Dear all:
I'm trying to integrate our physical machines into the PBS.
For the first Ubuntu machines, the first initial backups via proxmox-backup-client have succeeded -- I'll come back with build-questions for RPM-based distros!
But I did not find "best practice" advice how to set up the...
Hi,
I am interested to leverage proxmox-backup-client to make backups on my hosts. I read several forum posts and tutorials and have successfully created the backup.
Questions:
1/ I noticed that /etc/pve is not included in the backup, nor did I specified it in the .pxarexclude file. Why is...

Contents of filename1 would be "ActualPassword" (no quotes)

Both me and a coworker are getting the following error when attempting to install proxmox-backup-client on the latest version of Ubuntu:
Any idea on how to best resolve this package version discrepancy? Our attempts resulted in a broken machine.
Since there is currently no official RPM build, I created automated builds of the proxmox-backup-client for RHEL based distros on Fedora's COPR.
You can find the builds and further instructions here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/derenderkeks/proxmox-backup-client/

I'm having problems with the --ns option for proxmox-backup-client.
I can back up a client directory to the Root Namespace, as expected, using the following:

I...
I thought I'd experiment with using the Windows Subsystem for Linux which allows access to windows files at /mnt/c. Steps and output follow, but I am currently stuck with an error: "catalog upload error - channel closed" "Error: stat failed on "DumpStack.log.tmp": EACCES: Permission denied"...
Hello
tl/dr: Can proxmox-backup-client "go over"/follow softlink and backup real file but not softlink?
We have a daily backups windows hosts with UrBackups, then we want to geo-copy to the existing PBS on other localisation we already had. Urbackup share is mounted on PBS over NFS-readonly...

Dear Proxmox Community,
we have been running Proxmox VE + Proxmox BS and are quite happy with it.
Just this morning, I needed to restore a single file from an old backup and it's been as easy and fast as it could possibly be.
So a big thank you to the proxmox team for a nice, easy and...
Hi,
I'm using Proxmox Backup Client on a Debian virtual machine on Proxmox VE to backup a quite large NFS share (~ 10 Tb) mounted on the VM.
The backup works, but it's very slow.
First backup took a very long time (~ 12 days) and it's expected, but even next backups are taking so long: at the...
I have this cron script setup and working "ok" on three of four servers of ours : goal is to backup PVE directories and key directories in case of "server crash" for a fast restore.
I am using client version: 1.1.5 and latest proxmox server 6.4.5
SHELL=/bin/sh...
I just started testing the pbs backup client for some advanced backup scenarios. One question of course is how to get the maximum performance out of the server that creates backups.
In multiple larger infrastructures there are so called 'backupworkers' (VMs) who have plenty of CPU and RAM as...
