backup and restore

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...

hi all any reason why the backups are single-threaded rather than a user-configurable value? as from my point of view it would be nice to use 4 threads out of my 64 to speed up the backups.

Good Day, we have a new Proxmox Node with High Storage KVM Servers. Connected to the PBS Server with 2x10G active-backup Bond Setup is : AMD EPYC 7443P 24-Core Processor 512 GB RAM RaidZ2 with 8x 20TB HDD and 2x 3,84 TB SSD Raid1 as a META Devices. The VM's have 30 TB in some cases. If we...

Hi, due to a system crash, I was wondering if there's any way to move vm out from proxmox and store in a disk o cloud service. So in future crashes at least of a copy may be available. As and another option to regular backups. Just to try, I have mounted an external device and tried to move the...

What are some strategies that people use to backup/clone/automate/etc OS disks and configurations? I've read a number of threads on this topic - varying from clonezilla backups, automated config managers, zfs send cron jobs and many more. Many are outdated and I am curious if there are more...

Hello, in the Datacenter->Backup settings I created a job to backup all VMs in a 3-node cluster. To me it seems the backup job tries to backup all VMs in parallel. Is there a way to process the VMs in the job one by one? I found the wiki page for this here...

Hello. I just added a cluster and have two total nodes. One node was a machine with 2 VMs on it before joining the cluster. To prepare to join the cluster, I created a backup (locally) of the two VMs. After joining the cluster, any reference to the two backups is now gone from the web GUI, but...

Hallo, Ich möchte meinen PBS außerhalb meines Heimnetzwerkes aufstellen, damit ich ein offsite Backup habe. Die Backups sollen natürlich verschlüsselt übertragen werden. Wie kann ich das machen? Hoffentlich kann mir einer Helfen :)
