Hello everyone, Is there any way to have retention run based on DATE instead of COUNT? The PBS 4.1.6 Prune settings do not allow for any "delete after 1 month" or the like. The problem with this is that any time a VM changes ID, gets deleted or moves to a different namespace those backups get...

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'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...
