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...

Hello! I've recently set up a new dedicated server for PBS. When I run backups now the host drops the iscsi connection to the storage. What's really puzzling is that the connection is on a different physical interface and network, and backing up to the previous server (which was a VM running on...

I have 2 proxmox backup servers. One is located in the same rack as my proxmox cluster, one is located at a different location. The proxmox backup server that is located at my office has 4tb of backups already. I installed a new remote backup server today and created a pull job. Connection...

Hi All! I would like to schedule backups for a filesystem on my PVE host to the PBS server with proxmox-backup-client. Running proxmox-backup-client backup "${LABEL}.pxar:${SOURCE_PATH}" --repository "${PBS_REPOSITORY}" without $PBS_PASSWORD set works fine. This prompts me for the password of...

Hi everyone, I’m looking into using Proxmox for a deployment and had a few questions about its capabilities. I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience or insights: Scaling: Can Proxmox handle a cluster with 128 nodes or more? Are there any practical limitations or tips for...

Hello, folks! I'm using some virtiofs-shares on my host. Those are connected to different VMs and I want to know, if those shares are automatically safed by the PBS in a regular backup-job or do I have to take care on those manually? Thanks in advance!

Great to see S3 compatible storage support I only starts using PBS recently So far so good on using local storage However I tried out S3 datastore and found out there is namespace (I was using root namespace on local too, switched just today... But I found a few issues which makes it unusable...

I noticed constant cpu usage of PBS server even its idle and no operations are in progress. When started investigating, I found that access.log logs are flooded by such kind of lines: GET /api2/json/admin/datastore GET /api2/json/admin/datastore/backup/status and auth.log is full of ...

Hello everyone :) I've been working with Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server for some time, and after testing many available backup scripts, I realized there's no quick and easy way to save Proxmox system data, configurations, and structures. In the event of an operating system disaster, it is...
