I have virtualised my Windows workstation which has 3 virtual disks. I'm trying to configure a nightly backup job to PBS which only includes one of the disks as I don't need to backup the whole window system every night. It seems that you can only choose to backup selected disks at the VM guest...

I have my dev server dual xeon setup as a workstation with multiple VM's and passthrough a couple of nvidia gpu's and USB for headset. All works great I can snapshot, backup test configs etc brilliant except for one error on my main Win10 machine. I use dragon dictate (RSI issue) and if I set...

I have read the documentation but I'm struggling to understand how the network speed is working. I have virtualised my win 10 workstation from physical to proxmox guest with pci passthrough for usb and gpu. I also run Windows and Linux file servers and opnsense as guests on same host which is...

I use snapshots for default configurations of guests testing software. Therefore I often make changes and need to roll back. It would be very useful if the current state of the guest ie "You are here" also included the date the guest was last shutdown or snapshot date if rolled back. At the...

I have vanilla clean win 10 guest i use for test installs of our application ie I roll back and forth frequently when testing configurations. Storage is sata ssd ext4 qcow2. The roll back takes 20+ mins when there have been minimal changes. Our install is 200mb at most. Rollback for a mac guest...

Hello, PVE 7.0.11 I can passthrough a USB hub as pci and all is ok. Howerver If I try and passthrough a usb device by port or vendor id the drop down list in pve is empty. Anyone seen this. I am trying to split the ports between two Vm's Thanks Paul

I have passed through a graphics card for virtual machine I use rarely. Mainly for for testing so it's generally off. However I have noticed the graphic card heatsink is warm so using a bit of power. Is there any way this can be disabled ? Thanks Paul

Hello, I have twice attempted to move a disk from sata ssd raw format to nvme qcow2 and get the following error. Proxmox 7.0.11 qemu-img: error while writing at byte 199715880960: Input/output error qemu-img: Failed to flush the L2 table cache: Read-only file system qemu-img: Failed to flush...

Hello, I have setup a zentyal guest with raw as the file format for the guest OS. Zentyal inc samba file sharing. I would appreciate some feedback as the best way to organise the file sharing before I go copying 100Gb of files. The proxmox host does not have zfs as it's a mirror raid system. I...

I have archived a virtual machine which has been launched for a couple of months and on start I get "A disk read error has occurred. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart" This is on boot. I've restored the backup from PBS which only took a few seconds. So that is strange as its a large image. The disk...

In case anyone else this confused by this. Following these instructions to upgrade from v1 to v2 using the shell in the web browser. You may encounter the screen below. This is very confusing. If you scroll down using the browser scrollbar to the bottom and there is an option Q to quit. If you...

I have a clean install of PBS with 2 * 1Tb Mirror raid. I realise HDD are not optimal but this is a small home network and backups are mainly archive. However the install has used up all space on the first 1Tb mirror as lvm. This would appear to be a lot of wasted space. Is it possible to...

Clean install today of version 7 on server with 6*ssd and 128gb ram. I have a large 127GB windows qcow2 file which is too big to upload via sftp into the local ext4 storage. Therefore I have mounted an NFS share from my Windows server. Mounted the nfs data store and I am running qm importdisk...

I have read the documentation and I am assuming that the prune settings ie keep last 5 apply per guest vm and not the total number of backups on the data store. It might be an idea to put this in the documentation. Can somebody confirm. Thank you Paul

Hello, I have a working setup of PVE6 and PBS 1. I'm trying to establish if we can use PBS as an archive for virtual machines we are no longer using in the live environment. So we backup the PVE guest to PBS then delete from live system. The primary reason for doing this is to free up storage...
