    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.)

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

    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...

    PBS client for freebsd

    Hi, Is there any plans for a PBS client for freebsd ? This would allow people running freebsd servers to send backups to pbs. In my case i would like to be able to backup truenas sahres to pbs. TIA. Fathi.

    datastore mount services disappeared

    Hi, For an unknown reason /etc/systemd/system/mnt-datastore-xxx.mount and /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mnt-datastore-xxx.mount are no more available and i have to mount all datastores manually on one of my proxmox backup servers. Upgrading to version 3 didn't solve this issue...

    Global containers and VMs offline catalogue

    Hi, It happens, more than we would like, that a server/disc/controller crashes and that the relevant proxmox node becomes marked as offline. The problem is that containers and vms hosted on this node become irrelevant numbers. Add to this, that when creating new VMs/containers or restoring ones...

    Hi, I have a message about a bad chunk on my pbs dashbord. What does this mean ?

    Maybe an idea

    Hi, We are often led to create virtual machines or test containers for the needs of different project managers, poc, demonstrations, events, ... that we forget to destroy and which sometimes end up becoming production environments without having passed the necessary tests. My proposal is to have...

    Recovering PBS datastores from a system disc crash

    Found two other files under /etc/systemd/system. It seems that the datastores are mounted as services. The system files have strange characters in the file names.

    Recovering PBS datastores from a system disc crash

    Created /mnt/datastore and missing subdirectories. Mounted each subdirectory to the corresponding disk partition (data store). Now, i can see my previous backups. This is a temporary measure. There are probably other things missing. Original /etc/fstab from previous installation doesn't contain...

    Recovering PBS datastores from a system disc crash

    I have recovered the /etc/proxmox-backup directory and copied all .cfg files to the newly installed system disk. Now, I am getting errors when trying to visualize any of the datastores contents: unable to open chunk store 'local-sdb-sata3-1T' at "/mnt/datastore/local-sdb-sata3-1T/.chunks" - No...
