This is one of the reasons why you have another PBS server that you sync from the primary PBS. The secondary PBS should be very restrictive on who have access. Another tip is don't use root on PBS for PVE to access. Create a new PBS account with restrictive permissions that PVE can use to...

Might be something to do with the MTU on Wireguard. Wireguard generally don't have any restrictions on bandwidth. Wireguard will use much bandwidth as you give it. Sometimes ISPs mangle the MTUs on their network which result in poor performance. Some protocols are sensitive to that.

What does SMART values on the drive say?

The riscv64 emulation in ProxMox would be flippin cool as Risc-V is gaining steam in development. It won't take over ARM or x86 anytime soon but over time it might.

I too been stung by this. From what I understand Debian won't do this again for a long time. To me it's better to let the changes happen and then fix the interfaces so they start working again using the new naming scheme. Lucky for me at work I use iDrac9 so it's easy to go in and fix the...

I would look into using vmware's own ovf tool which will let you export the VMs directly out of vmware and then you can use qemu-img convert to convert them over. I've done this a few times way before the native tool was added to ProxMox. You run the tool directly on PVE which will connect...

Look into setting up remotes on your PBS. Then go to your datastor to setup the sync jobs.

I run my backups on my three PVE servers at home and they all run in parallel several times a day without much of a noticeable difference in VM and container's performance. The backups actually only take a few mins as it's doing it incrementally. The only time I've seen backups take bit longer...

Yep. I run my servers at home so those old Dell poweredge servers are just too noisy for it. lol.

For ransomware protection I would simply lock down PBS with restricted ACL controls. Don't use root to access unless you have to. I've set my PVE hosts with a backup role only on PBS so it can do the usual backups but PVEs can not delete any of the VMs or modify the previous backups. You...

I use Uptime Kuma (docker) to monitor my VMs. It can send me an e-mail when the VM or host is up or down. Plus it can monitor latency, services and etc. Real easy to set up and configure.

While I agree on used server hardware just putting it out there that I am running a gaming motherboard as this one is the only one I could find that supports ECC memory for my Ryzen 9 5950X ASUS AMD AM4 ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, WiFi 6, 2.5Gbps LAN, Dual M.2, SATA...

Yes, it does take a very long time to restore as PBS have to reassemble all the chucks. Plus at the end it does final clean up before the job ends.

I currently use ZFS with replication between the nodes on the same cluster. Normally I never experienced any issues of moving an active VM between the nodes but have to wonder is it safe to do that when a VM is running MS-SQL? Or shouldn't matter long as it's not very busy VM and captures...

Nice!! Thanks for sharing!

Maybe future update they add this in. Even it's CLI.

Been seeing failed backups due to stuck fleece snapshots from prior backup job. For now I've disabled the fleece feature in the backup option.

I am actually using HAProxy on my pfsense to handle the reverse proxy requests. Nginx Proxy Manager got way too many security issues currently.

The newest version of PBS will allow you to sync to a different local data store so you could just sync the backups to that data store with a different pruning schedule. If you're looking for a way to protect those backups from accidental deletion. I have a couple of PBS that I sync the...

It's currently on the road map to make use of PBS to backup the host's configuration files and settings. For now you have to use the scripts via cron jobs.
