snapshot

I'm running proxmox-ve: 6.0-2 (running kernel: 5.0.21-5-pve) and as far as I understand "man vzdump" should run /etc/qemu/fsfreeze-hook if the qemu-guest-agent is installed and the kvm config contains "agent: 1". A "qm agent 6207 ping" from the proxmox host results in an entry in...

Hello, We backup some folders on our hypervisor by doing a snapshot of the root dataset zfs snapshot rpool/ROOT/pve-1@borgWe could then backup the folder /.zfs/snapshot/borg/ which contained all of our files. The issue is that since version 6.0 this snapshot folder is now empty so I was...

Hi There, I'm trying to figure out if there is an easy way to use the ZFS filesystem of the Physical PVE Node to make local/remote snapshots of the host filesystem? I know there is away to replicate local VM disks from local-zfs (Physical PVE Node 1) to local-zfs (Physical PVE Node 2) but...

Hello, i've just spin up a Proxmox host to test it's potential, i've now installed several W10 and Linux VM, using the Stable virtio-win ISO, but using the latest qemu-ga ( to have the ip info on the dashboard) for the windows VM, while using the standard apt install qemu-guest-agent for the...

Good Morning, We would like to create following setup: - HA Cluster with 2 or 3 proxmox nodes. Later there should be around 50 LXC Containers running on top of it - This Cluster will only be used for LXC Container. So there are no requirements for VM usage - Required are all Features...

Hi there, I currently have some VMs which are hosted on and run from a shared NFS share by the Proxmox hosts. I currently use Proxmox to backup (snapshot) these VMs back to the NFS share but this seems inefficient with the reads from NFS -> PVE host and writes back from PVE -> NFS host...

System: $ pveversion --verbose proxmox-ve: 5.4-1 (running kernel: 4.15.18-9-pve) pve-manager: 5.4-5 (running version: 5.4-5/c6fdb264) pve-kernel-4.15: 5.4-2 pve-kernel-4.15.18-14-pve: 4.15.18-39 pve-kernel-4.15.18-13-pve: 4.15.18-37 pve-kernel-4.15.18-12-pve: 4.15.18-36...

I am considering proxmox as a hypervisor for my home PC and I when I was testing, I tried to make a snapshot of a virtual machine with a GPU attached. Peoxmox gave me the following error: VM 100 qmp command 'savevm-start' failed - State blocked by non-migratable device...

I setup a new 5.3 two-node cluster and created some CT on a local LVM volume. When i backup a CT to a NFS storage it starts, says it cannot do snapshot and continues with suspend mode but never finishes. The node or better the PVE gui gets unresponsive, all NFS mounts hang and also a reboot is...

Hello, i have notice this issue: if i try to rollback to a zfs snapshot when proxmox5 replication are active, i can't, it's fail with error: more recent snapshot. So i have to stop and remove replication.. and finally rollback. I'm wrong or is it the only way to rollback ? Thanks!

Hello, what is the differences between doing a command line zfs snapshot and qm snapshot vmid ? Thanks!

Servus, ich plane, für ein Kleinstprojekt bei einem Kunden erstmals Proxmox statt VMware einzusetzen. Allerdings habe ich noch keine Ahnung, wie ich am Besten die Backups der 2-3 virtuellen Maschinen (1x Windows, 1x Ubuntu Server) vornehme? Die Datenmengen sind sehr überschaubar, sodass ich auf...

Hello, is Kvm (qemu) vps ZFS snapshot consistent without qemu agent installed on guest ? There are differences between a snapshot of an LXC vps and a KVM vps using zfs ? Thanks!

Hello to all. I have used Proxmox since 3.4. the advances in the platform are definitely exciting to see! We are using zrep to sync zfs volumes to a non cluster machine at this time. Thanks to Brown @ bolthole for his code. It works well. However I have a hankering to use the cluster features to...

Hi, I have 2 issues with LXC containers backup 1. some times it's show even few days it's processing for some container but not completing the backup and I need to stop the task manually. 2. some containers got this error: command 'mount -o ro,noload /dev/rbd5 /mnt/vzsnap0//' failed: exit code...

So I recently made a cron job that, every 6 hours, would take a snapshot of every VM (just to have faster and up-to-date backups to protect against user error). Everything is flawless and I have yet to encounter any issues. BUT there is one hiccup that is getting rather annoying: the cluster...

I have an LXC container running on a Ceph pool. It's running just fine. It has a nightly backup set up to run. For the last week or so, the backup keeps on failing with: vzdump 60180 --mailnotification always --mode snapshot --mailto someone@example.com --quiet 1 --storage nas01-backup-7x...

Dear Forum, the snapshot 'Secure' shows the state 'delete'. I tried to delete that snapshot, but I get: qemu-img: Could not delete snapshot 'Secure': Can't find the snapshot TASK ERROR: command '/usr/bin/qemu-img snapshot -d Secure /var/lib/vz/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2' failed: exit code 1...

I am currently using ZFS as my default storage solution for a one node PVE cluster. Each VM gets a RootFS- and SWAP-Volume from two different parts of the main pool. If a VM stores data (e.g. personal cloud), it gets an additional ZFS volume by path, so I will pass a block device like...

Hello, what is the best way to replicate to a separate ZFS volume ( on the same server ) a VM disk + Snapshot? Thanks!
