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 Proxmox Team, I am experiencing a persistent Garbage Collection failure on Proxmox Backup Server when using an S3-compatible object storage backend. Environment: - Proxmox Backup Server version: proxmox-backup-server 4.1.1-1 running version: 4.1.1 - Datastore name: cloud-backup - Storage...

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...

Proxmox VE 9.1.4 Proxmox Backup Server 4.10 (The problem did not occur under PVE 8 / PBS 3) Object: Container Disk 0: "root" Disk 1: "mp0" (/mnt/db_backups) Disk locations: ZFS ZVOL Problem: Backup to PBS fails with the following error: (Note the double "/" in the path after vzsnap0)...

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...

Hello, I’m trying to build a clean backup workflow with Proxmox VE 9 and Proxmox Backup Server, but I’m stuck. Environment: - Proxmox VE 9.1.x - Proxmox Backup Server on a separate physical host - PBS added as storage (type: pbs) - Backup job: Datacenter -> Backup (vzdump) - Backup covers ALL...

Clickbait headline, but I think it is true :) Maybe others can chime in with their setups and why they need beefy hardware. Here is my PBS testimonial. Reading the documentation I was a little bit scared. Especially the storage part seemed brutal. Turns out it is not that bad and I...

Hi there! I've encountered the following problem. I have an HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9 running PVE 9 with the latest updates. PVE is installed on two separate disks in a mirror. Two VMs are deployed on it: TrueNAS 25.10.0.1 and PBS 4.0.21. For TrueNAS storage, I've forwarded another disk group in...

Hello Everyone, we inherited a client with a very non ideal backup concept. The backups are done by a PBS VM that lives on a PVE Host. The PBS host has a permanent datastore on a local mountpoint that mounts an NFS share on a synology NAS over 10G Link to a RAID5 Array of HDDs. This is first...

Hallo zusammen, ich kämpfe gerade mit ACME-Zertifikaten auf einem Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). Hintergrund kurz: Infrastruktur: Proxmox VE Cluster (3 Nodes) + PBS in einer VM Externe CA: existiert und funktioniert bei den Proxmox-Nodes (ACME‑Zertifikate werden angefordert und automatisch...
