Hello! Late last year I decided to finally switch my windows server to Proxmox. Before the switch, I had two hdd formatted as ntfs and setup as raid with "intel rapid storage technology" with all my photos and videos. When I switched I decided to not immediately erase the old drive but instead...

I've just had to restore some VMs on PVE due to power outage creating some corruption on my local-lvm array. When I restored the PBS VM from a recent backup, I noticed a lot of breakages (since fixed), with apparmor not allowing dhclient, python being broken and upgrades not working. But one...

Is the R610 Is Good for Proxmox Backup Server? I know it’s older but will it be a good production server? If so, how would you dress it up? If not, why not?

I'm making PBS email me vital emails. i use m365. is that the best route to go with email? it seems to be problematic, so far. im trying to make this command work but i keep bombing out. does it look right? proxmox-backup-manager notification endpoint smtp create prod-mail \ --server...

Hi, Does anyone have experience migrating existing backups from IBM Tivoli TSM/Spectrum Protect to Proxmox Backup Server? I'm looking at migrating TSM backups on tapes to PBS backups on tapes and NFS backends, while PBS takes over the current backup load. I'm also looking at ways to migrate...

Hello, dear community! I set up the machine with PBS. In the web UI, I set the ZFS pool, and in the shell, I created a pair of datasets beneath it with root, and after that, I added them as datastores via UI. The first one is for backups from my PVE instance, and the second one would be used as...

Hallo, ich habe aktuell das Problem, das der Kernel nicht aktualisiert wird, da angeblich auf der Festplatte kein Platz mehr ist, was komisch ist, da dies nicht stimmt. Das ist der Fehler: No /etc/kernel/cmdline found - falling back to /proc/cmdline Copying and configuring kernels on...

I (and many others I am sure) would really like to see proxmox make download.cdn.proxmox.com (or a copy of it) available via rsync. The proxmox-offline-mirror tool is very convoluted to use, and requires quite a relatively large degree of maintenance (snapshots with garbage collection) in...

Hello! I have been running into some issues backing up a larger server, so I mounted a spare disk and asked vzdump to use it as a temporary directory pbs:/# cat /etc/vzdump.conf tmpdir: /mnt/pbs-datastore but PBS doesn't seem to pick up that I defined that. I've tried restarting PBS just to...

Hello everyone. Im writing this because I dont know what to do anymore. I installed PBS 2 weeks before and tried doing backup test today. Lets just say that 30 GB took 19 hours. My internet connection is not the problem. The PBS is located somewhere connected through Tailscale. It also has SSD...

So I've recently discovered an unplugged USB drive will cause PBS to spam IO errors to a log file until it fills the hard drive and borks itself so I figured I would adjust the logrotate settings to include a maxsize directive to logrotate, only I can't seem to find any PBS-specific files in...

Hello, I am experiencing a network bottleneck issue. The network bandwidth between our Main site and DR site is limited to 10 Mbps. I understand this is quite slow, but we are unable to increase the bandwidth at this time due to cost constraints. As a result, the synchronization jobs take a...

Hi everyone, I am encountering a persistent failure when attempting to use Proxmox Backup Server (v4.1) with Google Cloud Storage (GCS) as a remote target using the S3 Feature. The job starts correctly and syncs data, but as soon as it attempts to delete a vanished snapshot or perform cleanup...

Hi I have a question: How to best secure PBS backup ? I can do lot of things, separated vLans for storage, firewall rules, but if someone hack the root of the PVE, which have a PBS mounted, so we have a problem. Attacker can read storage.cfg and storage.pw and use it for the connection to PBS...

Hello all! Got our tape library installed into our PBS. I've got the drives and tapes all working and assigned to pools. I've started building out tape backup jobs, but I'm having an issue from what is likely my misunderstanding on how to setup the job correctly. I'm wanting the job to backup...

This post was made in regards to bug report 3086: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3086 Update: I've updated the code to include an email report to mirror the basics of what the backup job provides and verified that both the log and the email functions as expected. This should work...

I run pve and pbs on two sites (my home, parents home) both on version 4.1.0. I sync via a pbs push job from home → parents. Today i read the push job log and noticed the following 2025-12-18T10:12:37+01:00: Starting datastore sync job...

Ich habe ein Großes Problem, ich bekomme keinen Restoren vom PBS mehr hin. Ich habe auf einen Qnap ts-253be auf der Virtualisierungs Station ein PBS am laufen. Alle Restores funktionieren die kleiner 100GB sind. Leider war ich so dumm und habe ein OMV als NAS am laufen gehabt mit 1,5 TB, und...
