No problem. I have deleted the VM's now. I will just make sure to manually set the ID from now on when creating a new one. I assume the idea now is that if I do ever need to restore those VMs, I would just create new ones with the previous IDs and then the backups should show up from PBS in the...

OK. That makes sense. So at this point, it would be up to me to manage the IDs and make sure those previous ones aren't re-used. Manually assigning the ID of each new VM. Is there no way to configure qemu on PVE to ignore/blacklist certain IDs so they wouldn't get used automatically? I've tried...

OK. But what happens when a new VM re-uses one of the previous ID's? That's not clear to me. For example, I want to delete VM 106. The backup in PBS when created is automatically labeled "vm/106/timestamp". If I delete VM 106 and then create a new VM and ID 106 is re-used, when PVE runs the...

Hi all, I would like to delete some unused VMs in PVE to free up some space. The VMs are all backed up using PBS. If I delete the VMs will the corresponding backups in PBS be destroyed? I've deleted VMs before but never had the desire to keep the backups around until now. Not sure exactly...

Awesome. I will have a look over that. Thank you. FS

Hi all, I have Proxmox installed on a ZFS mirror. My server has been up and running for over one and a half years now and I have had no major issues. I am current running: pve-manager/7.2-7/d0dd0e85 (running kernel: 5.15.39-4-pve) My zpool looks like this: pool: rpool state: ONLINE...

I built and posted that qemu-guest-agent on the TrueNAS forums. I remember someone saying that they had to make the file executable. It definately not something I had to do. But perhaps thats because I built it? Not sure. I have now migrated my TrueNAS Core installation over to TrueNAS Scale...

Yeah the CLI is what I have had to use so far. There doesn't seem to be a way to set up a schedule as such with the CLI though. No problem. Just have to remember to take a manual backup occasionally using the CLI. Thanks.

Yes, I am using that part of the web UI but that only seems to support backing up virtual machines and containers, which is working fine. There is no support there for backing up the actual Proxmox VE host root directory though. None that I can see anyway.

I have found a way to do this using the proxmox-backup-client CLI on the Proxmox VE host. I have successfully backed up the root directory of Proxmox VE to Proxmox Backup Server. I can't see any way to do this from the web UI in Proxmox VE. Am I overlooking something? Using the CLI is fine...

Hi all, I have set up Proxmox Backup Server and I am looking for how I can back up my Proxmox VE host installation. I can't seem to see how to do it. Is this something that must be done at the command line? I have everything set up. Created a datastore using a CIFS share and I have added the...

So I have replaced three of the drives now. No problems. Although there is a message about running zpool upgrade to enable new features. Is this generally a safe operation to carry or are there any considerations I should make before doing so? Thanks, FS

Hi all, I currently have 4x 1TB NVMe drives running as a stripped mirror for my VM disk storage. I am in the process of replacing them all for 2TB drives. I'm happy with using the zpool replace command. I have replaced two so far, the second one is just re-silvering now. I currently only have...

I used the sed command as I am more familiar with that. Worked a treat. Thank you. FS

Thank you. Will give these a try. FS

Hi all, I am doing some hardware troubleshooting on my server meaning I need to startup/shutdown a fair bit. I am running about 60 VM's and they are all set to start at boot. Is there a way I can global inhibit all VM's from starting until I'm done with my troubleshooting? Appreciate I could go...

Perfect. Thank you. That did the trick. :)

Hi all, I need some help getting my network configuration setup correctly, please. Below is my current setup which is working. I have started making use of VLANs and I have set all my virtual machines to VLAN 10 in their network configuration. This is working, in that they are getting assigned...

Thanks. Will take a look at that. However, after getting the 10GTech Intel specific SFP+ modules it all working. Lesson learned. Pay attention to module compatibility. I have both SFP+ ports configured as a bond and the bond assigned to my bridge. All working well. FS

Actually reading up on this more it seems like it may be the SFP+ module itself that is incompatible. As the log says really. Didn't click straight away. The modules I’m using are 10GTech ones, compatible with most switches but apparently not so compatible with Intel. I have 2 Intel compatible...
