backup

Just FYI. I hope this helps someone. We use Veeam to backup our servers. With virt-win 0.1.302 we are not anymore able to backup our server: Failed to perform backup: Failed to prepare disks for backup: Backup job failed. Failed to enumerate paths to shadow volumes. Original volume name is not...

I'm the founder of Watchgoose (cron and heartbeat monitoring), so I have an interest here. I wanted a vzdump hook script that reports start, success and failure to a ping-URL service, and found one thing that trips people up (it came up in this thread): job-end is also called when some guests...

Hello everyone, First of all, thank you for stopping by. Just to be clear: this thread is not an advertisement, a comparison, or any criticism of vzdump and Proxmox Backup Server. They are phenomenal, industry-standard tools built by people who know this platform far better than I do. If you...

Hi, We encountered a problematic behavior in Proxmox VE snapshot backups that caused a significant availability issue for a running VM. The problem is that Proxmox freezes all guest filesystems, including those on disks explicitly excluded from the backup (backup=0). If one of those...

Hi all, Disclosure first: I'm the author of the tool below. I got tired of checking my backups by hand. The worst part was a backup that simply wasn't made: no error, no message, nothing — you only find out when you go looking for it. And a green backup task only tells you data was written...

Hi, Product: Veeam Backup & Replication 13 (build: 13.1.1.18 ), Proxmox VE plug-in/worker version. Hypervisor: Proxmox VE 9.2.20 1 node of cluster, storage: Ceph. PROBLEM During the backup job, the guest VM stops responding for 20-50 s and the guest kernel reports soft lockups on almost all...

Hi everyone, we’re preparing to migrate from VMware to Proxmox VE and have some questions about the compatibility of Proxmox VE 9.X with our Commvault backup tool. We initially opted for a Thick LVM configuration via iSCSI with disks in RAW format. However, according to the Commvault...

Proxmox VE Version: 9.2.4 Proxmox Backup Server: 4.1 HA Enabled: Yes, with VM set to "stopped" Affected Component: HA Manager (pve-ha-crm/pve-ha-lrm) + Backup System (vzdump) Issue description: When backing up a powered-off VM with HA state set to stopped using snapshot mode to PBS, the HA...

Hi, we are running a Proxmox VE cluster on PVE 9.2 with HA enabled and using a Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) for scheduled VM backups. We somtimes encounter a situation where the HA/CRS scheduler started migrating a VM due to load balancing while the scheduled PBS backup was starting/running. So...

Hey all, I have been playing with the best way of monitoring my backup jobs. The main problem is that I want to reduce the noise, not get "alerts" for "everything is fine". I hade email reports set up, all fine and well, but it gets very noisy. I even had a local LLM running to get it to alert...

I've been working on implementing services on a currently single hypervisor for my friend and one thing that was required in the design plan was a proper backup/recovery method for the hypervisor itself. [Offsite backups of VMs are already setup with PBS.] I find that a majority of 'recovery'...

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...

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...

I have backup job of all VMs (3 VMs of 120+ are excluded due to specific reasons) in 9-node PVE 9.2 cluster I have rebalance turned on: Sometimes there is issue that backup starts and also rebalancing thinks that there's a time to rebalance VM. As the backup job does one by one VM backup of...

Problem 1: Error on Proxmox -> CT -> Backup -> Backup Now -> Mode: Suspend INFO: rsync: chown "/mnt/pve/ovh-nfs-node02/dump/vzdump-lxc-666-2018_03_27-05_52_04.tmp/." failed: Operation not permitted (1) Version: Proxmox 9.2.3. Storage: OVH Dedicated Server Backup Storage. NFS Mounted with...

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...

Hello Proxmox Forum, Is a slow vzdump backupjob able to trigger watchdog? I had some unknown reboot today at 07:38 on a customers system: - 07:35:34 vzdump-Start (Ziel: langsames NFS) - 07:38:24 pve-ha-crm: loop took too long (33s) - 07:38:36 pve-ha-lrm: loop took too long (79s) + cfs-lock...

Hallo, Ich habe Proxmox VE 9.1.1 auf meinem mini PC laufen. Auf dem Gerät läuft ein Container der jeden Tag um 23 uhr ein Backup fahren soll. Das ist aber die letzten Tage nicht passiert also wollte ich das ganze mal Manuel anstoßen um zu prüfen da los ist. Dabei hab ich folgende Fehlermeldung...

Hello Everyone, apart from the S3 object storage and internal storage media (with ext4/xfs or ZFS) mentioned in the PBS documentation, what types of storage are supported as backing storage for PBS datastores? Specifically, I am referring to network storage such as a Synology NAS...

Hallo Zusammen, seit 3 Tagen läuft mein Proxmox Cluster mehr oder weniger. Gestern hatte ich das altbekannte Intel e1000 Problem. Das konnte behoben werden. Gestern Abend war mir schon aufgefallen, dass es beim PBS Backup nicht VMs richtig gesichert hat und scheint eine Migration während des...
