Hello Forum, I'm using PBS with my PVE cluster. I also have one PVE server that is standalone (not in the cluster). I backup to a PBS server from both the standalone server and the cluster. I've noticed that when I backup from the standalone server, and when I look at the PVE storage for my...

Hello Forum, I'm testing the upgrade of my PVE test node to use kernel 5.19 to fix an issue I've been having with my PBS backups. So far my backup problems are resolved now that I've upgraded this host to kernel 5.19. But I've noticed that if I use the standard apt dist-upgrade command this...

Hello Forum, I'm hoping someone can assist or point me in the right direction on how to get monitoring from Zabbix to my Proxmox servers working. I found this post in the Proxmox forums related to what I'm doing. The solution was to re-issue the API key. I've tried this but I still can't get...

Hello Forum, Currently there doesn't appear to be an update that would solve my problem of mail FROM for notification messages is root@host.domain.com. I would like then to add to my Zabbix Monitoring Server templates and/or plugins to help me determine the following: status of backups...

Hello Forum, We run SQL Server 2016 on a Windows 2019 VM in Proxmox 6.4-6. I found this forum post from the proxmox tweaks page - https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/windows-guest-high-context-switch-rate-when-idle.5770/ This post mentions "Setting the trace flag -T8038 will drastically...

Hello Forum, On my Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) I have within options the ability to set an "email from address". This allows me to receive emails from my PVE server. But on PBS there appears to not be a similar option. This means all my emails get stuck so to speak and can't be...

Hello Forum, Referring to this post I found: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/find-vms-with-lock.54492/post-251027 It says to install "jq" and use the following command: pvesh get /nodes/$(hostname)/qemu --output-format=json | jq -cr '.[] | select(.["lock"]) | .["vmid"]' to check for VM's...

Hello Team, Now that PBS has been released as 1.0 Stable (Congratulations!), how will subscriptions work when using PBS? I have subscriptions for my Proxmox PVE nodes already. Can I use the same type of subscription and add it to my PBS server and receive enterprise updates or do I need to...

Hello Forum, I'm running PBS on two Supermicro Servers (48 GB Ram each). Server 2 syncs datastore from server 1. So far it's working very well. We have a second building down the street from our main office connected through a site to site VPN. I'd like to setup a small server into this...

Hello Team, Tuxis has opened an enhancement to allow PBS servers to push instead of pull backups. I wanted to bring this up to the community as I think it's an excellent suggestion. https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3044 The enhancement is to have PBS Push instead of Pull backups...

Hello Team, I've setup two PBS servers in our office. PBS01 is my primary and I'm backing up to this server daily. PBS02 is my secondary server and it sync all backups from PBS01 on a regular schedule throughout the day. To each VM I've added a backup storage for PBS01 and PBS02. I did a...

Hello, I've setup one datastore for my PBS and testing is so far going well. After seeding my subsequent backups are running very fast and storage used is reduced a lot. I have various types of VM's in my office: Database servers that change often due to data being input Destkops that are...

Hello Team, Just installed PBS and it's working great so far! Really liking the space and time saving using dedupe for my VM's. I've setup a second PBS and I have sync scheduled twice per day. Is there a way to add an email to the sync job to confirm success/fail of the scheduled sync? Thank...

Hello, Our employees who have email are beginning to receive daily spam report emails from our Proxmox Mail Gateway. I would prefer these daily spam reports be sent instead to our network administrator as it will be their daily task to review/action spam for our employees. Is there a way to...

Hello Team, I backup some of my Proxmox VM's to a shared drive on a Windows server in our server room. I'm looking at the space on this drive and discovered 3 hidden files with no extension. They all begin with 'cifs' and have numbers after them. They are quite large where one of the three...

Hello Forum, I have a VM I'd like to ensure is always running. So in case it gets turned off I have a process in place on my Proxmox Host that will turn it back on. The only time I wouldn't want this process to turn the VM on is when I'm running a backup of the VM from a scheduled Proxmox...

Hello, I've created a new cluster (4 nodes) and upgraded to the latest version 4.3-1/e7cdc165. I have purchased the Proxmox basic subscription for our office. I've been doing some testing on my weekly backups whereby the backup should stop the VM, take the backup then start it back up again...

Hello, I running Proxmox 4.1-15. I've found that if I schedule a backup job either in a cluster or on a standarlone proxmox host (all using the same version), my scheduled backup fails with errors. The VM should then restart but that fails as well. When I wake up the next morning to check...

Hello Proxmox, Hopefully I've posted this in the correct forum. I'm interested in better understanding Open vSwitch within our environment. I'm running a cluster of Proxmox Hosts and will be connecting them to Ceph. All Ceph and Proxmox servers will run Proxmox 4.1 and will be in the same...
