I have a PBS running on NVME but the datastores are on ZFS arrays of HDD's. The problem is scheduled tasks can all run at once so you get in a situation where IO wait is like 30% because the disks are thrashing. I can't predict how long each task will take so I can't manage this with...

Hi All, Please to ignore the vast scope of this post. Its my experience and I'm not sure what the problem or what's possible at this point. TLDR; This is about problems running Proxmox for homelab / media centre on cheap unsupported hardware that's not well documented. I had a Mac Mini 2012...

I have 1 proxmox backup server fingerprint ED:ED:xxx etc. 5 of my servers have no problem with this but one of them is insisting that a different key is needed. vzdump backup status (elvis.xxxx.xxx) : backup failed: could not activate storage 'datastore-elvis': datastore-elvis: error...

I've got three mysql vms, running on latest proxmox. Server version: 10.6.5-MariaDB-1:10.6.5+maria~focal-log mariadb.org binary distribution. db1 - master, runs fine. db2 - slave, runs fine, no apparent corruption, passes mysqlcheck etc I am running backup to a proxmox backup server, but when...

Do you think it would be sensible to show the duration ias hh:mm:ss, or also in that format? 11398 seconds is a bit meaningless unless you can divide my 60 in your head.

Hi All, I'm trying to run MariaDB with the correct blocksizes to get best performance, either in a VM or LXC. With an LXC, I can set the recordsize on particular datasets on the host so that the container uses them. I guess this is one layer less of abstraction for the filesystem compared to...

I am running two pbs servers inside my home network. I can forward port 8007 -> 8007 for the first and 8107 -> 8007 for the second on my router so I can connect to them from outside. But I cannot add a PBS server on the gui with a port number on the external server. Is this possible some...

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I have a feature request. I have a backup server that has backups of usually around 10 machines per host so when browsing backups its hard to know which backup is which without cross referencing the ID numbers back to the pve host, just wondering if...

I'd like to backup my database on the hour, the backup server has retention policies for this but in pve you have to make 24 jobs as far as I can see, could pve benefit from the same date system used in pbs ?

Is running a 1Tb database better in a vm or a container in terms of if I want to take a backup every hour? I'm thinking maybe the vm backup is faster because it can use the dirty_bitmap but containers have to check all the files? Thanks, Jack

Hi All, Sorry I wasn't sure if this was a bug or where to report it so I'll just ask. I've got a container : NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE bigpool/subvol-100-disk-2 compression on inherited from bigpool bigpool/subvol-100-disk-2 recordsize...

Hola, I have a production server. I do nightly backups which take about 6 hours. I want local backups to restore as fast as possible so I have proxmox backup installed locally. In case the whole server is lost, I remote sync the backups to another proxmox backup server remotely. Backup data...

Hi All, I'm no expert, this isn't official advice, but if like me you have installed backup and PVE on the same box and are annoyed it's not sharing the same ssl as the PVE install read on... By default proxmox backup server doesn't use the same cert as your PVE when installed on the same box...

Before I discovered this, I ran containers with the data on a separate volume so I could exclude the data volume from normal backup and use restic to backup the data volume. e.g, you have a mysql container which is a few gigs, but 1Tb of mysql data, so you put the data it on a separate volume...

I'm using Proxmox 5.4.31 at OVH, and installed using their Proxmox ZFS template. The entire disk is a ZFS filesystem, but it shows as a local directory in the storage panel. I guess this is more flexible since otherwise you can't store ISO images etc, because block devices only allows Disk...
