I really like this idea. Keep the drop-downs from before, and provide a textfield for advanced configuration. That would be more intuitive, because the UI would handle syntax transparently. The advanced textbox could be empty or contain a sensible default. Many users would be able to serve their...
Yes, the timezone would be even more pertinent information to larger environments managed from multiple timezones.
I find both the server's timezone and the web browser's time zone pertinent. In the OP screenshot, both are being used on the same page (compared in red) without any explicit...
Upon further investigation, I suspect that the discrepancy in the backup scheduling time might be related to a mismatch between the timezone of my web browser and the Proxmox server. This could very well be the root cause of the confusion in the displayed time.
I would prefer that the "Next...
I am writing to report a potential bug I have encountered in Proxmox version 7.4-15.
My issue pertains to the backup scheduling feature. I have set a backup schedule as follows: "mon,tue,wed,thu,fri 18:15" (please refer to the attached screenshot). However, in the display of the next run time...
I am writing to request a feature enhancement to the web interface's built-in backup utility. As it stands, the utility allows for deletion of one backup at a time, which can be time-consuming when managing large numbers of backups. Furthermore, the current design does not maintain scroll...
Dear Proxmox Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report an issue I have encountered while using Proxmox VE 7.4-3. The problem is specific to keyboard input when using the "Console" tab on a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine.
This retired VM contains a virus...
@dcsapak provided some informative links that address why the VMA file format exists:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/vma-archive-restore-outside-of-proxmox.14226/post-474057
This sheds some light as to why VMAs are not as rsync-friendly as true raw image files are between off-site backups. I...
@dcsapak Thank you putting my concerns to rest. I found this link especially informative. This also sheds light as to why VMAs are not as rsync-friendly as true raw image files are between off-site backups. I understand that PBS addresses this in ways that rsync cannot.
What purpose does VMA serve that isn't served by a raw image file? I seriously don't understand why VMA exists. I speculate that it exists exclusively to deter migration to Proxmox KVM alternatives? If that's the reason, do you see the irony? The only reason I'd ever consider migrating to an...
There's no doubt that PBS is superior, but prior to PVE 7, my automated rsync offsite backups were reasonably efficient.
After PVE 7.0, it doesn't matter if the backup file is a compression of none, LZO, GZIP, or ZSTD; all of them seem to be either "randomized or encrypted" (at a low level) to...
@t.lamprecht
First of all, thank you for directly addressing each of my concerns/speculations.
While the UI may not be a regression in terms of flexibility, it is certainly a regression in terms of intuitiveness. Previously, without reading any documentation (and without any worry of malformed...
On my 4K displays, those fonts looked perfect. Never the less, I've shrunken them down as requested. The screenshots probably look magnified too (due to 4K capturing twice as many pixels as is typical). Hopefully, it is at least readable now. @Huch @Spirog
I've been holding back a long time, but I've decided to go ahead and say what's on my mind.
This is the most overloaded drop-down-menu I've ever seen and it needs to be changed back to how it was before! :
Instead of trying to use one drop-down to set "day of week" and "Start Time" (at the...
Thank you. Your explanation, regarding this topic, is the best I've read so far. @Dunuin
Both actually. This NTFS external drive is plugged into a (non-proxmox) Ubuntu 20.04 server.
Even though the drive is external, it is mounted via fstab with the following line...
@Dunuin Thanks for the reply.
I don't understand what is so special about privileged or unprivileged LXC containers, that they cannot be encapsulated into a file that gets transferred to a NFS share in the same manner as all other backups!
In my thinking, a backup is just a file that contains...
I've never encountered anything like this before. Typically, any sender will not send any faster than what is acknowledge by the receiver; the sender simply sends as fast as can be received and no faster than that. The TCP protocol has built-in features that regulate this type of thing.
Also...
The VM disk are virtio, as shown in the screenshots above.
For the backup target, I'm using an Ubuntu 20.04 NFS share, running on a intel core duo, with an enterprise hard drive that has plenty of free space. These types of backups succeed when compression does not equal none. Why would simply...
Are you talking about the log you see in the Web interface during backup? There were two of these.
The first is from the "snapshot mode backup", where I was able to successfully stop the backup.
The 2nd is from when I tried a "stop mode backup", where I had a failed attempt to resume during...
