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

    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...

    Exporting datastores or backups to external hdd/sdd

    Hi, I am facing the need to export backups off-site offline.

    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...

    Maybe an idea

    When running VMs and containers on a PVE node either clustered to other nodes or not and some particular updates are pushed to the update repository (like updates to the kernel and other pve services), should we restart the nodes after applying these updates or not ?

    Scheduling automatic restorations
