This is more than one year ago. I have since canceled my servers. While I did cluster them, I can't remember how exactly I did it. I've "downsized" to a single virtual server, so I don't use Proxmox anymore...

Well, I'm not using those, but I guess that if the backup is one large file, my script could be modified to do the same with it. The critical point is: you can't diff a GZ file (or more precisely, you could, but the implementation of the binary diff program is bugged and it doesn't work). That...

Your reply doesn't really answer my question in a clear way. Are you saying that LessFS comes with some tools that not only manage a local file system, but also provide efficient synchronization between computers over a network? So you then use those tools instead of say, rsync, to get your...

I'm afraid I don't fit in "personal use", so it's nothing for me, but thanks anyway. I'm not dead against commercial products; it's just that they usually only actually save you money on a large scale, not on a small-to-medium one. 15 USD per month is fine, but 500 USD isn't, and most products...

I must be missing something ... I understand that deduplication save space, but how does it save bandwidth? If I download a deduplicated full backup from my Internet server into my home test server, with sftp or rsync, then a full backup goes over the net. How else could it be? Happy new year...

OK, I tried again. From both the "normal" and the "basic" uploader I get the message: The following errors occurred: diffBackup.py: Invalid FileTrying it with an HTTP URL gives the same result. The file is about 14K. Then I tried to zip it and it finally worked; does the uploader only accepts...

Have a look at this other thread http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/5386-Incremental-backup where I posted a link to a script that uses xdelta3.

I don't really know how to do this. I tried uploading an attachment, but the page says "Uploads not utilized within one hour will be deleted" which makes the whole concept of uploading files pointless. And I tried to PM you, but it says I do not have the rights to do that. So I gave up and...

Alright, I've got a working python script that can make differential backups from the full vzdump backups, and the other way around. It's "alpha", but if you really need it, I could send it to you (or anyone else).

Hi! Normally, I have the following run once a day as a cron job: vzdump --snapshot --size 16384 --compress --maxfiles 7 --allBut today I wanted an extra backup, in addition to the 7 old ones, so I ran manually: vzdump --snapshot --size 16384 --compress --alland it made the new backup, but...

I'm working on something like that. I could give it to you when it works...

I found out through this page here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/vzdump.1.html that vzdump used to support an xdelta option to do differential backups, and that it eventually got removed, but I could not find the reason why. I have never used xdelta, therefore I have no...

After solving my /etc/hosts issue (in the host) by making it immutable, I still couldn't create a cluster. After a bit I found out hat it was due to Cluster.pm, so I tried to "fix" it like this: root@hydra:/usr/share/perl5/PVE# diff Cluster.pm.bak Cluster.pm 182c182,183 < my $localip =...

IMHO, one of the sentences on the page: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Central_Web-based_Management is misleading: To me, "access" doesn't just mean having a look at the configuration and resource usage, but also actually being able to log into the VM and perform admin tasks. While you can log...

I have vmbr0 defined as: "address 10.254.254.254", according to some How-To telling you how to setup Shorewall as Firewall. eth0 is my real Internet IP. Unfortunately Proxmox points the hostname to vmbr0 IP in /etc/hosts, instead of eth0 IP. I've exchanged many emails with the support of my...

vzdump support the following modes: --stop --suspend --snapshot I've tried them all on my VE. While --stop guaranties consistent data, is there any advantage to using --suspend instead of --snapshot? Are backups with --suspend "more consistent" the --snapshot? Since the running applications...

No, no. I mean that I installed a Debian Lenny System (because my Provider doesn't allow me to use my own images), upgraded it to Squeeze to get GRUB (I failed to get GRUB installed on Lenny), and then installed Proxmox 1.6 on top. I have done this on 4 servers. This works perfectly well so far...

I'm using Proxmox 1.6 on a Debian Squeeze Host. I have the following issue. The IP of eth0 and vmbr0 is different, and the hostname is mapped in /etc/hosts to the vmbr0 IP (which is a "private" IP, just for the VE) instead of the eth0 IP, which is a public Internet IP. I want the mapping to be...

Thanks for the tip! I found many post on the subject. BTW, I was wrong with kill -3 ; it also work in OpenVZ/VE. It seems to be a Tomcat issue.

I'm trying to port a VirtualBox VM to Proxmox as a VE. I've got things kind of working, but my Java portal (Liferay) sometimes hangs for ever (5+ minutes) before returning a page. It's not a memory problem; I am using 2GB from 12GB ram. That is my main problem, but to solve it, I have to be able...
