backup and restore

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"...

Hello friends, I'll accompany you another day I'm having some software problems that I already mentioned in another post and I wanted to export the backups to a safer place, but I need to create some new ones, is this possible from OVH's "rescue mode"? I currently get an error when using...

Hi all and good day, I have a question. I have proxmox version Virtual Environment 6.2-4. I want to backup a server that occupies a lot of space. rsync only runs with the standert options. rsync always backs up the server in the /tmp directory. there is not enough space on the root partition...

ERROR: couldn't determine format and compression type (500)

I have an off-site PBS server with a PCT backup that is 1.87 TB I need to restore that backup but the transfer will take 4 days (because internet is slow). I experienced a power loss halfway through and need to restart Wondering if there's any way to copy PBS backups to PVE storage via rsync...

Vorab, es kann sein, dass ich mit meiner Frage vielleicht komplett falsch denke. Ich möchte hier und da ein lokal vorhandenes Backup einer VM über Netzwerk woanders hin sichern, für den Fall eines Falles. Ich finde die Backups aber nicht. Ich weiß auch gar nicht, in welchem Ordner die liegen...

Hi, I'm currently not using a KVM, but I was considering switching to PROXMOX, so I have some questions: Can I dual boot between barebones Windows (using all resources) and the same Windows installation but virtualized + Linux/MacOS (splitting resources)? How? Can I switch between virtualized...

Hi, I'm building a Proxmox VE for Hackintosh VM. I successfully installed it, modded all the necessary files, patched AMD Vendor Reset bug and successfully installed Monterey. Then I tried to install USB Automount, but it caused me some trouble while booting. I uninstalled it, but after running...

Hey there, I recently set up my first Proxmox backup server, and I am amazed how easy and straight forward that was. However, I have a strange problem: Whenever a backup fails for some reason (e.g. internet outage), one of my disks is mounted read only and write access can only be restored by...

Hello, we had evaluated proxmox in development for a while. We have proxmox 5.4 on server, which we would like to "delete". We have obtained new HW and installed clean proxmox 7.1. We would like to migrate some VM machines from former hw to new one. Is there any easy/stright-forward solution...

Hi everybody, I have shortly started to test proxmox and my goal would be to fully migrate all my vm`s from vmware. Setting up a cluster and running VMs, also the migration from existing VMs is going smooth and I'm happy about the great performance. Currently I'm testing backups and restore...

Hello everyone, I did a fresh install of Proxmox VE Version 7.1-7. Backup and clone functions do not work properly. I have a problem when I want to load a clone from a template or restore a backup file. The process is not responding and all virtual machines on the server are stopped. Even after...

It seems obvious enough when the backup was created from an active server. Simply go into the backup and hit restore. However what about a system where I have created a backup, backed up all my VMs, de-commissioned and replaced the active server, then wish to restore to the new server from the...

Hallo, wir sind auf eine neue Version von Proxmox umgestiegen. Seit dem ist es so, dass wenn wir ein Backup von unserm externen Backup-Server wiederherstellen, die anderen VMs nicht mehr reagieren oder abschmieren. Da ist ein ziemliches Problem weil darunter auch ein DHCP und Mail-Server sind...

In Proxmox 7, I attempted to do a "snapshot mode backup" with compression set to "none". During the backup, the Virtual Machine was completely inaccessible and none of its services worked. Also, I attempted doing a "stop mode backup" with compression set to "none". During the backup, I hit the...

Some background information: I have 1 server connecting 4 Proxmox Nodes. They were all on the 5.0 version, but I wanted to upgrade them to 6.1. I upgraded 1 node to 6.1 and I want to backup VMs from the other 3 nodes on the 5.0 version into the 6.0 version. I also do not have any internet...

I have a proxmox PVE running and want to back it up and install it on the same hardware but with a clean proxmox installation. I am planning on whipping everything of the current hardware. But I don’t want to lose my VM’s. The backup option on my VM’s doesn’t work because it can’t find the...

A few days ago I posted a question regarding my hard drives layout for Proxmox, and now that's pretty much gone out the window. I'm picking up an older server today, so again, will be installing Proxmox (I think I've spend more time installing/setting up machines, than actually letting them do...

Hey! I backed up my old Proxmox server with 120GB SSD using https://github.com/DerDanilo/proxmox-stuff/blob/master/README.md of this script and restore it on the new Proxmox server with SSD at 500 GB. Everything works fine except I can use only 100Gb of my 500GB SSD, but I don't know how to use...

Hello Community! sorry in advance for this somewhat silly question but i cannot find the information i need and decided to ask here. I just recently found the PBS and i was wondering when exactly do i need to implement the backup client? Do i need to install the client for every server i want...
