Hello! we upgraded two of our PBS servers from 2.x to the current version 3.1.4 and while doing that we encountered an issue. Both servers are identical except that server 1 uses an additional 10G network card while server 2 got a 40G Intel card (XL710-BM2). The first server upgraded without...

Hello! i am currently experimenting around with the backup client. In short i am trying to find a suitable way to backup servers from root-level that are NOT on PVE (means bare metal servers, not VMs.) I managed to install the backup client on my ubuntu 22.04 test system without problems and...

Hi! quick question regarding backup protection inside the PBS: Is there a way to automatically schedule that a specific amount of backups will be marked with the protection flag automatically (for example "set the 2 most recent backups as protected" and automatically set/remove the flag when new...

Hi! i am currently a bit lost while trying to get a storage running. In my current setup i am trying to add two NFS storages to my cluster that both reside on the same server runnign with DRBD. The storage.cfg is definetely correct pointing to the right exports: Stor1 - export /mnt/drbd0...

Hi! i am running a cluster with multiple PVE nodes (all on Ver 7.4) but i am currently facing an issue with one of them. So now i would like to ask you for any hints, maybe i just simply overlooked something silly. I just recently joined two more nodes into the cluster, which worked without any...

Hi everyone! I am currently trying to understand the backup process on PVE hosts a bit more because i noticed a small issue lately that i am trying to resolve on my host. Basically i noticed my backup jobs for my LXC containers stopped working a while ago because it apparently runs out of space...

Hello! While trying to migrate one of my VMs in our cluster i noticed some unusual outputs from the task viewer: I've migrated a few vms before but never actually saw something like that before. I checked the most common PVE services but they all seem to work fine. I would also like to...

Hello! i had to edit some of my VMs and change their IDs because i accidently restored a wrong, old backup with an identical VM-ID. So i changed them to be unique which actually worked pretty well. But now i realized that with the changed IDs i cannot use my previously created backups on my PBS...

Hello! Is there a way inside the PBS or PVE to set a specific backup as "protected", so that it will for example excluded from pruning jobs etc.? If so: where can i set it? Thank you in advance for answers! Best regards

Hello, while restoring a vm backup over the pbs i noticed that the restore took a huge amount of time, multiple hours in fact which would be catastrophic for a productive system that needs to be restored in case of sudden crashes. So i tried to look into the possible reasons as of why the...

Hello, i am running into a minor inconvenience with one of our larger proxmox clusters and the related backup servers. About the environment: i am working with a rather big PVE cluster, including more than 5 nodes with a lot of VMs on each host. Those VMs back up on currently 2 PBS-Servers...

Hello, i am working with one Proxmox BS and multiple PVE servers and managed to configure it accordingly so that the pbs does backups of my vms regularly. But i have a question regarding the Backup schedules and the pruning of backups. Some of my VMs seem to do their backups just as intended...

Hello, i am currently trying to troubleshoot a problem with some of my windows server 2019 vms. They repeatedly lose network connectivity, regardless of the vm settings used. Rebooting the vm seems to solve the problem for a while until it reappears again. I already tried switching between...

Hello! i got a few backups on my local backup storage on my PVE server. Is there a way to move and migrate them to a new PBS? Do i have to transform the format of my backups? My current ones are all using vma / vma.lzo and as far as i know does the BS use a different format (meaning the .fidx...

Hallo! ich habe seit einiger Zeit einen automatisierten Verify auf meinem PBS laufen. Allerdings ist mir heute aufgefallen, dass auf einem Datastore meine Backups alle nicht mehr verifiziert werden können. Ein Blick in die Logs spricht dabei von: "unable to load chunk ... no such file or...

Hello Community! sorry in advance for this somewhat silly question but i cannot find the information i need and decided to ask here. I just recently found the PBS and i was wondering when exactly do i need to implement the backup client? Do i need to install the client for every server i want...
