    Does backups on different namespaces share chunks ?

    Hielo, Does backups on different namespaces or on Root of datastore and namespaces under that Root share chunks in terms of deduplication ? If I backup a server on the Root of the datastore and then change backup destination to a namespace under that Root, does Proxmox Backup Server take into...

    Size on special device for metadata cache

    Hi, Using commodity hardware for PBS, on which it's not possible to install more than one nvme ssd in case it supports nmv. Datacenter class devices either spinning discs or ssd also either U2 or nvme are not available on all countries. Datacenter class devices are sold and only available within...

    Where is the bottleneck ? More than 3 days to restore a vm over lan

    In fact, this is vm contains daily synced copies of nas shares. It used to be a container but backups where slow so i made a vm to take advantage of dirty bitmaps/blocks so when doing backups the pbs clients doesn't need to browse all disc to detect changed and unchanged files/blocks. I'm also...

    Where is the bottleneck ? More than 3 days to restore a vm over lan

    Yes Single zfs disc on both sides (os, either pve or pbs are on their one hard drives). I can't afford SSDs prices for now, especially large ones, and combining several of them to obtain large amount of space requires special motherboards, not comodity onces, for now, as you may have...

    Where is the bottleneck ? More than 3 days to restore a vm over lan

    Hi, First of all, thanks to the proxmox team for the great software they are making and also for making it open source. The following is not a critisism but i want to understand what am i doing wrong. It took me more than 73 hours to restore à 3.7Tb vm over a gigabyte lan. I have been unable...

    Slow restore performance

    "but you can delegate the pruning to the PBS doing the sync in this case to avoid that." How can we do this ? How can we delegate pruning the local PBS to the remote PBS ? From that i have understood, the local pbs is not even aware of the remote pbs doing syncs.

    Suggestion: PVE/Cluster dashboard

    Hi, In backups I have this : I think there is room for another column like the "Next Run" column, to show "Latest Run" and with a color to indicate either it was successful or did it fail. or here after, there is room for another widget to show the health of scheduled backups : TIA. Fathi B.N.

    Guest without backup jobs as an entry in the Selection mode for new backup popup menu

    Hi, I find it useful that proxmox shows me which guests have no backup job definded. Could this information be made available to another menu ? When adding a new job, we have four menu items: "include selected VMs, ALL, Exclude selected VMs, Pool base". I think it could be useful to add an entry...

    Performance-cores vs Efficient-cores

    So one could reserve the E cores for PVE itself and provision the P cores to VMs and containers. By the way, what is the ration, when having enough cpus and a lot of vms, of the cores to reserve to pve and the ones to provision to vms ? I read somewhere that pve needs 4Gb ram and 4 cpus for...

    Performance-cores vs Efficient-cores

    Hi, The latest intel i7 processors seem to be capped at 8 Performance-cores while paying more money gives you more Efficient-cores. 1) Should we ? I mean, is there really any benefit for PVE to increase the number of Efficient-cores ? I feel that price could go exponentially while performance go...

    Apparently two similar tools for the same purpose, so which one to choose

    Thanx for this reply. Now, i understand, it's just integration with other solutions. I though it was something else (I though that pve will auto deploy a ready to use phpimapm or netbox VM/container and integrate it with itself as a plugin to enhance pve functions.)

    I have non problem with. It seems juste unudial to include différent tools for the same purpose. It may be confusing.

    Apparently two similar tools for the same purpose, so which one to choose

    Hi, I am very happy with what i have seen i the youtube introduction of PVE 8.1 and think that the new features are major ones. When i upgraded one of my clusters, I have seem that pve 8.1 includes phpipam and netbox, which are both labeled as ipam tools even though they are quite different. So...

    Just an idea

    Hi, Would it be possible to show nic health in system==>Network menu as is done with S.M.A.R.T information for discs ? People managing PVE servers are often far from the server room and seeing led status of a failed nic is not possible, so they could loose hour(s) looking in wrong directions...

    Archiving to external HDD and deduplication

    Thank you @LnxBil . Didn't think of the corrupt block on which depends several vm backups that could compromise them all. Thank you again for having pointed that out.

    Exporting datastores or backups to external hdd/sdd

    Thank you @Dunuin . Missed the sync to another local datastore option that could emulate that export function. Also very interresting the zfs send | zfs receive option. Thank you.

    Exporting datastores or backups to external hdd/sdd

    Hi, I am facing the need to export backups off-site offline. From what i have understood, and to simplify, bakups are stored in (fixed size for vms, variable size for containers) files called chunks. And that the set of chunks that makes a backup is stored in indexes, thus allowing chunks to be...

    Archiving to external HDD and deduplication

    Hi, I have a promox ve server, backing to a proxmox backup server with all the benefits of pbs. I would like to also backup/archive to an external hdd once a week and take that hdd off-site offline. This VM disk is around 3.2TB of size and could go up to 5.7TB in the future without adding...
