pbs

Disclaimer: All this is done in a homelab (non-production) environment with a limited budget. TLDR: One central ssd zfs pool shared storage (distinct machine) added to proxmox (two other machines) used for VM app storage (not the VM OS itself). I also want PBS/deduplicated backups. How do I go...

Hi, I'm trying to set up a proxmox backup client systemd-unit using credentials management as described [here](https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html#system-and-service-credentials). When running the command from the cli on the client everything is working fine but having translated it...

I have PBS running in a VM on PVE. Backup runs once a day during night. Normally there's not mucht to do as not much has changed and dedup does a good job. So PBS returns after 15 to 30 mins. Altough it does not consume much CPU and RAM during the rest of the day, I still wonder if it makes...

Hallo zusammen, ich habe einen Proxmox Datacenter Manager (PDM) als VM aufgesetzt. Das SSL-Zertifikat muss ich über DNS Challenge bei Lets Encrypt abrufen. Die Domain wird beim DNS Hoster desec.io eingerichtet. Da sich bei dem DNS System und ein Anycast handelt, findet der ACME Client von PDM...

I have a lab setup at home. Have a little n100 PC doing PBS backups of a PVE server and everything has been going great and just starting recently getting this error. Ive reviewed things and chatgpt said do a few things to check for free space and space isn't an issue but the backup continues to...

Good afternoon, recently we have started to observe the presence of the error ERROR: interrupted by signal, when performing a backup using Proxmox Backup Server, this problem does not occur for all virtual machines, but for certain ones, these machines are not connected to each other. Moreover...

Sometimes it can happen, a ZFS pool become 100% full. Since ZFS is a COW (Copy-on-Write FS), it is very difficult to remove data from it because at least enough space must be free to write a timestamp. To prevent this from happening, you can create a dataset and reserve some storage space (~20...

Hello everybody, I wanted to restore only a VHD that was damaged after a fall of light in my personal lab. What would be the procedure for this? I don't see an option that allows me to do this. Can you help me?

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to you, because I can't resolve my backup issues for a few months now. Most of the time my backups are running fine and are working, but I keep getting hickups. First my Setup: - PVE: HP ProDesk 400 G9 i5-12500T, 64GB DDR4, NVME SSD as local datastore with lvm...

Hello team, I have mounted a PBS on a local datastore of one node, and I have another node with a different local datastore. Can I add the local datastore from node 2 to the PBS? Thanks!

in the past, pbs would refrain from deleting chunks for 24 hours "for file systems that have a low a-time". we are using zfs file system. i know zfs has an a-time for all blocks. does pbs use that? or something of its own? if it's not using zfs a-time, i wanna turn it off for the performance...

Hi all, We have a bunch of VMs that we back up twice a day, to 2 different destinations: once to PBS and once to NFS. I had expected the dirty-bitmap to become invalid because of the alternating backup destinations, but apparently, that's not an issue because one uses vzdump and the other PBS...

Hi! I have very good user experince with pve + pbs solutions and thanks for the good software! Currently pbs system runs on system like - server: PRIMERGY RX2530 M7S - cpu: 2 x Intel GOLD 6548Y+ (core/threads 32/64 per cpu) - memory: 512 G DDR5 - storage: 10 x 15 TB Micron 7450 nvme devices -...

I'm evaluating our strategy for moving our PBS with a valid enterprise license to a new hardware. As we're installing PBS on a new bare metal server, I am wondering how I should move the license. Do I need to deregister the old PBS first, or can I simply register the new PBS and subsequently...

Hi all, I'm having some issues with the sudden change in fingerprint of my PBS server, obviously as a result of the LE cert rotation. I found this issue through the article here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/unexpected-change-of-fingerprint.114313/ My query is, since I have one management...

For VM performance and backup optimization I use separate disks for temporary data like: - swap - logs - system temp-folders - temporary DBs (like tmpdb in MSSQL) - local backups, software packages and many other not-critical stuff Separate disks allow 4 important things: 1) Efficient...

Hallo zusammen Es ist so das ich mein Proxmox extern sichern möchte. Zurzeit habe ich keine Möglichkeit, am externen Ort eine Portfreigabe mit DDNS einzurichten. Mir ist aber gelungen, im CT WireGuard zu installieren und eine Verbindung per VPN zum PBS herzustellen. Was mir noch nicht...

My backups (to PBS) are scheduled to run every night at 1:30am. For the last few nights, I get a warning from my Unifi switch saying that "multiple devices are using IP address 192.168.20.51..." which is the IP assigned to my bare metal PVE node. Nothing special about the node, it's a Mini NUC...
