    Replikation ohne Snapshots

    Hallo, ist es möglich, einen Replikations-Job so einzustellen, dass z.B. die hourly-Snapshots nicht mit gesendet werden? Hintergrund ist, dass die Replikation zukünftig über Internet/VPN zwischen 2 Standorten erfolgen soll und die hourly-Snaps doch recht viel Platz belegen. Es handelt sich um...

    zfs snapshot of / excluding /rpool

    running a very simple set-up with Proxmox on ZFS I'm looking to have snapshot of everything in /etc and other select directories. Essentially / without rpool and subsequent volumes. Since df -h shows mountpoint to be /root/RPOOL/pve-1 / i tried: zfs snapshot -r rpool/ROOT/pve-1@may2024...

    Snapshots: how to exclude external mounts?

    I have a VM with a NFS share mounted that will be about a couple of TB, how can I exclude it from snapshots? If I will create a Proxmox HA (I still haven't had a look at it, so I don't know how it works), will it transfer the NFS share mounted with all the data? Thanks!

    proxmox snapshot not showing in dmsetup

    Hi I am wondering about the mechanism of snap-shots in proxmox. At the moment, the resulting snap is of type "V" (virtual device as shown in the attribute bits of lvs command below) and not the usual "s" (snapshot) also the resulting "snap shot device" only shows in the "lvs" command but doesn't...

    Best way to have hot spare + backup at the same time with PVE on ZFS (with pvesr & sanoid)

    Syncoid (dataset synchronization between two different machines) and Sanoid (creation and prune of snapshots) are two ZFS (high-level) tools that combined give you hot spares (syncoid) and backups (sanoid) to roll back to them if necessary. Proxmox has the storage replication feature (pvesr)...

    What are the best practices for snapshotting zvol based VMs

    I might not be searching the correct terms, but I haven't really found any information on ways to manage snapshots for VMs running in zvols on ZFS. - Our system runs VMs on a zpool, and I let PVE automatically create a new zvol for each VM. - I have setup zfs-auto-snapshot to take incremental...
