pbs

Hi all. Proxmox started spamming with a backup job. Immediately after the task is completed, it starts it again. What could it be?

Hello everbody, we are using pbs 2.2.5 and I have to admit that I don't fully understand the backup solution yet. My question in a nutshell: "Where do I find the full backups of my vms?" I know that pbs uses incremental backups, but as far as I have used incremental backups in the past, I...

Hi I have a Linux server where I must restore 40Go of files. This server is hosted in a VM on PVE, and backuped on PBS. The backup file is encrypted by a key known by PVE administrator, but not the VM owner (so I can not deploy the backup-client on the VM). I don't want do download a 40G file...

The goal is to spin up a EC2 instance that runs PBS for off-site backups. I followed the instructions here I spun up a fresh Debian 11 (HVM) instance and attempted to install PBS with 'apt-get install proxmox-backup-server'. When the installer removes ifupdown, we lose network connectivity to...

Hello, I have recently upgraded my PVE data store (zfs) with some larger drives and am having an issue restoring my largest LXC container. Once the transfer is completed, it throws the following error before deleting the copied data: recovering backed-up configuration from...

Hello Everyone, This could be TL;DR I use Proxmox from the very beginning and I use ZFS for ages back when I had to compile it by myself and official PVE did not support using ZFS. I use smaller clusters (2 - 6 nodes, but a cluster is a cluster in case of 3+ nodes, so, if you see one, you saw...

Hi Guys, i have a question related to updates on PBS, i have one (Main) PBS with an Enterprise Repo and a (Slave) with the No-Subscription Repo, the datastore is fully synced to the slave (sync-job initiated via slave). I guess it's not recommended to have these differences on the repos when...

Hello everyone, I just discovered something really odd regarding the encrypted backups to pbs and I wanted to share. I have setup my encrypted backup to a locally hosted pbs instance. The encryption key is stored in client at etc/pve/priv/storage/<STORAGE-ID>.enc. If you remove this file...

Guten Morgen liebe Community, seit einigen Tagen ist auf meinem PBS kein Login mehr möglich. Über den Benutzernamen und das Passwort komme ich noch hinaus, die Eingabe vom zweiten Faktor klappt jedoch nicht mehr. Gibt es die Möglichkeit die 2FA Option für den Benutzer root(pam) zu deaktiveren...

Hi! I'm using (or trying to) PBS, and there is something really weird: why it is possible to see the backup content of CTs and VMs format in the PVE interface, but not the HOST format?

Hello! I'm trying PBS for the first time, and I'm facing some trouble with the backup of just one of my containers. This problematic container is running docker (Portainer, Traefik and a bunch of others). There are 3 volumes attached: 1) root disk: 6GB (backup=yes) 2) /opt: 8GB (backup=yes)...

hello dears we use PBS version2 with hook script to finalize process. in PVE version 7 we cant get backup file name and this variable is null. syntax: $ENV{TARFILE} how can get name in this version? thanks

Hello, due to limitations of our setup and Proxmox combined, I'm in need of writing some generic Data to tape. Basically, I want to sync files (from a windows box) to Proxmox, and then write that to tape(s). I can of course create a datastore, and just dump the files into that folder, the...

I'm wondering if any body else is having issues. I have stopped receiving notifications from PVE. Either through Outlook or Gmail accounts. Could this have to do with their emails becoming more secure? Or perhaps this is an internal issue? I would appreciate help. I think the latest email I...

Hi, Right now I got a single PBS-VM1 on Host2 that got its datastore from Host2 via NFS. And this PBS-VM1 and NFS share is available all the time. Problem is that I can't backup Host2 or guests on it, because if Host2 fails there would be no running PBS to restore them from. I also got Host1...

Hi, I have set up a sync job between 2 PBS on 2 sites, A ---> B, (both running on an OpenMediaVault install, both PBS 2.2-3) a few months ago and everything was running smoothly so far. 2 sync jobs a day, running after the backups are done on site A. For 2 days now, I've got the following...

Hi, I have sometimes errors with the VSS Writer making Backups. Windows Event Log Summary: Jul 05 12:11:29 0.12298 VSS Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The I/O writes cannot be held during the shadow copy creation period on volume \?\Volume{8f7aaeb9-08b6-42dc-8866-e03d56525d84}\. The volume...

Out of curiosity, is there a way to recover a deleted PBS backup within the 24 hour grace period as noted in the official documentation before the garbage collector ran? If so, what command can be used to re-reference the 'unused chunks'? Screenshot as seen here:

Hello all, with a virtual machine (running on Proxmox of course) and which I backup via Proxmox Backup Server I have the problem that it reuses too little data in my opinion and thus my backup grows incredibly: INFO: backup was done incrementally, reused 779.67 GiB (29%) INFO: transferred...
