Ok, I found it: it's the change to Proxmox VE itself. I updated from 7 to 8 and with that the (automatic) behavior regarding IPv6 must have changed. A NIC which did not have an IPv6 address before did so now. And as the firewall did not allow such traffic, the verification of the subscription...

Hello, my subscription key ckeck fails with "Connection error - Timeout.". In the beginning this worked but not since 2023-08-10. The subscription is valid until 2024-07-30. Where can I check for a more detailed error log? Thanks!

You're welcome. The sync feature built into PBS works only if there is a second PBS on your remote site. If you have "just a normal server" there you could think about syncing your datastore via rsync. Or - if the connection is fast and reliable - you could mount a remote filesystem into your...

Is Proxmox Backup Server installed on the machine at OVH? If so you can use the "sync" feature (located as a tab at every datatstore) of PBS to copy (better: pull) your local backups to the remote machine.

Hi there! Question is, what does cloud mean to you? If you have your own servers you could install a PBS instance there and sync the datastore from your on-premises installation(s) with the sync functionality built into PBS. Regards

I do, too. Especially as I mounted the shares in the first place via NFS to PBS 1 where the backups were created and now to PBS 2 to copy the contents to the local drive - doing nothing different. Unfortunately I currently don't have the time to do a full investigation... :(

I forced a verify-run now by configuring a verify job with "skip verified: no". Works. And I found a better way to rename directories with bogus characters: for dir in *; do mv "${dir}" $(echo "${dir}" | sed -e 's/[^A-Za-z0-9._-]/:/g') done

Thanks again for your help! This command helps to clean the directory names: mmv -r '2021-*T??*00*0?Z' '2021-#1T#2#3:00:0#6Z'. After that I do see all the snapshots in the GUI again. When trying to verify a selected snapshot I get SKIPPED: verify datastore-as:vm/100/2021-12-05T23:00:02Z...

Thanks for your reply! Yes, there is metadata: # ls -alR datastore-as datastore-as: total 1048 drwxr-xr-x 4 backup backup 4096 Dec 29 08:00 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 22 2021 .. drwxrwxrwx 1 backup backup 1056768 Jun 3 2021 .chunks -rw-r--r-- 1 backup backup 310...

I've got a followup question here: this worked once and now I tried it again. After copying the datastore contents (and chowning the copied directories on disk to backup:backup) I see e.g. "VM 8 Groups, 0 Snapshots" in the web GUI. PBS recognizes the different VMs but does not see the individual...

Great, thanks! During the rsync I should probably disable the services proxmox-backup and proxmox-backup-proxy to "freeze" the state of the datastore, correct?

Hello, I've got a PBS pbs01 backing up some VMs adding up to something around 2 TB. This datastore I would like to sync to another off-site PBS pbs02. Unfortunately the network link between both PBSs comes across some relatively slow DSL-lines (~20 MBit/s). Is it therefore possible to i.e...

Thanks for making this clear! Then for the future my (very low priority) feature request would be to be able to globally change the default.

Hello everybody! With Datastore -> Options -> Notify I can configure, which user should be notified on which datastore operation. I can choose between "Default (Always)", "Always", "Errors" and "Never". Is it possible to change the "Default (Always)" to "Default (Errors)" system-wide? If this...

Yes, I configured a "Source Remote". And I figured out what was wrong: It's been my mistake, I misunderstood the roles named "Remote..." and used them on pbs01 for the sync user. But of course I need to use at least the role "DatastoreReader" for the user on pbs01 to allow pbs02 to pull data...

Hi again! When you mean by "Can I use only one remote for all?" only one remote server (with several datastores, one for each customer): yes. When you mean by "Can I use only one remote for all?" only one single datastore (for all customers together) on one single remote server: (currently) no...

Hello everybody, I try to configure a remote sync connection to pull backups from pbs01 to pbs02. Unfortunately on pbs02 the dropdown for "Source Datastore" in the "Add: Sync Job" dialog is and remains empty. In which logfile should I have a look to determine what I do wrong (general...

Thanks again! :)

As I just learned (see here): yes, but you should create a separate datastore for each sync job!
