backup and restore

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 Many are outdated and I am curious if there are more...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 :)

Hallo, nach einem Wechsel zu einem Docker & NAS System wurde vom damaligen Proxmox System die VMs und LXC Dump-Dateien archiviert. Nun solll ein LXC-System wieder aktiviert werden. Die letzten Dump-Dateien stammen von 2022. Die Dump-Dateien müssten alle die letze Proxmox-Konfigurationsdateien...

Hello everyone To restore a specific disk from a backup, is it correct to use the pbs-restore command directly?

Hi, my previous installation looked like that: /dev/nvme0n1 for LVM and LVM-Thin (system and all VM were installed on them) /dev/sda1 was used for backup /dev/nvme0n1 was corrupted and was replaced - I installed PVE on the identical new nvme0n1 - in the attached pdf you find some screenshots...

Hi, this might probably come out as a dumb question, but I really want to be 100% sure that it works before I try to reinstall my whole system. So I have 2 PCs running Proxmox (I will name them PC1 and PC2 for simplicity). So I want to reinstall PC1 and I want to restore 2 VMs after I do it. On...

I saw that this question shows up often but I still didn't found an answer. On PBS I can browse directly the content of a LXCs backup because it's done file-level. On the other side, VMs backups are done on the block-level so I can't directly browse their content. My final question is...

Team, I got two node PVE v7.3-3 (clustered) running 8 VMs (id 100 to 107). I can backup / restore the VM on these two PVE nodes all ok. In parallel, I got PBS v2.3-1 where these 10 VMs are backup like, if I look in command line on PBS, see picture. Each VM got multiple backups (say 10 copies)...

Hi, with proxmox-backup-client I backuped from inside a (VMWare-) virtual-machine to a namespace on PBS. Command-Line was: sudo proxmox-backup-client backup it_server_de.pxar:/ --repository server-rz@pbs@192.168.132.30:pbs-local --ns Server In PBS the Backup shows fine as "Hosts/hostname"...

Hey, Just been having this issue for the last month where the backup fails at 37%. I've changed the backup location and it still fails at 37%. Can anyone see what I'm missing ? Proxmox version: 7.2-3 Error: Backup of VM 100 failed - job failed with err -5 - Input/output error Backup size: sits...

Hello, My tale of woe begins with 1 of 6 240 GB SSDs used as my system disk failing since fragmentation in the zpool was 77% I decided to reinstall the system on the same disks to see if the problem recurred. I restored the backups of my VMs and have been happily working thinking everything is...

Hallo zusammen, ich habe einige (aber nicht alle ) Backups, die zwar in den gleichen Order für die Backups liegen, aber nicht in proxmox bei den Backups aufgelistet werden (in der Liste für das betreffende Share). Initial dachte ich es ist eine Berechtigungsproblem, da ich die Backups zurück...

Hi, For different reasons I'd like to fully reinstall my PVE server. It is up and running right now, si I'm preparing everything for a full restore of the VMs. If I simply backup the VM using the UI is it enough ? Does the .zst file also contains metadata like network, CPU, RAM settings ...

Hello everyone, I want to migrate an entire virtual machine from one Proxmox VE server to another On the server where the virtual machine is located, I execute the command vzdump 106 --dumpdir /root --mode stop after using scp I am transferring this image to a server where I want to deploy a...

I've run into the following. I have PVE running and I wanted to backup a VM (32GB) to PBS. The VM is a running Ubuntu which has a 500GB volume mounted. What happens is that PVE backup tries to backup the entire 532GB. That was unexpected as I thought it would not try to backup anything but /...

Hi, first of all, thanks for providing such an amazing piece of software for free. I really enjoy running Proxmox in my homelab and would certainly chose it over TrueNas, OMV again! Now, there is one issue that I am worried about: Last night I had to restore an LXC container from backup...

After suffering recent failure of my Proxmox VE boot disk, I'm contemplating a better (but simple) Disaster Recovery Strategy. Option 1: Boot from a LiveOS, use "dd" to backup my (now unmounted) Proxmox boot disk (safest, but requires prep) Option 2: Shutdown Proxmox VE application, use "dd"...
