Hello Proxmox Community, As my offsite backup solution, I decided to go for a Hetzner Storage Box and mount it on my old Intel NUC. I've used Rclone for it, create a systemd for it to auto mount it. I also tried using CIFs for it with the same result. I can see the .chunks and .lock directoy...

I am running PBS as a VM on Unraid, which works perfectly so far. My main datastore is mapped according to the tutorial at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-to-setup-pbs-as-a-vm-in-unraid-and-uses-virtiofs-to-passthrough-shares.120271/#post-522318 via the virtiofs driver. The mapped drives...

We are Plan using PBS and considering to adjust our backup retention policy to balance long-term restore capability with efficient storage usage. Daily Backup Job (Incremental) Schedule: Daily Compression: ZSTD Retention: Keep-Daily = 90 days Weekly Backup Job (Full) Schedule: Every...

Hallo, ich weiß natürlich, dass Backups immer getrennt vom Server System laufen sollen. Ich habe aber nur ein Home Assistant System und einige LXC/VM für den Heimgebrauch am laufen Bisher sicherere ich noch über den PVE auf eine NAS die aber ausgemustert werden muss. Jetzt hätte ich vor, auf dem...

Hello everyone, I've setted up a PUSH sync job at 10MiB/s but this limit doesen't work as aspected. On the both firewall interfacess graph and zabbix monitoring I have the evidance that the sync job went at more del 200Mbps. I would have expected more or less 100Mbps. Has this happened to anyone...

I have a Proxmox VE server with one VM on it. And I consider to setup a backup job to PBS every hour. But sometimes happen that the backup job is not finnished and a new backup job waits for end of previous backup and when it stops the new backup start immediately and then another backup job is...

Hi, I got a PBS server with 2x 3.8TB SSD with PBS installed as a RAIDZ1 and 12x 4TB HDD RAIDZ3 where the backups are saved. I noticed that only one of the SSDs has boot and biosboot partitions, so I guess that if it breaks the other disk can't be booted. Is there a way to reinstall PBS so that...

What? Are you wanting to use PBS to backup your servers, but want to use TrueNAS as the storage handler? I've been using this setup for the last few weeks and it has worked perfectly. With the latest update of TrueNAS Community Edition, 25.04, you can run Linux Containers (LXC) natively on the...

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...
