Hi all I have been backing up 4 vms from a Proxmox server to a proxmox backup server for months now with no errors, over the last few weeks 4 or 5 times a week i get an error (See the log below) only on 1 out of the 4 vms that i backup, i run two backups a day sometimes both error sometimes...

Good day I have pbs vm for all my backups, the pbs syncs these to an offsite pbs for long term storage. my problem is that proxmox hangs on shutdown, due to the pbs storage location being offline. I have seen I can use hook scripts to perform actions depending on vm status, and I have seen...

I tried updating my PBS from 6.8.12-18 to 6.8.12-20 and received an error. Here's the console output (errors have been put in bold: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages were...

I needed help managing my 3 Proxmox Backup servers with bi directional replication so I used Claude code to create an MCP ( api server for AI applications ) to help manage things . Here it is : https://github.com/szoran53/pbs-mcp-server

Hi! we are experiencing a consistent restore performance limit of about 2.5 - 3 GB/s when restoring from PBS to PVE. TL;DR: Restore speed from PBS to PVE is capped, independent of any configurations. CPU is not saturated and we cannot identify the bottleneck. Environment Fast system overall...

I use a Let' s Encrypt cert on both my PVE and PBS servers. This morning I woke up to a bunch of email alerts of failed backups and datastore connection failures. After some messing about I found that the cert on my PBS server had renewed so the fingerprints no longer matched. Was an easy fix...

I am having issues implementing a PVE backup solution for a couple of my VMs and was hoping for some help/guidance. Here is my setup: I have pve cluster running several VMs. Two of those VMs are a matched pair that handles our business's core software/database with a clustering agent to...

The Problem : Stop Mode backups on Windows VMs running databases (SQL Server, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, etc.) fail with: ERROR: VM quit/powerdown failed timeout waiting on systemd After backup, services won't start → Event Viewer shows "Service did not respond in a timely fashion" ---...

Moin! Ich bin neu in der Proxmox-Welt und habe eine Frage bezüglich PBS. Ich setze momentan ein Cluster für unsere produktive Umgebung auf. (Wechsel von VMware). Wir haben bisher für unseren Backup-Traffic ein separates Netz genutzt. Dies möchte ich nun gerne fortführen. Dieses Netz liegt...

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...
