    Hi, I've been running PBS for some months on an LXC Debian 11 container and I was wondering if I could upgrade LXC Debian to bookworm (12) release or if I should wait and official release of PBS running on Debian 12 before performing the upgrade. Any suggestion? There is no hurry for me to...

    Cluster regularly losing qourum

    I have an 12 node homelab that is regularly losing quorum. I think it might be due to a combination of high bandwidth activities (e.g. backups to a separate PBS server) and corosync being latency sensitive. The 12 nodes are almost all 1L PCs (e.g. Dell and Lenovo tiny/micro form factors). I...

    Can you mount CephFS on PBS as Datastore?

    Hello guys, we have a PBS running in our Dev-Environment with a Tape-Lib attached, but as I found out, you can only backup to tape if the backups are on a Datastore beforehand...

    [SOLVED] How to browse the files of a VM backup

    I saw that this question shows up often but I still didn't found an answer. On PBS I can browse directly the content of a LXCs backup because it's done file-level. On the other side, VMs backups are done on the block-level so I can't directly browse their content. My final question is...
