I want to schedule my backups with PBS to be done every day at the same time (7pm) But if I do that, I know that each PVE Host will start a simultaneous backup with another PVE Host, and this will create a bottleneck in my PBS. What's the best way to limit just 1 or 2 simultaneous backups to...

Hi, I‘d like to have your opinion or some reference to howtos or manuals about how to backup/restore Proxmox VE Host. My setup: 1) Proxmox VE installed on Intel NUC on nvme0 2) Proxmox Backup Server in LXC container backed up by Proxmox VE schedule on NFS share 3) Proxmox VMs and CTs (apart...

So my journey has begun! I'm pondering on this one question I can't seem to find a suiting answer for. Here's the situation: If you have Proxmox. You install PBS as a VM on a node. PBS automatically backs up to an external Truenas machine. If the node goes corrupted for some reason, the...

I setup a up to date PBS with an up to date PVE server. I've limited the incoming rate to 50MiB/s. Looking at the system metrics the results looks quite correct, thats the good part. But I'm confused because the values shown in the backup job on the PVE server are much higher than the limit (see...

Hi, Currently I'm running a PVE node on a dedicated host at a host provider. On that host I have a firewall VM to handle all traffic (including traffic of PVE itself). Storage is ZFS based for the PVE server (boot and VM pools) When I perform a backup of the firewall to my remote PBS server I...

Hi, I'm a long time user of Proxmox ve and Proxmox backup server since it came out. Currently I'm optimising my backup setup, and I was wondering how hard it would be to add some additional logic to the backups. It would be very handy to have the following options added to the mix: Exclude...

This is my first post here and I apologise if this has already been covered but I couldn't find anything on the forum which has the information I need. The situation is that I have PVE v7 with an Xpenology VM of around 4.2TB. My intention was to reorganise the disks in the server, so I got a...

I have experimented with Proxmox and Linux (new for me, though I have a unix-like background experience) and set up the following setup: Hardware: standard x86 Core i5 External 2TB SSD RAID (pvehost:/dev/sda) Internal 1TB SSD (pvehost:/dev/nvme0n1 hardware encrypted, key to be entered at boot)...

I have installed PBS on PVE. I would like to create a storage area for PBS on a large-ish external RAID on which already another LV has been created for other purposes. Based on the manual(s), I am having trouble understanding how to set this up. I don't want to use the entire external disk for...

Hello, while restoring a vm backup over the pbs i noticed that the restore took a huge amount of time, multiple hours in fact which would be catastrophic for a productive system that needs to be restored in case of sudden crashes. So i tried to look into the possible reasons as of why the...

Hello, I have two proxmox backup servers. One offiste to archive the backups from the first one. The offsite server (offsite) gets the backups from the first one (backup1) with sync jobs. This works for multiple datastores except for one. This datastore have about 2520 hosts. Sometimes the...

Good afternoon. I need to synchronize all VMs except (111909 and 400000). But when the regular expression ^((?!vm/400000).)*$ throws an error. How else can I do it? The task is next. There are 2 errors at different times. All machines, except for two, should be synchronized at one time, and...

no retention policy in pve/storage or pbs/storage. only setup retention in backup jobs. today notice job with keep 3 months will only keep the last one (previous one will be removed). then test 90 days, same behavior. now change to keep last xxx backup count, this option is horned by pbs. also...

Hi folks, Where in the file system shall I request a mount point to be mounted at boot time? What I'm currently doind post boot is simply that: root@pbs:~# mount fqdn:/volume/datastore /mnt/ds1/ Obviously a datastore is hosted on that mounted NFS share. Everything works all fine, I'd just...

Hello i am facil this issue every second on my pbs, i tried updating to last version but no way. Oct 03 20:45:22 backup proxmox-backup-proxy[1172]: OPTIONS /: 400 Bad Request: [client [::ffff:XX.XX.XX.XX]:39553] Unsupported HTTP method OPTIONS any suggestion?

Hello all, I'm thinking about migrating to PBS for on-site & off-site backup. While the connection between headquarters and branch office is relatively (very) slow, the backups have always lagged behind for some days (using copy job in Veeam). The lagging is not a problem while is ok that i...

Hello, With the PVE backup job also providing a retention policy option, what is now the recommended way to set up retention policy? Implementing it in PVE seems natural since the backup job details will show you the retention settings as well giving you the complete picture. Does implementing...

Hello. I had PVE and PBS installed on the same host on the same SDD. A backup was made on the second HDD using PBS. I initiated an SSD drive failure, changed it, reinstalled PVE and PBS. Edited the datastore.cfg file to see my backups in PBS. This went well. I got my VMs back successfully, but...

Dear Proxmox fans, I used to experiment with Proxmox Backup system and also have previously tried to use Proxmox Backup Client for more manual way to do backups. Now, I don't plan to use the Client manually anymore and here is the question: Which of the following folders are really Backup...

Hello, I have Proxmox & TrueNAS on my network. I created a PBS container on Proxmox and want to use the TrueNAS as the backup datastore for PBS since I have already setup ZFS Replication from TrueNAS to another server. So when I use TrueNAS for PBS, I would get 2 backups for the price of 1...
