backup

I’m seeing extremely poor performance when restoring files from a pxar archive with proxmox-backup-client catalog shell and restore-selected. Environment Client package: proxmox-backup-client 4.1.5-1 Installed from: http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs-client trixie/main Backup server...

Hello Proxmox Community, I'm currently running a virtual tape library (Quadstor VTL, extended with deduplication) in my homelab, primarily for personal use with Bacula. I'm now looking into expanding my backup solution, or potentially migrating, to Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). I'm aware that...

Hello again helpful community. Today I have a rather easy question for you all! I am trying to restore a VM on a newly installed instance of PVE 9.1.7, however before I can restore it I need to copy over the backup files (45GB). The problem is that ProxMox is installed on a 120GB SSD, leaving...

Hey folks, I have a strange problem. I have one VM in my cluster that just won't backup. No issues backing up other VMs. This is on a three node 9.1.6 cluster that is current on all updates. The VM is a linux machine with a 256GB root disk. QCOW2 format. VMs are stored on an NFS mount from a...

Hi, currently I'm trying to run the backups via crontab. I'll keep the examples as small as possible, therefore I explain my problem using the proxmox-backup-client list command. When I run the command in the CLI directly (logged in as root on my Proxmox server), everything is working as...

Hallo, hier ein Python-Skript um die Konfigurationsdateien und optional auch einen ZFS-Snapshot des rpool separat zu sichern. Vielleicht ist es ja für den einen oder anderen hilfreich oder dient als Inspiration. Features : Pull-basierte Sicherung von Proxmox-VE-Konfigurationsdateien...

Hallo! Ich habe nun endlich etwas Zeit die INTEL SSDs einzusetzen. Die beiden sind jedoch kleiner als die drei Crucials, die aktuell in meinem System laufen. Wenn ich das jetzt nicht durcheinander bringe, dann laufen meine 3x 1TB Crucials als RAID-Z1 und ich möchte die beiden INTELs als RAID-Z0...

I use a Let' s Encrypt cert on both my PVE and PBS servers. This morning I woke up to a bunch of email alerts of failed backups and datastore connection failures. After some messing about I found that the cert on my PBS server had renewed so the fingerprints no longer matched. Was an easy fix...

Hi there, I just started using Proxmox VE in a 2-node cluster (9.1.6) setup as a sandbox for educational purposes. Some VMs already running in the cluster, so far all works well. Looking at options to perform backups of VMs, I'd like to use USB disks as removable storage. On another (Ubuntu)...

Hello everyone, I'm running into a serious bottleneck with my backup strategy. I have a 10-node Proxmox cluster, and all VMs are backed up to a single Proxmox Backup Server. The issue is: I created a cluster-wide backup job selecting VMs by their IDs. When the schedule hits, all 10 nodes...

The Problem : Stop Mode backups on Windows VMs running databases (SQL Server, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, etc.) fail with: ERROR: VM quit/powerdown failed timeout waiting on systemd After backup, services won't start → Event Viewer shows "Service did not respond in a timely fashion" ---...

Hello dear Proxmox-Community, We are using a Proxmox Backup Server to back up data to S3. However, we are encountering errors during various operations. In the logs, we found these multiple errors: 2026-02-08T22:42:27+01:00: <Error><Code>SlowDown</Code><Message>Please reduce your request...

Moin! Ich bin neu in der Proxmox-Welt und habe eine Frage bezüglich PBS. Ich setze momentan ein Cluster für unsere produktive Umgebung auf. (Wechsel von VMware). Wir haben bisher für unseren Backup-Traffic ein separates Netz genutzt. Dies möchte ich nun gerne fortführen. Dieses Netz liegt...

Hi, Ich habe gerade festgestellt, dass ich leider alle meine Backups unverschlüsselt an einen S3 Hoster sende. Ich habe ein 3-Knoten Setup, was wäre hier der beste Weg um zukünftig alle Backups zu verschlüsseln und die unverschlüsselten Backups zu entfernen? Sollten alle drei Knoten den...

Hallo, ich habe in Proxmox 9.1.5 mail konfiguriert mit erfolgreichen Tests und trotsdem bekomme ich immer wieder eine mail mit folgendem Inhalt Fehler bei der Nachrichtenzustellung an folgende Empfänger oder Gruppen: log@winkler-cottbus.de Kommunikationsfehler bei der Zustellung der...

setup: we have a proxmox ve with 1 vm (debian bookworm) on sunday we run a weekly backup (type stop) to a proxmox backup server we experience the following issue: - vm is shutdown - backup starts BUT vm is also powered on immediately again - vm seems to start fine but big parts of the device...

A little background first: I run Proxmox on just one single node/host with local onboard NVME storage, because that covers my current needs just fine, and I backup all important VM's to an SMB share on a NAS in a different location with gigabit connection. I also have a 2nd identical machine on...

Hallo, ich habe aktuell das Problem, das der Kernel nicht aktualisiert wird, da angeblich auf der Festplatte kein Platz mehr ist, was komisch ist, da dies nicht stimmt. Das ist der Fehler: No /etc/kernel/cmdline found - falling back to /proc/cmdline Copying and configuring kernels on...

I'm doing backups from fast (NVMe) drives to slow (ATA; 5400 RPM 130 MB/s write). Presumably, as a result of this, swap space fills up when I run backups, and it's mostly VM memory that gets swapped out. I have 8 GB of swap configured and it fills up completely. RAM usage of the server never...

Hello guys, I am wondering if there is a solution to make a rebootable backup of proxmox set up. The idea is having 2 disks - one disk with the proxmox set up, VMs and CTs. And the other disk to be a complete reboot backup. SO, if the first disk fails, the second disk can be used without...
