backups

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...

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! I did some test backuping 2 different PVE servers on 1 datastore and ran into some problems my test lab looks like this: pve1 -> backup -> pbs1 -> replication -> pbs2 pve2 -> backup -> pbs2 1st thing: running the backup task on pve2 to pbs2 land me to an error: " INFO: Error: backup...

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...
