backup and restore

Hi everyone, Since we use VM Backup for our Hyper-V servers and the software has recently started supporting PVE as well, we wanted to use it for the newer PVEs too. However, our experiences have varied greatly; for example: A cluster with 4 nodes—all of which are essentially identical—2 work...

PVE server has about 200GB but my VM and backup both lie on a CIFS share that has plenty of storage. Its giving me an error message of no space left on disk. I tried changing the tmpdir in vzconf.cfg but no luck.

A folder was lost on a windows server I am managing with shared drives and I need help restoring it. There are no file backups running on the server itself, only snapshot backups for the server which is running on PBS on another server. I was told that I can create a new windows VM, and mount...

Good morning, I’m running a small proxmox server (8.4.11) to host Home Assistant and Unifi OS Server. It’s been a great foundation for learning and has potential for expansion. My concern now is how to backup the VMs etc. I want to use a removeable USB drive and backup manually whenever I’m...

Hallo zusammen, ich habe im Forum gesucht und leider nicht fündig geworden. Ich habe lange keinen Beitrag mehr in einem Forum verfasst, doch jetzt bin ich mit meinem Latein am ende und hoffe das ihr mir helfen könnt. Die Situation: Wir haben auf dem Server eine Windows 11 Maschine laufen...

Since upgrading to Proxmox 8, I’ve run into a regression with LXC backups when using an NFS share that resides on an NTFS volume. SETUP - Linux server with an external NTFS hard drive - On that NTFS drive, I created an NFS share - Proxmox mounts this NFS share fine and recognizes it as valid...

Hi, so... my physical pve host died. I do not use PBS to do backups but i use the integrated backup feature. Now: backups are stored on a nas and i was wondering if there's any chance to restore from that a vm on the new host without using PBS. Any clues? Thank you!

Hallo, mein PVE8.4 läuft auf einem HP Proliant Microserver Gen10 V2 mit 64 GB und Xeon E2378 CPU. Bei der Einrichtung des Servers habe ich mich für eine interne USB SDD als Bootmedium für das Betriebssystem entschieden. Die VMs befinden sich auf 2 Enterprise SSD, Micron 5400 je 4TB, als...

Hallo zusammen, nach längerem Überlegen habe ich mich entschlossen, hier um Hilfe zu bitten. Ich bin kein IT-Profi, interessiere mich aber sehr für Proxmox und finde das Konzept eines eigenen Homelabs bzw. Selfhostings großartig – meine Daten selbst hosten, statt sie an Dritte weiterzugeben...

Hallo Zusammen! Ich denke darüber nach, meine Backup-Strategie zu erweitern und bräuchte da mal etwas Hilfe und Anregungen, wie ihr das gemacht habt. Es handelt sich um mein privates Office. Was ich bisher gemacht habe: Den ganzen Server einmal die Woche auf den pbs gesichert. Drei bestimmte...

Hi all, I'm working on a Proxmox setup involving delegated backup responsibilities across different users/teams and have encountered a few limitations around permissions and access control. I’d appreciate any insights on the following: 1. Backup Job Restrictions: I want users to be able to set...

We have a virtual machine running Issabel 5, which is currently operational. Now, when we back up the virtual machine using any of the modes and try to restore that backup on another system with different hardware, we encounter errors indicating file corruption and checksum failures. Both...

I installed proxmox on an nvme drive using the default (lvm) storage setup. I then created a vm running home assistant and have been happily using it. I would now like to change my system to be zfs based but I do not want to have to manually set up / replicate my home assistant vm. In order...

Since I was used to Truenas and other installations having a pretty robust host backup mechanism that doesn't require routine full HD images, I installed PVE on a 500Gb mirrored boot-pool. I've learned that restoring a PVE host configuration is somewhat cumbersome and rough. I have a cron job...

Hello guys, I have a problem with backup with corrupted block on a 123 GB position (whole backup is 500 gb), and this corrupted fragment makes unpacking/restore of a whole backup impossible, although other blocks are fine. I do not understand fully the situation, how blocks got corrupte cause...

In this step we go over how to setup various backup endpoints in Proxmox. We backup a Windows VM, purge it and then restore it back from the backup. We cover topics such as backup modes and the scheduler. https://youtu.be/HvCW7nblyWA

Hi I want to transfer my VMs from my old HP g8 Server (proxmox 8.2.1) to my new HP g9 Server (proxmox 8.3.1), but when I backup my VM on old server, the backup doesn't contain VM disk, only contains configuration files, my VM disk size is 150GB but my available backup storage is 85GB, Can be...

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
