backups

1.) I can't currently delete a VM which was created, setup, shut down and left off - it's not important at all. That file doesn't exist? I've rebooted so I'd expect any "locks" to files to be cleared? The VM was only used for a few hours shut down and left off. NOTE: this VM has never even...

Hi all, After having decommissioned a PVE node, I've manually removed each VMs backup within that specific PBS PVE name space used for that PVE host. After what I've delete the name space and ran a garbage collection. It's been a good week now and I cannot see my datastore shrink its usage in...

I was thinking. I'd like to have two different backup pools for proxmox storage. Basically an SSD pool, and a HDD pool. The reason for this would be there may be times when something happens and it's an OH SHIT! We need to restore as fast as possible! Say if we lost a pool in our ZFS VM storage...

Hi there, one of my vms im hosting with proxmox its receiving this error when running a backup to my backup proxmox server over the network. Not Sure why this is happening since my other vms are backing up regularly like scheduled and are not having any issues.

Hello everyone, I hope you are very well and can help me, I happen to have a version of PVE 6.0-4 and recently I have experienced strange behavior on my VMs. I noticed this in the backup task, because it began to throw an error "got timeout", this only happened with a couple of VMs, but over...

Hi All, I'm very new to Proxmox VE. We have a RAID-5 local disk size of roughly 240GB. My manager asked me to install PVE. Allocate disk space with the following: - ISO set to 10GB - Backup set to 50GB - The rest of the space for datastore, i assumed it for local-lvm. How could i achieve his...

Greetings friends of the proxmox community I have a question. I have a nightly backup task of my virtual machines, but I realized that the graph of cpu, ram memory and network usage. They all kind of break. Do you know what it means? Attach an image of the server

Good day, I just started using PBS 2.2. It's on a dedicated server which also contains my in-house file archive and home directories. I plan to bring in a tape library at a later date. The tape features, as near as I can tell, will work just fine. The immediate issue I'm running into is there...

Hi guys, So the question is: are the incremental backups "windows active directory aware" - customer had asked us this question today because apparently there's an old issue with AD, that caused USN rollback errors when a virtual active directory server was restored from an image and we are...

The title pretty much says it all, I'm trying to determine if proxmox provides the capability to create your own custom "backup notes" templates, either via the cli or api since I'm not able to find this feature in the ui. I should clarify that when I say template, I mean a pre-defined/reusable...

Hi, 2 days ago my server had a problem: it had no more space left and therefore the panel no longer wanted to work so I decided to make a backup by hand by copying the .raw of my containers and then reinstalling proxmox on the other disk of my server and put my containers back on it. But it...

Hi all, Just a quick one, I was just wondering how are resources allocated for backups? Is the whole host putting resources and throughput into running backup jobs or are the resources assigned to the VM backup only used? I just ask because I can see the host overall putting no effort in at...

I have a system where we came up short some space. Proxmox 7.0-8 I have 6x 800GB drives RAID Mirror which the VM has pretty much filled up but is ok for the VM just causes Proxmox issues. I would like to add 2x 1TB drives to allow proxmox to have space for updates and gives me a place to create...

Hi Everbody, im configured an external USB as my backup source and i have the following error: ERROR: Backup of VM 100 failed - unable to create temporary directory '/mnt/usb/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2022_01_11-09_41_07.tmp' at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump.pm line 837. i tried to change the...

Good day. I have a couple of VMs up and running, and one of them backs up fine, but one has failed every time. I have an 8 TB drive connected via USB to the Proxmox Server install itself, and added as storage in DataCenter. I have setup a backup job of a VM (101) which is Ubuntu 20.04...

Hi all, I have a question regarding the 'Snapshot' option when it comes to backups. I am looking for a quicker option for less downtime and have been using the Snapshot backup option. I am aware the Snapshot option has more chance for inaccuracies and may cause problems with disk integrity - I...

I have a 5-node Proxmox 6.2 cluster, and I noticed today that all my nodes are keeping up to 90 days of backups (of all VMs), except this particular single node in the cluster which is only keeping the last single day? What is very strange is that they are all backing up to the same storage...

Hello, sorry for the translation, I use google translator. I have two physical servers on a switch that the fiber provider has given me. The fact is that I see that the backups go at a speed of about 40MBs, it seems slow to me. So I thought ... * Can a local connection be made between proxmox...

After seeing Backup Server go GA, I was immediately interested in putting it to use in my home/lab environment. Currently my storage server backs up to warm storage over sftp with Duplicacy and it has some amazing compression+deduplication. It's also cross-machine deduplicating so any machines...
