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...

PVE 6.3-3 I created zfspool "NC.VM.Backups.zfspool" under the parent zfspool "Nextcloud.Storage". I then tried to mount a directory at that site, but cannot select it as a backup target. INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 69420 --remove 0 --mode snapshot --node TracheServ --compress zstd...

PVE 6.2-15 I've been scheduling backups through the GUI in "Snapshot" mode but have noticed that the file sizes are appreciably larger than "Snapshots" through the individual VM's options. I realized that backups are formatted as VZDump files whereas the snapshots are raw disk images. For...

hello We have a 3 nodes Ceph cluster working fine. What is the best tool to make backups ? We use at now vzdump in full mode we we would like tu use incremental. Thanks.

Hello Everybody, Great news about the PVE Backup Server. Are there any suggestions for backing up remotely? I am assisting to setup in a small office that does not necessarily have the room for additional backup scenarios like many mentioned on these forums. In another location, we setup a...

So currently I am using Proxmox 6.2 on all my clusters. I have a Synology NAS unit that provides me over 60TB of NFS storage that I use to place the backups nightly onto. I use the integrated backup product that has been in PVE for a very long time. I've been very happy with the new ZST backup...

I followed this to create an area for my USB drive to backup to, however it doesn't seem like this can be used for the "Backup" feature of proxmox. Is this an okay way to set up a drive for backups or does it need to be mounted using shell? I'm trying to stay within the application as much as...

Hi Everyone, im pretty new with ProxMox and Linux system, and i would be happy if if i get some help with my problem. i have 2 USB and i would like to configure the ProxMox in such a way that it automaticly backup in my USB, the thing is that how can i configure it in a way if i remove USB1...

Hellu It would be great to have support for Gotify, so we can have push notifications for updates and/or backups instead of only emails. You only have to execute a `curl` command to push a message.

Hallo Com, ich würde gerne von Proxmox und meinen VM's / LXC's ein Backup erstellen, hierzu habe ich aber auf dem NUC selber keine Möglichkeit, auch gibt es kein NAS im Haus. Dafür habe ich aber einen Windows Server, der genug Speicherkapazität hat. Wie kann ich diesen nun unter Proxmox...

Title says it. I can't be the only one with a list of VM/CT backups wishing that those backup files showed more than just the CT/VM# and DTG. Proxmox kinda assumes that the latest backup is always the desired backup to restore, but that's just not always the case. I typically only do backups...

Hello Everybody, I have setup a NFS Storage on a Snyology RS816 unit to be used with my Proxmox setup. I've setup daily nightly backups to that location. However, it looks like the storage place is getting full and doesn't free up space when I delete the vzdumps there. Is there something...
