVME SSDs (WDC WDS100T2B0C-00PXH0) used as a ZFS mirror (boot device) and two 8TB Hard Disks...

Hello, I want to backup a remote site to PBS, to which we only have a DSL connection. I guess that this would be enough for incremental backups every night, but not for an initial backup. There are around 4TB to be backed up. I cannot temporarily move the PBS server to that location. But I...

Hello, for several reasons which are not in my hands; I need to install proxmox backup client on Debian 8 (jessie). This won't work with the binary deb Packages because of missing dependencies. Before I give it a try - would it be possible to compile the client from source using the libraries...

Hello, is it possible to change the hostname on an existing PBS storage on Proxmox VE 6.3? I have successfully completed testing our Backup server. Now it should go into production and receive its own hostname and "official" SSL certificate. However, backups are taken over a slow DSL link (40...
