snapshot

Hi! Searching the forum, I found a few similar threads, and the statement that backups do not support snapshots. And this is OK. However, when I recently tried to make a backup of a VM with snapshots, and then tried to restore it from this backup - it removed the already existing VM snapshots...

Occasion: Like my one mentioned in the zfs boot thread my intention was to use BTRFS as root filesystem because the resource finger print is smaller and BTRFS is mostly faster than ZFS (Source: actual phronix performance test). While my testing time for this thread some negative experiences with...

Good afternoon, everyone! I’m facing an issue with Proxmox. I have an HPE MSA 1050 SAN configured for HA, and I’m not able to create snapshots of the VMs stored on this disk. OBS*: From what I’ve read in some documents and forum threads, it seems that LVM does not support snapshots. Is there...

Hi. I've updated some of PVEs to version 9 to test the new snapshot support for LVM thick storage. I've created the LVM storage which is shared among nodes in cluster, checked "Allow Snapshots as Volume-Chain" during storage creation, moved some VMs there and when I go to VM -> Snaphosts it...

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to share a deep dive into one of the notable new feature in PVE9: the enhanced snapshot functionality designed for legacy SANs. This feature represents a meaningful step forward in expanding PVE's compatibility with traditional enterprise storage setups, something many...

Hi, We thought about something that could be usefull for anybody : snapshot expiration date. When you take a snapshot, we could have an option with a tick box, then you set a date or a duration after which the snapshot is deleted automatically by the hypervisor. If I talk about our case : when...

Hi I am conducting some testing of storage-based snapshots using Proxmox with NFS. Proxmox version: 8.4.1. While copying back a storage snapshot of a qcow2 image file to an existing VM (while in shutdown state) I can see different VM snapshot inventories depending on tools being used. The...

In Proxmox 8.4, the Esxi storage type appeared. But this type is not mentioned in the documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html Could you please tell me which values have Esxi for `Level`, `Shared`, and `Snapshots`?

Hello, We have set up a SAS storage array with two Dell nodes and configured multipath, but I can only mount the volume using LVM in a shared mode within the cluster. The issue I’m facing is that I’m unable to create snapshots on this shared volume, and backups have to be performed in a...

Hello, I have a backup job running every day backing up my VMs using snapshot mode. Everything is running ok but sometimes one specific VM freezes (I have 4 VMs running but it happens only with one of them). At the exact time of the backup the VM stop responding (even from the console) and I can...

Ich entschuldige mich schon Mal im Voraus: ich bin nicht Forumserfahren, habe mir meine Linux (Univention, Debian, Ubuntu) Erfahrung selber angeeignet, und bin gerade auf dem Weg selbiges mit Proxmox zu tun. Ich möchte in meinem kleinen Betrieb (ca. 10 Mitarbeiter) gerne folgendes Szenario...

Hi everyone, I’m running a Proxmox VE cluster (PVE 8.x) with three nodes and have a daily ZFS replication job configured. One of our VMs has a snapshot named Test (created on 2024-11-18) that I would like to delete, but I’m receiving the following error when trying to remove it: TASK ERROR...

Hi all, We're running into a limitation in the GUI when trying to clone a vm from a snapshot on ZFS storage. On LVM this works fine, I know this works a bit different and also allows for non-linear snapshots which ZFS doesn't. A full clone however should be possible in my AFAIK. I'm able to...

Hello, We are currently developing a script to get the creation date of a snapshot from a VM using this command : pvesh get "/nodes/$NODE/qemu/$VMID/snapshot" --output-format=json |jq .[].snaptime But we cannot understand the syntax/format of the output : 1734579627 1734423758 1734423290...

Hello! can i delete a snap like: STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-disk-0 STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge simply: zfs destroy STORAGE/VM/KVM/vm-122-state-prenelarge ? Thanks

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...
