backup

Hello, I am very new to Proxmox. I am a long time Windows Server (on bare metal) user for HomeLab for a very long time, since recently I moved to Proxmox and Linux based solution. Following is my current Hardware Configuration CPU: Core i7-8700 RAM: 16GB SSD: 512GB (for Proxmox and VMs)...

I have a strange issue whereby scheduled backups (that have been configured and running for over a year) are now causing my physical server to go offline. It is a 2 node cluster (I know, accepted) pve, pve2. All VMs run on pve, only Proxmox Backup Server runs on pve2 (set up like this for...

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to you regarding an issue with my Proxmox VE setup. I've added an SMB storage managed by TrueNas, which is hosted within a VM on my server. I'm using this storage for backing up my server, and these backups are then sent to OneDrive through TrueNas. However, I...

Hi folks, My setup is 3 nodes with shared storage - an iSCSI LUN with a shared LVM Thin-pool on top. All are running 8.1.4. There is a separate NAS (also Debian 12) providing an NFS share for backups. Backing up VMs runs successfully. However, I've started using containers and those are not...

Hello! I swear that I've done this before but for some reason on my new Proxmox 8.1.4 system I'm having trouble installing Veeam and backing up the OS. I first tried to install Veeam like I normally do on Linux systems (command below) but when I ran a backup I get the error Veeam snapshot kernel...

Hey guys! I use Proxmox 8.13 and currently my virtual machines are showing the error in the title, luckily I keep regular backups. Apparently the virtual HD is damaged when performing the backup, but the machine continues to operate as if it had no problem of any kind. As expected, my solution...

Hey everyone! So I have a server at OVH in France and just installed a Debian 12 Bookworm using their installer. And I started the installation of Proxmox Backup Server 3.0.1, just as I did a few days ago on a Debian 12 Bookworm on a server at Hetzner in Helsinki (one will be the replica of the...

Hey everyone! Quick question: the Estimated full column for a given datastore in the Dashboard: Datastore usage takes the retention policy into consideration when calculating the expected time until the disk is full? I assume it is statistically computed given the deduplication level that has...

Backup for VMs and Containers only works if I power them off first. Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions? Proxmox version: 8.1.3 error I'm getting when trying to backup with powered-on VM/Containers: NFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 598 --node auriga --compress zstd --mode...

This is a proof of concept for backup and restore or clone a proxmox zfs bare metal host on a home lab system. This is not about VM backup. For production environments more tests are necessary. TL;TR backup running system to <destination> zfs snapshot -r rpool@export zfs send -R...

Hi, I setup two different daily baclup jobs: 00:30 Internal bkp to a CephFS pool (SAS disks) 01:30 External to a PBS instance Al nights, one or two of my Ubuntu 22.04 VMs (kubernetes nodes) go stale after the first bckup (I think). I find them stale (and have to Stop and Start, as the Guest...

Hallo Gemeinde, ich wünsche euch ein frohes neues Jahr. So, zum Problem. Ich habe ein Proxmox-Cluster mit 4 NUCs am Laufen und es läuft sehr gut. Seit nunmehr 3 oder 4 Wochen habe ich festgestellt, dass ein Backup-Job mehrere Tage läuft. Daraufhin habe ich in Backup-Log nachgeschaut und für...

I'm having a few issues when it comes to backing up a specific LXC, if it's running. All other LXCs and VMs backup fine, but this one is problematic. If I shut it down, it backs up fine - the failure is only when it is running. I'm backing up the PVE to a local USB drive and also a remote PBS...

Hi guys. I've only set up a backup server which at installation time had just a single iface and when given a second iface, configured no routing, the server does not seem to want to use that iface. When trying to add such server to a PVE while pointing to that second-new IP, it fails with...

Hallo liebe Mitstreiter, ich habe mal eine Frage. Ich bin vor kurzem auf Proxmox PVE mit PBS umgestiegen. In meinem Heimnetz habe ich nun alle VMs auf einem lokalen PBS gesichert (ca. 1.5 TB) und diesen nun über eine DSL (40 MBit Upload) ins RZ gesichert. Dies hat logischerweise mehrere Tage...

I've got one LXC that's failing backup whenever I run it. I've tried setting the vzdump.conf temp dirs to my mergerfs pool in the thoughts that it was my main drive filling. But the error is really not giving me any pointers. And even watching it I could not see any drives full. Here are...

Hey all, I have a bare metal unraid server running, with nextcloud in it. I would like to backup that data to my proxmox backup server, anyone who can tell me how to do this? Thx!

Hallo Leute, vorgestern habe ich mein Proxmox aktualisiert, und seitdem fällt mir auf, dass nach den Backup-Jobs die CPUs der VMs auf 100 % laufen. Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte? Vielen Dank im Voraus.

Hello there. pveversion pve-manager/8.1.3/b46aac3b42da5d15 (running kernel: 6.2.16-10-pve) I've got a VM with a 96Gb disk. qm config 100 boot: order=ide2;sata0;net0 cores: 3 cpu: x86-64-v2-AES ide2: none,media=cdrom memory: 5120 meta: creation-qemu=8.0.2,ctime=1692278490 name: web net0...

My proxmox install used two drives in a zfs pool as the storage system, but one drive was starting to fail. I bought a new, larger drive, backed up the VMs and copied /etc/pve. I swapped out the dying drive for the new one, and reinstalled proxmox. Then things went south. I added the second...
