    [SOLVED] Where can I save VM-data backup?

    To be clear though, you can backup your MS SQL server hourly to PBS. Just schedule an hourly backup job and it's done. No windows client required. I backup my Windows server daily and it is no different than my dozens of Linux servers.

    [SOLVED] Where can I save VM-data backup?

    I think it would be unwise to treat your PBS as a "cobbled-together" samba file server. PBS is for backing up Proxmox PVE containers and vms. It could be done, but you have no idea of the unintended consequences that could arise on the next upgrade.

    [SOLVED] Where can I save VM-data backup?

    Right. Two options: Create a share on any one of your VMs or CTs and do the SQL dump to there. It will be backed up by PBS as usual. Just do a Snapshot backup of your SQL server - it captures all of the ram/temp files. I was once a MSSQL Certified Database Admin and Developer - so I...

    PVE 7: Extra mount point not visible in summary

    I have added a second mount point to my samba container and it is working fine. I can see it in the /resources view of PVE GUI but it is not in the /summary view. Is this the expected behaviour? Ideally I 'd like to see it's status at a glance in the gui.

    [SOLVED] Where can I save VM-data backup?

    Are you saying that you have a backup system (not Proxmox) running inside of your Windows server - i.e. HyperV - and you want THAT to have somewhere to backup to? Seems a very bad idea, but in case this is your scenario, you could spin up a Samba server on a PVE Container outside of your...

    PBS: How to back up physical servers?

    I didn't ASK anything. I came to HELP someone in need of assistance. Your grumpy responses help nobody. Anyhow, let's end this here please.

    Safe to change timezone on a Ceph cluster?

    Background: Having my cluster on UTC means that Debian is choosing the .nl time servers. In Check_MK, I see that these checks sometimes don't happen for up to two hours (alerts at 35 minutes without NTP check). Rather than change the factory PVE settings, I prefer to either adjust monitoring...

    PBS: How to back up physical servers?

    I believe that physical backups are on the roadmap. But for now I work with the idea that there is not much data stored on the hosts (or the PBS servers themselves) and that they are fairly quick to rebuild from a blank image. Our company simply images the hosts in case of emergency. (i.e...

    Howto Rename Datastore

    Wow, that was simple. Didn't even need to reboot; I could see from the shell that the name updated in the Datastore menu (gui) almost immediately. This is going to make migrating the store to another disk a lot easier.

    [SOLVED] Memory Usage on empty node with Ceph

    I'm noticing the same behaviour in a 3-node cluster - that RAM count just keeps climbing until reboot (very un-linux, I know). I actually went and bought more RAM; worried I was underestimating how much RAM CEPH required. So to be clear, over time, Linux is going to eventually use ALL (or "a...

    [SOLVED] Is possible Reinstall PBS and Recover all BackUPs?

    Just adding a comment; I found this thread afraid of exactly AlfredoF experience. II really wish there were a way to backup my PBS to disk, or to treat the store as a NAS and back that up using a whole range of tools (Datto, Synology etc.) and store offsite. Doing a PBS->PBS sync will only...

    Customize LXC container image - systemd-nspawn missing?

    Wow. Just spent considerable time researching DAB and Distrobuilder and all I need to do is customize an existing container and save it. I feel both foolish and gratified at the same time. Perfect solution. Thanks!

    rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU

    This just started happening to me this week on servers that have never seen a problem. Today four of my VMs are all console-locked with the "rcu_sched self-detected stalls on..." . Important note however, they are all RUNNING just fine, I just no longer have console access. It kind of...

    rootfs questions

    I'm just trying to decide (for monitoring) if I should just ignore the error, or does it mean something is broken? Blinking red lights are hard to ignore.

    [SOLVED] command 'apt-get update' failed: exit code 100

    Another cause: After upgrading my cluster to Proxmox 6 I got the apt-get error 100 on all nodes. Turns out I forgot to disable the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/corosync3.list. Anything that breaks apt is usually pretty simple to troubleshoot; run apt-get update manually and read the error.

    Proxmox VE Version:2.2-26/c1614c8c with attached NAS array backup rotation problem

    If you are running two backup jobs daily and your max backups = 5, will both automated backups respect this limit and delete jobs from the "other" backup? ie. will AM_BACKUP of VM105 delete the backups from PM_BACKUP of VM105?
