snapshot

I'm about to make some big changes to my Proxmox installation (I'm going to try VGPU Unlock), and I would like to be able to revert back to my present state if something goes wrong. Since I've installed Proxmox in a ZFS file system, is there any way to do what I want?

Dear Community, We are using several Proxmox servers and we have some random issues with Windows VMs (Windows 10 & Windows Srv 2019, 2022) when VMs dies during backup and/or taking snapshots. No issues with any Linux VMs or LXCs. It happens on multiple servers but mostly on Intel Xeon E5-26*...

Hello everybody! I have a problem with my second hard drive in Proxmox. This is not displayed correctly in my opinion. As you can see in the pictures, the free space varies between 300GB and 600GB. On the hard disk there are two VMs which have 1x500GB and 1x64GB + 1x snapshot. Due to my storage...

Hallo Leute, das es immer wieder mal vorkommt das man Daten von ner halben Stunde oder 10 Minuten benötigt, hab ich mich mal über ZFS-Autosnapshot hergemacht um genau diesen Bereich und das Theme Verschlüsselungstrojanern abzudecken. Ich hab für mich einen Mittelweg gefunden um dies auf...

Yes, I know snapshots are not backups...:) In VSphere/ESXi, snapshots continue to grow as more and most data is changes since the last snapshot. VMware documentations says to not keep snapshots around for more than 3-5 days. If you go too long, coalescing (merging) the snapshot into the...

Sometime last year I found that when snapshotting a running container with mariadb would cause the database to be unable to complete any queries - the process was running but queries just stacked up. It was as if the fs was missing briefly but could not recover. It was assumed it was a mariadb...

I have a NFS mount (10.50.1.220:/volume2/Netbackup1/Cluster_1_Backup/proxmox-24) pointed at /mnt/pve/volume2Snapshots which I would like to save VM snapshots to. I noticed in the WebGUI, when taking snapshots there is no option to select the storage device and the snapshots are saved to whatever...

There is a way to continue PVE-ZFS storage replication as usually after rolling back a guest without having to do a full/base synchronization? I haven't been able and I haven't find nothing on the internet neither. I have tried: to prune dataset snapshots in the hot spare machine to match the...

Hi out there! I am wondering what I did wrong that I cannot create tree-snapshots / nested snapshots with proxmox? Means something like -+-aSnapshot01 | | | +-aSnapshot01-subSnap01 | | | | | +-aSnapshot01-subSnap01-subSubSnap01 | | | | |...

Hi, I just started using Proxmox a couple of weeks ago. Main goal was to run Home Assitant OS but before that I have tried with different services under Debian LXC (storage ext4). I currently have: 1 - PiHole. 2- Wireguard. 3- Caddy. 4- Media (Radarr, Prowlarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin). Bind mount...

Hi, Currently I'm running a PVE node on a dedicated host at a host provider. On that host I have a firewall VM to handle all traffic (including traffic of PVE itself). Storage is ZFS based for the PVE server (boot and VM pools) When I perform a backup of the firewall to my remote PBS server I...

Hello, I was hoping to get some clarification about zfs and replication. my VM 104 is running on Proxmox2 in my cluster. I set up a replication task to replicate it to proxmox1 in my cluster. Is the VM on proxmox2 using the snapshot or is it safe to delete the snapshots? (this goes for all...

I have experimented with Proxmox and Linux (new for me, though I have a unix-like background experience) and set up the following setup: Hardware: standard x86 Core i5 External 2TB SSD RAID (pvehost:/dev/sda) Internal 1TB SSD (pvehost:/dev/nvme0n1 hardware encrypted, key to be entered at boot)...

I have set up a very standard PVE install on an internal NVMe disk and am running a single 32GB Ubuntu VM in that environment. I understand that I cannot create snapshots for that VM because it has 'raw' format (and resides on storage that cannot snapshot itself). I also understand that if I...

Hi, I’ve just ordered an Intel Nuc 10th Gen i7 (6 cores) with 32GB of RAM and a 2TB NVME disk to build my fist proxmox VE box. I’m going to install as additional package also the backup server since I can’t use a dedicated hardware for it. I‘m thinking about adding in the next weeks an...

I've recently opened a PR which adds the functionality to the ansible.community.proxmox_snap module. The module can now be used with a unbind option, which allows to take snapshots of LXC containers regardless of them having configured mount points. This simple task is achieved by "toggling" the...

Hello, I have a VM with 3 virtual disk stored on the same lvmthin pool. I have a snapshot of the entire VM and i want to rollback to that snap, but only´one disk, not all of them. Is there a way to achieve this? (cloning or backing up the excluded disks is not an option) Thanx in advance!

Hi Community, Recently we have encountered some performance degradation during LXC snaphost. We are trying to understand what is the root of this problem and are there any workarounds. Brief intro. We are running proxmox 7.1-12/b3c09de3 (running kernel: 5.13.19-6-pve) Storage: RAID10 (4x 4TB...

Hello, we started rolling out Ubuntu 22.04 containers using the Proxmox provided ubuntu-22.04-standard_22.04-1_amd64.tar.zst images. When backing up the machines the process gets stuck while creating the storage snapshot 'vzdump'. When the machines are stopped (backup mode "stop", the backup...

I'm trying to create a snapshot of my VM ID=101 and I'm getting a Permission denied message: WARNING: You have not turned on protection against thin pools running out of space. WARNING: Set activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold below 100 to trigger automatic extension of thin pools...
