snapshot

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.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and new to using Proxmox, I have a problem that from time to time automatic backups are made with the "@--head--" mark (what is that? :) ), they take up space and I can only delete them from the terminal, but after some time they appear again. Could someone tell me...

Scenario: 2x Clustered Servers, with StorageZFS replicating between them. Problem: When performing the Snapshot of VM 108, several VMs crashed, and I had to reset to go back. Error log: Jun 19 09:24:25 pve02 kernel: [10160562.899184] debugfs: Directory 'zd112' with parent 'block' already...

Coming from this thread: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/understanding-storage-requirements-for-snapshots.128444/ I'm looking for a way to do backups of running VMs without downtime. The idea is to have a full backup, that can be moved to other parts of a cluster, or different proxmox...

Reading these articles: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Live_Snapshots and https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage Basically tells me "snapshots is something you can do" but nothing more. Recently I tried doing a snapshot and got this as output: If I check with lvs I do see it in the output: On...

Hi all, I've encountered an issue when I try to take a snapshot of a VM or CT where the disk as moved to a shared NFS storage. In the Snapshot section there is a warnings: The current guest configuration does not support taking new snapshots A screenshot below: This is the root disk...

Let's say I have a VM that's a clean version of the OS, snapshot with the name "clean". I then patch it with the latest patches. I now want to "move" the "clean" snapshot to point to the patched state. At the moment the only safe way to do that is to snapshot the patched state with a new name...

Hi since 2 weeks i cant create any snapshots for any VM i created on my proxmox server. I dont know what to do because running the snapshot in GUI or CLI results in zfs error: cannot create snapshot 'SSD_ZFS/vm-<ANY_ID_HERE>-disk-0@<CHOOSE_ANY_SNAPSHOTNAME_HERE>': dataset already exists Even...
