snapshot

Hi, I have 2 servers Proxmox with ZFS as storage. I create 1 CT with 1 root disk on SSD ZFS and 1 mount point on the HDD ZFS I create a replication rule on the 2nd serveur : all is OK ! I do the "same thing" with another CT, but I have always the following error : 2024-11-09 13:55:11...

Dear Proxmox community, I run PVE 8.2.7 installed on Debian 12 (as I wanted to have a full disk encryption via Secure Boot) with encrypted ZFS pool. Then I created a dataset with some custom attributes (compression, quotas, refQuotas) and added it via GUI - Datacenter -> Storage -> Add ->...

Learning ZFS replication / live migration. ZFS replication + live migration for 2 node small biz environments a pretty neat feature - one up on ESXi local VMFS6 datastores. I've been reading through some of the documentation regarding ZFS replication / snapshots + qemu guest agent in regards to...

Hello! I'm a total and complete newb on Proxmox, heck, using this has made me realized even the things I thought I knew, well, I don't. At all. I've created a Proxmox VE that lives atop Debian 12 on an Intel NUC for hosting a few LXCs for a Home Server using mostly ttecks's scripts, (for now...

Are there plans for native FibreChannel support and an alternative to vmfs? I think this is a crucial factor for many enterprise customers. In my opinion, Proxmox needs to completely reorient itself in the storage area in order to take off in the enterprise environment. Many customers are...

I've been using snapshots for quite a long time (usually before doing any upgrades in VM) and all worked flawlessly. Until yesterday. I use PVE 8.2.4 and this might be the first snapshot done after recent PVE updates. While doing snapshot (with RAM) I noticed that its size keeps growing well...

I was wondering if anyone has been able to snapshot/rollback VMs with terraform (specifically with the bpg provider). And if not, how else have you done it? I was thinking either through the CLI or Proxmox API, you could automate the process but I wasn't sure which would be easier/less error prone

My proxmox server has been backing up numerous virtual machines for a substantial amount of time without issue. About a month ago one of my VMs started to fail backing up. As of right now I don't have much to go on. I have run fsck on the disks partitions that it would work on and nothing came...

ha alguma forma de atraves do qm snapshot definir em qual unidade de disco sera feita a image? Is there any way to use QM Snapshot to define which disk unit the image will be made on?

Hello! I have a very strange problem and don't know what I have to do now. Today i deleted snapshot with --force option from one of my VM that has attached 4TB .qcow2 disk. This snapshot is probably very old cause i totally forgot about this. After the snapshot is deleted my VM shows around 100%...

Hi, I know that there is already "LVM over iSCSI/FC" for shared block storage (SAN) which carves out LV from a shared VG/LUN for individual VM disks - but with no snapshot and thin provisioning support my question is why is there no (extended) storage plugin which provides 1.) "QCOW2 over/on...

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!

I am decently new with Proxmox so forgive a potentially obvious question. I am looking to ensure my VMs are able to take advantage of snapshots. I understand that this is only possible on 'directory' storage. I have a 1TB SSD I am looking to use as both the boot volume for Proxmox and storage...

I have set up my volume to be thin-provisioned. I am trying to snapshot a VM to run updates but when I do, proxmox says I am out of space. TASK ERROR: zfs error: cannot create snapshot 'VMStorage/vm-101-disk-2@Test': out of space Here is the output of zfs list: NAME...

Hey ich bin ein riesen Proxmox fan geworden und habe aktuell 2 Server bei denen einer Master und einer slave ist, diese sind nicht als HA Verbund konfiguriert. Sie laufen beide unabhängig voneinande, jedoch sichert der Haupserver einmal in der Nacht die VMs und LXCs via ZFS Sync auf den slave...

I would like to keep ZFS-based backups / snapshots in daily (1 month weekly), weekly (5 weeks), and monthly (6 months) intervals on servers so as to be able to readily rollback if need arises. How is this accomplished in an automated fashion so as to both accomplish this and purge older...

Hey Everyone. First I hope whoever sees this has a good day :) We're having an issue with our PVE cluster (v8.1.2) and backing up LXC containers that are run on a ceph pool It seems that sporadically and without cause, the snapshot stage of our backup job just fails, leaving the container...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a method to put a virtual machine into a backup state on Proxmox, allowing me to safely copy its files without interrupting its operation. I prefer to avoid using the default dump tool or backup utility, as I intend to create my own backup solution. If anyone has...

Hi there snapshots stucked like this on 1 VM, never ends

When I create a snapshot of a VM: a) is that a backup? b) will it back up all my virtual disks? E.g., If I have a virtualized storage server will it back up the vdi that I set up for bulk storage along with the boot vdi? Thanks.
