The documentation seems to lack any info on error handling / exit codes when using the backup client. It would be useful to include such documentation / example of errors so that we can create backup scripts to backup hosts / other systems to PBS reliably. The intention is to convert our...

+1 for this!

Yes the new proxmox backup system would indeed solve the issue of backing up proxmox clusters, in an efficient and safe manner. However for our use case we use our backup nodes with borg not only for proxmox but for many other systems and use cases. We'd have to completely redesign and...

Here's what I use to achieve this. I have a 3 node cluster which backups up VM's into an NFS share (located on one of the nodes). For this reason, didn't want to use a VZDUMP hook script to avoid locking issues with borg. So I run this script via cron (from the node that stores the vzdump...

pvesh get /cluster/resources --type vm --output-format yaml | egrep -i 'vmid|name' | paste - - -d, Is how I do this. You can direct the output to a file or pipe it into the next command. You can obviously filter (egrep) for whatever parameters you need / want etc

The vzdump is compressed with LZO, the lzop --to-stdout -d is decompressing it before it's piped to BORG. The reason being to improve the deduplication. If you send the compressed vzdump directly to borg, in my testing you get approximately 20% deduplication (on VM which hasn't changed much...

@tom - thanks. I can confirm the patch works

Is there any update on this bug? It was logged in bugzilla 5 days ago, but there are no further updates or estimated fix date. This is a critical bug which renders Proxmox environments using cloudinit and Ceph as fundamentally broken. A bug fix (whether temporary or otherwise), or a roll...
