    About deploy pve worker on the air-gapped envirment

    Hi Everyone, I installed Veeam 13.1 on Windows Server 2022 without joining an AD domain and in an environment without internet access. I used IP addresses when adding the PVE9.2, but when I deployed the workers, the installation failed with the error “Veeam Updater is unavailable.” Later, I...

    [Tool] Joulenap: keep the PBS powered off, wake it for the backups, shut it down after (open source)

    Hi all, Disclosure first: I am the author of the tool below, and it is open source. I run PBS on a dedicated box at home. It does its job in twenty minutes a night and sits idle the rest of the day, so I wanted it powered off between backups. PVE's own scheduler cannot do that on its own: the...

    [SOLVED] Backup CT Change Detection Mode Override

    I am very happy to have finally discovered the "new" (to me) CT change detection modes for backup (see https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/pbs-client-change-detection-mode.150538/). This has vastly decreased my ~4TB file server backup from 7 hours to a few minutes. I have a question that may be...

    Update 8.4 to 9.0 or 9.1?

    Hello, is it easily possible to upgrade our existing 8.4 installation to a specific 9.x version? Our Backupvendor only fully supports 9.0, says "basic functionality" is offered with 9.1 and basically does not support 9.2 right now. Since the development has been slow on the Backup side, my...

    [TUTORIAL] FabU: What’s in a snapshot?

    My only point here is that the term “snapshot” has different meanings, heavily depending on the contextual point-of-view: PVE VM snapshot This is the native Proxmox function. It freezes the current status of a VM. This state can be “unfrozen” later to restore this very status via “rollback”...

    Freeze/thaw VM on Backup

    Hi all, I'm curious how you handle the 'Freeze/thaw guest filesystems on backup for consistency' option in Qemu Agent. Do you generally keep it enabled by default? In which scenarios do you explicitly disable it (e.g. high I/O VMs or databases)? Have you had any issues with fsfreeze (timeouts...
