backup

Hey, I configured a backup job on the Datacenter node, and set "keep-last=1", but it is ignored, backups keep piling up. Each affected node's logs just states 2024-03-18 21:05:07 INFO: prune older backups with retention: keep-last=1 2024-03-18 21:05:07 INFO: pruned 0 backup(s) What could be...

Hello, I need some help to properly configure the backup: while the scheduled backup of alll my VM failed because the backup disk space was not sufficient, the VM that was actually being backed up at the moment of failure became unresponsive and any try to shut it down and restart failed. I'd...

Hi. I'm really new to proxmox. I will try to back up my "proxmox" node's vms to "dl380" node. They are in cluster. I have a directory type storage on "dl380" node with the following settings. When I try to run a backup job I received the following error message. I checked the systemctl...

Servus zusammen, ich teste gerade den Proxmox-VM-Server und den Backup-Server. Was mir noch wichtig wäre ist, dass wir die Backups monitoren können... Wir nutzen als Monitorings-Software die Riversuite von Riverbird. Riverbird hat mir nur ein Standard-Skript gegeben (Powershell) das die...

Hello, I'm cureently in need of a very particular backup configuration. I need to backup different disks of the same VM to different backup targets. Is there a way to either: - modify the target datastore for a specific disk - exclude a disk from a specific backup job only - modify the target...

Hello, I'm fairly new to proxmox and running into some trouble with backups. I configured a VM backup job writing to an NFS share with mostly default options (Snapshot, ZSTD compression). Within a minute or two of starting, the system and all VM's became unresponsive. After rebooting I tried...

Help, has anyone encountered a similar problem, a cluster of 3 nodes, one random node freezes, with a VM backup task, restarting networking.service helps and the node comes to life, the VM comes to life after unlocking qm, but the network on the VM does not work if you migrate VM to another...

Scenario: - One machine with proxmox - Second machine with PBS VMs on proxmox machine are DELETED, all the VM data is wiped. After that, the proxmox machine is physically compromised. What to expect: no data leak Whan actually happens: - PBS encryption key is available in /etc/pve on the...

I would like to keep ZFS-based backups / snapshots in daily (1 month weekly), weekly (5 weeks), and monthly (6 months) intervals on servers so as to be able to readily rollback if need arises. How is this accomplished in an automated fashion so as to both accomplish this and purge older...

Feb 29 22:00 Backup of a VM to NFS share (hosted by FreeNAS Scale VM on a different Proxmox host) caused the whole computer (BeeLink GTR7Pro AMD Ryzen 9 7940 HS) running the latest promox to hang up. I was on vacation when this occurred. Came back home on Mar 03, the computer was powered on...

Hi, For the last couple of months I am experiencing this issue where my /tmp/backup directory keeps being deleted which prevents my Backup Job from successfully completing. I am recreating it manually but then it gets deleted over and over again. Any clue why it is happening and how to fix it...

Hallo, ich wollte anhand dieses Tutorials die Backupdateien mit Filezilla herunterladen. Allerdings ist das Verzeichnis /var/lib/vz/dump leer. Wahrscheinlich, weil die Backups bei mir auf eine externe SSD gespeichert werden. Nun die Frage, wie komme ich an die Dateien?

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...
