backup and restore

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...

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...
