backup

Hi, some guests become readonly after the snapshot backup (performed overnight by PBS) fails. Curiously, I happen to see the very same backup logs on different guests, even with the same guest OS, but they don't go readonly. The backup task fails, and they go on like it was nothing. Can you...

Is it possible to somehow disable the call to guest-agent fsfreeze when performing a snapshot backup? Despite the update to latest Proxmox VE 7.3-4 and opt-in 5.19.17-2-pve kernel, I'm still having the issue where the fsfreeze command blocks the guest filesystem and there's no solution except...

Moin, heute wurde uns gesagt, dass die Snapshot Backups den Exchange (genauer die Datenbank) zerstören würden. Nun, als Exchange "nicht so Profi" kann ich das erstmal nur annehmen und euch fragen, wie ihr euer Exchange onprem aus dem PVE raus sichert. Gruß, Patrick Anhang: Der Agent ist in...
