pbs

Hello, I am writing this thread to ask some questions about my backup system in my Home Lab: First of all, I have a Mini PC with Proxmox VE running, an LXC container with PBS installed with Helper Scripts. I also have an old Synology DS215j NAS used for backups. Following the instructions in...

Hello, I changed PBS server hardware, moved two RAIDZ1 disks with host system and LSI SAS3008 with 24 HDD RAIDZ2 backup storage to a new motherboard. Everything works fine except "Show SMART volume" button. Now it gives error: " Bad Request (400) command "smartctl" "-H" "-A" "-j" "/dev/sde"...

Hi. My pbs server was originally set up without a separate user. I just used root to access it from my pve server. I had to reinstall pve completely. But instead of attached pbs using root@pam, I setup user backups@pbs. But ever since then, all of the previously restored VMS/CTS from the...

Hello, since the thread patch that adresses this https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/low-zfs-read-performance-disk-tape.139494/ still didn't make it upstream I am forced to maintain my own patched Version of PBS, so I have to build my own debian packages. I usually take a clean bookworm vm for...

Hi! I have a main proxmox node with 5-10 VMs. I also have a remote proxmox node with PBS installed as a VM. I want to create some kind of disaster recovery site with this remote proxmox node. My plan is to take backup of the VMs every minute and send to PBS. Most of the VMs are static so...

My automated backups fail due to a free space error, but the disks are far from full. When I invoke a manual backup to the same storage, it works fine. Here are the emailed logs from both situations. The backups are heading to a PBS instance running as an unRAID container which has an external...

Hi all, I'm having issues backing up PVE to PBS, it's very slow and inconsistent write speed. To backup a VM with 300Gib disk takes over an hour. PVE - Lenovo P520 Xeon(R) W-2255 CPU 190 GiB DIMM DDR4 2666 MHz GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB Vms data are stored in ZFS 3x SSD SanDisk X300 DC Raidz1...

Good day, I have a case where the encryption keys had been compromised (failed partnership), and there are a specific set of backups I'd like to re-encrypt with a new encryption key. ie. decrypt the current backup sets, en re-write then with a new backup encryption key. Q1: That is not an...

I've had a PBS install for a few months now and it has been fine, until most recently after things were updated on the PBS VM Searches for this kind of thing on the forums and google have been less than impressive for results. It's certainly not a network or drive issue. 10G fiber connecting...

Hallo, ich habe mal eine doofe Frage, ich bin auf folgende Video gestoßen und möchte gerne mein PBS auf einer NAS haben. In diesem Video wird erzählt, dass man das Betriebssystem (UGOS) nicht nutzen soll, sondern PBS direkt als Betriebssystem installieren soll/kann. Was hat das für Vorteile...

Hi, we using Proxmox updated version: 8.3.2 (we did now upgrade from 7.4.x) in env with Broadcom BCM57504 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb on Dell Server we using remote iscsi over iser storage and pbs for backups, the problem is that each time we have backup for disks > 100Gb it's stop, Hangs the server...

Hi Guys, We have a large (4TB) VM backed up to a bare metal PBS server running on NVME drives. When we map a backup on the PVE host from PBS using proxmox-backup-client to restore specific files/folders, we encounter large network utilisation with extremely low efficiency. IE When restoring 26GB...

When I try to restore a privileged lxc container as unprivileged, I get this error: Error: error extracting archive - encountered unexpected error during extraction: error at entry "": failed to leave directory: failed to apply directory metadata: failed to apply extended attributes: Operation...

So, nachdem ich jetzt einige Wochen Erfahrung mit Proxmox VE und PBS sammeln konnte, wird es Zeit das Thema Backup zu konsolidieren und auf eine dauerhafte Lösung umzustellen. Ich bitte um Review und Kommentare zu meinem Plan: In den Backup sollen: VMs und CTs eines Proxmox VE Clusters...

Hello there, I've got an issue with PBS 3.2 and PVE 8.2 VM Backups to SSHFS Storage. I'm experiencing continuous backup failures when backing up VMs to a remote SSHFS datastore. Container backups work fine (4GB backups complete successfully), but VM backups always fail with a broken pipe error...

Hello. I have a remote PBS with 2 disks as a ZFS-mirror. It all worked great but the disks got completely full so it is not operable anymore. I can access it through GUI and SSH, but I can only run few commands. I have deleted almost every log and most of its backups and then waited for more...

Hello, I use Proxmox Backup Server (3.2.9) and often face an issue with my storage. My disk usage is frequently between 90-95% of its capacity. To avoid exceeding 95%, I regularly check the storage status and manually delete some backups I consider non-essential. Afterward, I run a garbage...

I have recently setup a new PBS and pointed the pve to backup to that. PBS (3.3.2) PVE (8.3.2) Here's the backup log INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 993 --storage bulk-pbs --notification-mode auto --node pve1 --remove 0 --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --mode stop INFO: Starting Backup...

I have 2 PVE hosts and one PBS host. PVE A is located at the same location as PBS and works fine. PVE B is at a second location and backups seem to get stuck at 0% and never progress. Both sites are running pfsense firewalls. I have a wireguard site-to-site tunnel between each. MTU &...

I was wondering if there was a way to copy a backup from PBS and then upload it to cloud storage such as S3 or Backblaze B2. The utility of this would be to have offsite backups. I've already tried mounting the B2 bucket via the s3fs program, but apparently PBS and s3fs don't get along...
