    Node Drops from Cluster When PBS Kicks In

    Hello, I've seen this happen a few times now and it's always right when PBS goes to do backups on the node. The node keeps logging but drops from the cluster and shows offline. Here are the logs: And then for the rest of the night it just logs these timeouts: Not sure what logs to pull to...

    cannot delete datastore

    Due to an unexpected PBS server reboot, I had lots of errors on my datastore. This is a lab environment, so I decided to start from scratch with that disk. I remove the datastore, and now it is "stuck" in maintenance mode. It isn't deleted (yet logs show "datastore 'ssd_one_tb' is in datastore...

    Datei-Backup erstellen

    Ich suche eine Möglichkeit Datei Backups zu erstellen. Use-case: Meine Idealvorstellung wäre, wenn ich auf dem Proxmox Backup Server nicht nur LXC/VM-Container auswählen könnte, sondern auch Verzeichnisse (z.B. aus einem LXC Container). Für diese würden dann, genau so wie für meine container...

    PBS better on a NAS or PVE host?

    YES, I AM WELL AWARE THAT NEITHER IS SUPPORTED, pretty much nothing in my lab is ;), no need to tell me this 5 times.

    vzdump namespace support when used with pbs.

    Hello, Currently vzdump on PVE has no namespace support, but instead relies on having the backup storage linked with a namespace in the storage configuration. While this is probably a perfectly fine option for some. In our case this would mean we need to connect roughly 600 storage drives to...
