backup

I can add my backup storage using it's public IP (I only allow my PVEs public outbound IPs and I use namespaces) but when I try to do it using DNS it doesnt work. Am I doing something wrong or is it by design? if it's by design, is there a way to circumvent it?

Hi, I'm testing proxmox for a couple of months now and i'm very happy. At the moment I have 3 disks, 2 internal and 1 usb-hdd. I already set the backup job to backup the VM's from internal disk 1 to disk 2. Now I want "something" to copy the backup-files from disk 2 to the usb-hdd when I...

We're trying to install a new software to backup our proxmox vitrual machines. We're using Vprotect (Dell solutions) to backup those vm. The problem is that when we try to run the software, sometimes we get this error: API: ExternalAPIException: Failed to execute remote command: [LC_ALL=C...

Hallo zusammen, ich spiele seit ein paar Wochen mit Proxmox und habe mittlerweile einige VMs und Container am Laufen, sodass ich mir jetzt so langsam mal Gedanken um Backups mache. Aktuell sieht mein Setup so aus, dass ich eine NVMe für PVE und die VMs/LXCs habe und eine große HDD als Datengrab...

I'm looking into implementing additional backups for a basic Proxmox host (no Ceph/SAN). Currently it's just rsync to another physical non-Proxmox machine and that machine died thus prompting a look into additional offsite backup. The initial plan was to backup to a remote storage like...

My Proxmox cluster has been seeing incredibly slow VM backups, with vzdump speeds hovering at around 15 MB/s read. I do all my backups to a locally hosted Proxmox Backup Server, which runs on a RAIDz of 4x 4TB CMR hard drives, with a ZIL and L2ARC SSD in the pool. The vzdump config is...

I'm new to proxmox and I've installed it onto a machine with only one drive for boot (small SSD) and then separate storage disks. I was wondering if there is an easy way to backup the current set-up to a USB disk so that it boots up proxmox exactly the same in case of boot disk failure?

As the title says, I get errors when trying to backup LXC containers whose volumes are on btrfs storage. This happens on multiple proxmox instances, even on freshly installed without anything configured/changed. Storage config: btrfs: local-btrfs path /var/lib/pve/local-btrfs content...

Hello, I have a Synology NAS on which I created a shared drive to host my pve backups. It works fine with VM but I'm getting a permission denied when trying to backup a unpriviledged CT. The output of the backup is: I already checked on google and in the forum and I found many different...

Hey everyone! So I have a 7-node cluster of PVE 7.4 and I need to reinstall one of the nodes because I did not REDACTED when installing it. I would like to keep the same IP address and hostname. The node is already empty (i.e., all LXCs and VMs have already been migrated to another node) and HA...

I have 3 nodes and all CTs are running of NFS server and backing up (using STOP mode) to another NFS server all over 10Gb link. Everything is running without problem but every lets say 14 days one node during backup of CT freezes, and until I manually stop it it shows just: INFO: starting new...

Hey Everyone. First I hope whoever sees this has a good day :) We're having an issue with our PVE cluster (v8.1.2) and backing up LXC containers that are run on a ceph pool It seems that sporadically and without cause, the snapshot stage of our backup job just fails, leaving the container...

Hi, May I know if the backup using the proxmox backup client is baremtal or file backup? Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a method to put a virtual machine into a backup state on Proxmox, allowing me to safely copy its files without interrupting its operation. I prefer to avoid using the default dump tool or backup utility, as I intend to create my own backup solution. If anyone has...

I use both PBS and restic for backup on different systems. I'm very happy with both tools for their job. In the restic documentation I read about a possible threat and wonder how it is handles in PBS. I have not found any mention of the threat or a mitigation in the documentation of PBS. Attack...

Hello, I was hoping to get some clarity about backups and encryption from inside a vm. If I encrypt a debian vm with luks on lvm, will this interfere with proxmox backup server de-duplication, pruning, etc? To clarify, the encryption in not happening in proxmox, but within the vm. Any other...

Yesterday, I backed up and restored a LXC container to a new Proxmox VE 7.4-17 server using the information in these two resources and it was a new "template" on the new server. Both servers are running Proxmox VE 7.4-17...

Hello dear community. Could you help me with this case, I have a storage unit contracted in the cloud and I mounted it in a proxmox cluster, it contains 5 nodes, of which only 3 correctly detect the storage and the last 2 do not.Could you help me by indicating how to find the solution, I search...

Hello all. I had a search in the forum but i wasn't able to identify that specific question. My Setup: I just installed a Proxmox host and as I don't have (and don't want) a separate NAS for storage, ONE of the VMs on that host will make an 8TB disk available to my local network via SMB/NFS...

Hallo, ich habe in Proxmox das Backup der LXC-Container konfiguriert. In der Mail steht folgendes: Betreff: vzdump backup status (pve.local): backup successful Details: 100 debian01 ok 1min 3s 857.447 MiB /mnt/pve/nas/dump/vzdump-lxc-100-2024_01_28-11_29_44.tar.zst Logs...
