restore backup

So I was too quick celebrating a move from one VM to another... I forgot ONE file. Lucky for I have backups! But every VM like this vzdump-qemu-110-2021_08_01-02_00_02.vma.zst. I read about the VMA tool but how do I unpack a .zst? Or how do I get that darn hidden file that I missed?

Hi all, I've gone through the forum here and have not quite seen the help I am requiring. I have a cluster with 4 pve nodes and 2 pbs nodes. 1 PBS node is onsite and 1 if offsite. I've setup another test pve node with PVE7 and have added the offsite PBS node to it. That works perfectly fine...

Thanks for the PVE 6.4 release! The Live-Restore feature is especially interesting to me, because I've always looked for ways to make the restore faster in order to keep disaster recovery times a minimum. Situation: Main Node has 16 cores / 32 threads VM 101 has 32 vCPUs, because the database...

Hi, I am very very worried because I cannot restore several LXCs from a backup done on PBS. Here is the error I get: recovering backed-up configuration from 'pbs:backup/ct/109/2021-04-18T05:00:02Z' Formatting '/mnt/p03ssd/images/109/vm-109-disk-0.raw', fmt=raw size=26843545600 Creating...

Hi. I've been using PBS as a backup service of my PVE servers and it's really great. After the OVH disaster I decided to set up another server for syncing my main PBS backups. That's my current stack: PVE1 -> PVE Server (Cluster mode) PVE2 -> PVE Server (Cluster mode) PBS1-> PBS Main Server...

Hi. First of all thank you for this nice project but ich have some questions. * There is a backup client for debian. Is there also one for Ubuntu or RPM based distros like RedHat and Windows? * How can i see how much space a backup need? I see for a 20Gb VM in the PBS GUI that this VM needs...

Friends good night! I am testing PBS in parallel with the full backup of some VMs and now with the option of incremental backup I can deploy something that I would like to do for a long time. My client has some local Proxmox and 2 PVEs in the OVH cloud, my goal is to use PBS to, in case of a...

Took a backup of a container in PVE, changed a few configs on the original but they didn't work out. Did a restore from the backup which only restored the system vdisk, but erased the mounted data vdisk. Apparently the backup process didn't backup the /data mount. The system vdisk was mounted /...

I have a problem right now where I tried to restore a VM to a backup that has been completing successfully, but upon restore shows as corrupted. The backup is via gzip to a NFS-mounted directory within a Proxmox node running the latest updates (Virtual Environment 6.2-11, kernel 6.2-5). The VM...

Hi, recently i've added overlay2 module to proxmox-host, so i can easily use basic docker-cli functionality inside an lxc containers (pull/tag/push), without using runtime. But attempt to restore a container with overlay2 layers (docker images) inside fails: extracting archive...

Hello there, I restored a previously preconfigured pfsense VM on Proxmox hoping to change in the future the existing rules contained on it, but now I’m not able to connect through the web interface to the pfsense, although I’m able to open the console of the pfsense on Proxmox and interact with...

Hi! I also read this before I post. I still new with Proxmox but I like it! :) I have a latest Proxmox server using only 1 physical (home) server with Linux software raid, mostly for: samba: file sharing: movies, music (for raspberry pi music players) and for windows notebooks for movies...
