backup and restore

So I was testing out my backups by deleting one of my LXCs and restoring it. I was able to restore my LXC from my NAS (NAS added as a store in PVE) via the Shell. Everything works except when it tried to perform a backup job to my NAS it failed. This is an unprivileged container. Before...

Hi, I am using PVE v8.3.1, and I have a problem with backup job settings. "Send email" setting is sticky on "Always", I can't modify it : Is it a bug, or did I missed something ? Regards

Original post from the DE support board translated: After this I was informed in a now deleted comment that there is no functionality like this and using Proxmox Backup Server was recommended. Our Proxmox Backup Server deployment is in the works but will still take some time, so we need a...

Moin Allerseits, Ist mein Erster Thread und bin neuer User direkt mit einer Frage. Zwar wie ist eure Backup Strategie eigentlich und ist meine Sinnig ?. Bin mir nicht Sicher ob meine Sinnig ist oder richtig durchdacht. Hab ein Proxmox VE Server mit einen PVE Knoten, dieser läuft in ein LFS...

Hello, Currently vzdump on PVE has no namespace support, but instead relies on having the backup storage linked with a namespace in the storage configuration. While this is probably a perfectly fine option for some. In our case this would mean we need to connect roughly 600 storage drives to...

Hello everybody! I come here with a question about a problem I'm having! I'm migrating several VMs from a Proxmox Cluster to another new, updated one with ZFS replication, but in my largest VM I'm encountering a headache (luckily the node where the VM is is still active for Monday, if the worst...

Hi, I have been looking for a way to backup my PVE without backing up all of my VM's since I already have a way to back those up. I have tried to use the built in backup function but cannot seem to be able to backup and restore just the node, all I can restore is the VM's and when I exclude all...

Hello everyone. I want to have following backup schedule/option with proxmox. At 1:30AM weekly on Saturday at 1:30AM the script gracefully shut downs the VM and waits until it is powered off Takes full backup (not snapshot) of the VM Once backup is taken, powers on the VM Keeps last 3 backups...

Greetings, I’m about to spin up a Proxmox Backup Server on dedicated hardware for the first time. I already have all of my VM’s and LXC’s backing up to my NFS storage so I’m not worried about those. They should fence anyway if a node goes down. Even if they don’t fence, those backups are...

This post is to start discussion for a Feature Request I just filed for Maintenance Windows for Backup Jobs : https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5457 I tried to make it as useful a request as I could. If you have anything you want to add to it, thoughts on the matter, or whatever...

Hi, i must restore an old 3 node cluster. Which dirs do i have to backup for the cluster restores exactly like was before (configuration, files...). Which is the correct procedure to recover it? Thank you

Id like to swap the disk, that Proxmox runs on, in my installation. I found these two links: 1. https://pbs.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Roadmap 2. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-to-backup-proxmox-configuration-files.67789/ 1. - Indicates that PBS still cant backup PVE config. Is this...

Hallo, ich habe eine relativ alte ProxMox Installation und überlege auf die aktuelle Version zu wechseln. Ist es möglich die Backups (mit 6.4-13 erstellt) einfach wieder herzustellen? Ich habe 3 VM (debian-11.1.0-amd64-netinst und ubuntu-22.04.3-live-server-amd64) und 3 LXC...

I wanted to show the steps that I took to accomplish this task. I am a real beginner to Proxmox, and I struggled with the idea of changing the disk partitions using a live disk and GParted, etc. So, I looked for an easier method for me to do this, and I hope this helps someone. I had...

Hello, I have a customer that has proxmox 4.x that i inherited with 2 CTs on it and I need to migrate those 2 CTs to new proxmox 8.x environment. I am facing some problems I don't know how to get by. I created backups of both CT machines on old proxmox and copied backups to new proxmox...

Hi Everyone, I am in the process of migrating the VMs from one proxmox server to another so I can update the proxmox to 8.1. I am creating the backups of VM, then send the backup to the other proxmox server and then restore that VM. The virtual machines are running critical micro-services due...

Hey everyone Is there a role or privilege that allow user to view backup state without permission to run backup jobs or restore? I thought that my solution is PVEAuditor, but this role cant access backups

I have a NFS server, normally it is fast (~1Gb/s). When I backup a vm it starts at ~800Mb/s and after a while, the speed drops considerably.

It would be nice to add Tags based selection in Backup Job. Right now it does not have tags support and I have to add my VMs which I want to include in backup job to pool and select the pool in selection mode.

I have a backup of a server that I am trying to restore. It fails with "ut of space" every time. Source: VM has 3 drives backed up to an SMB share (called "abc" ) I built another proxmox that I installed on a 240gb SSD. I built a 2.1TB zfs pool with nothing on it (name="front"). I pointed to...
