I'm using FreeNAS scheduled snapshots and sharing the storage via NFS. In Proxmox you can also take snapshots. For backup I'm using Proxmox Backup Server (excellent system). The scheduled snapshot in FreeNAS are not visible in Proxmox so I have to handle them in FreeNAS. The snapshot taken in...

If you look direct in the FreeNAS server - are all VM disks there? I did'n read all above. I have never used the FreeNAS plugin but if you make it easier and distribute the disks via NFS from FreeNAS and connect that NFS share in Proxmox, then you avoid the extra FreeNAS plugin. What's the...

Good point. I work for the government so this can be a good point.

Thank you both, I agree with you. However, it is difficult to use open source as an argument to someone who believes that Microsoft is the standard that everyone should use. We also use Proxmox Backup server and it is even better than expected to be version 1.0. We also using Veeam but onlu...

Hi, we have been using Proxmox VE for all our virtualization for many years. Now, however, my boss has decided to listen to our IT operations partner, who believes that Hyper-V is much better, probably because they know it better. The discussion started because we had problems with our storage...

Hi, is there any setting that allows backup logs to be sent only once a day? I back up about 30 VMs and get many backup logs via email every day. It would be better with one letter with all the logs. /PelleH

I have a question in the same area. If I have a Proxmox server with 2 CPU and 72 cores. I set up only one VM and give it 1 core - will the VM use only one core on the physical server? I ask because I have some applications that are licensed per core.

Ok, thanks for that. I did order two 1,6TB NVMe and with 0,02 it will complete the task. I will try with those disks and see how much space metadata takes up after a few weeks of backup.

Thanks. That will be big disks for special device. If we have around 60TB it will be 1,8TB.

The 6 disk will probably be a Raidz-2. All backups will be VM storage. There are a mix of Windows and Linux VM.

Hi, I will set up a Proxmox backup server to backup our Proxmox clusters. There are total 9 nodes (6 in one and 3 nodes in one). There are approximately 40 VM and they are using 10TB disk space. I will set up maybe 6 SAS 18TB spinning disks for this and now my question: How big should the...

When you would remove a snapshot it is to easy to click on "Rollbak" and you only get one Yes/No question - same if you hit the right button "Remove". I suggest that for Rollback the same verification is required as for deleting a server, you need to enter the server ID. It's a bit painful to...

HI, we have a Proxmox VE 4 cluster and two storage servers with FreeNAS. Normally we use one of the FreeNAS servers for VM storage and the other for backup of files and snapshots. There are plenty of storage space on both of them. Now I want a function/script to move all virtual disks from one...

We hade the same problem and it was the NAS that was the problem. We are using FreeNAS and we had forget to bind the right NIC to the NFS service, see image,

Thank you very much! It works excellent!

Hi, I'm trying to mount a folder on host in one virtual Container server. I have created the file /etc/vz/conf/109.mount and put this inside: #!/bin/bash . /etc/vz/vz.conf . ${VE_CONFFILE} SRC=/mnt/disk01 DST=/mnt/disk01 if [ ! -e ${VE_ROOT}${DST} ]; then mkdir -p ${VE_ROOT}${DST}; fi mount -n...
