offsite

Hi, I have two Proxmox hosts running in a homeblab setting. I know that with Proxmox Backup Server you can enable encryption, but Proxmox VE doesn't come with encryption out of the box. My goal is to do an encrypted offsite backup in case something catastrophic happens (like fire), preferably...

I'm in the process of redoing my proxmox cluster setup and PBS server. I don't want to lose the VM backed up in PBS as I'll need all that to restore to the new instances of PVE. Is it possible to connect a USB Drive or rclone or some other method to save what's in PBS' datastore and be able to...

We moved the hardware we had on-hand to Proxmox a year ago and now looking ahead to what's next (Fine tuning, improve reliability, and best practices). This is for a small business of around 10 users with a small amount of data (1.5 TB). The data is mostly spreadsheets, documents, and Access...

Hi there. I'm experimenting a bit with setting up a 3-2-1 strategy for my home lab. The setup is pretty much the following: a tiny PVE cluster with some nodes and one shared bigger (>20TB) storage node a tiny PBS node with large primary backup storage (zfs, >20TB) and a hotswap HDD used for...

I have PBS running with an external USB docking station containing an 8TB drive (drive A). In order to do offsite backup rotations, what I did first was a full backup of proxmox VM's and containers to PBS 8TB drive A. I then cloned the drive to another 8TB drive B. Once I week, I shut down...

Good afternoon, all I'm wondering about the use of a PBS server as offsite backups? I understand that I would only need to forward port 8007, but would this have any security issues associated with it, i.e are the backups sent in a secure format, and is the PBS login safe to have network...

Hello, I would like to synchronize my backups from my PBS in the local network to my PBS on an offsite server. In order to do that I have to open port 8007 as far as I know. Now I am wondering if it is safe to open this port to the internet. If the port is open, you can also access the config...

Hi There, We're running a cluster of two PMGs. They're located in different networks in different locations for geo redundancy. Now we have the following issue: One location will be offline for a day or two - this also means that the mail servers are offline and the second gateway should...

OK, I know that this is not an issue that most people are dealing with. 2023-02-02T09:27:20-06:00: sync group vm/105 failed - unable to acquire lock on snapshot directory "/mnt/datastore/PBS-01_ZFS-1/vm/105/2023-02-02T15:30:03Z" - locked by another operation We take backups of our Logging an...

I am looking for suggestions. I have a small number of VM's that are critical for me and I want to offsite my backups to AWS. I would really like to use an amazon Tape Gateway, This makes sense to me because I already have a stack of LTO5 tapes that will need to be migrated. I know there have...
