snapshot

Just a quick question to be sure my understanding of https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage#_storage_types is right I am looking to set up a shared storage that supports snapshots for both VMs and LXC containers. As I understand, the only options are : CephFS Ceph/RBD ZFS over iSCSI LVM over...

Hi, lads and ladies. I stuck with one little trouble about topic. I have a lot of VMs and CTs in a Proxmox environment, zfs-based. Some of them contains db or other services, that *CAN* restore after unclean shutdown, but it would be better to have them *CLEAN* at snapshot taken. I'm using...

Hi. We plan to buy 2 unit storage for datastore and backup storage. Currently our setup 6 node compute with proxmox-v5.2 hypervisor. Since our currently CEPH storage almost 6 years, so we plan to buy to replace with the new storage and approach not using hyperconverged CEPH storage anymore and...

Hello, I am looking for a way to automate the restoration of a snapshoted VM to it's snapshoted initial state. This is a testing environment that we provide to our prospect and I would like to kick back every night at a giveng time to the snapshotted version. Do you know how I can : list...

Hello, I'm trying to setup Ceph rbd mirroring Snapshot-based between 2 Ceph clusters each installed from a different PVE cluster. I call them pve-c1 and pve-c2. Anyone here already setup it successfully ? A this moment i only try a one-way replication from pve-c1 to pve-c2. Proxmox VE 6.3-2...

Hi I got the following error messages while doing snapshots on my Debian 10 running container failed to open /snap/core/11187: Permission denied failed to open /snap/core/11167: Permission denied failed to open /snap/certbot/1201: Permission denied failed to open /snap/certbot/1150: Permission...

Hi! Please tell me how works VM snapshots in PVE? 1. I create snapshot (disk type qcow2), do some changes on disk, and snapshot size - 0 (screenshot). 2. How creates RAW-image snapshot (backend ext4) during backup VM with type "snapshot"?

Hi I am on the lookout for an easy and not too space consuming way to backup of my Proxmox host. I have been looking at Clonezilla but this method isn't ideal for me as my Proxmox is installed on a mirrored zfs pool and thus Clonezilla only supports full-disk (200GB in my case) backups...

We have an issue in our Proxmox cluster. It seems not possible to clone a VM or move the disk to another storage, if the VM has more than 13 snapshots + current. Till 13 snapshots + current works fine. The error message I get is: moving disk with snapshots, snapshots will not be moved! create...

Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to mount a backup snapshot of a server with multiple LVM drives. A snapshot currently looks like this: │ vm/119/2021-05-20T12:41:21Z │ 8.03 TiB │ client.log drive-virtio0.img drive-virtio1.img drive-virtio2.img index.json qemu-server.conf...

Hi, How to get all snapshots from a VM ? When a take a snapshot with the UI, a new disk is created but there is not no new disk with the command qm snapshot <vmID> I don't see any new disk. Could somebody help me ? Thanks

I understand ZFS (zvol?) only allows linear snapshots. Using the WebUI, I can 'convert to template' at a point at which I'd like to branch. Then, I can create linked clones for each branch. Then, it's possible to convert those linked clones to templates, and so on... Like with snapshots, this...

I'm running PVE 6.3-3 and am trying to get snapshots as branches are per the documention: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/File:Screen-vm-snapshots.png I can't seem to get anything besides sequential snapshots, what am I doing wrong here? This disk and the snapshots are saved to a zfspool managed...

i am using pve-manager 6.1-8, proxmox-ve 6.1-2, qemu-server 6.1-7, pve-qemu-kvm 4.1.1-4 whenever i try and take a back up when the machine is running i get the following: task error: vm * qmp command 'savevm-start' failed - the command savevm-start has not been found and indeed when checking out...

My current installation of Proxmox 6.3-2 is configured for my vms to run on a local SSD. I have the SSD setup as an LVM. I wanted to test the snapshot feature, but I receive an error, "The current guest configuration does not support taking new snapshots" I found I can use the "Move Disk"...

Hallo in die Runde, wir haben hier einen ZFS-Server (48 Kerne, 386GB RAM, 2,8TB Disk) der unglaublich langsam die 50GB-VMs auf Basis von ZFS 0.8.3 und Proxmox 6.2 als Schnappschuss über die WebGUI sichert. Dieser Vorgang dauert länger als ein Backup und hängt die VMs auf! Auch kann man einen...

Hi. Recently new to Proxmox and I have a question about snapshots, of a VM. My VM/CT storage is ZFS. Been working with snapshots and initially stumbled upon this link, the screen capture is old as it reflects v2.3-1 and I'm running 6.3-2...

Hi there, I have an old snapshot on my system, which won't delete. It's not being used and he status says 'delete' but is appears stuck. If I try and delete it again in the GUI the delete fails, and the VM is locked. I have to unlock the vm manually on the command line. Could someone tell me...

PVE 6.2-15 I've been scheduling backups through the GUI in "Snapshot" mode but have noticed that the file sizes are appreciably larger than "Snapshots" through the individual VM's options. I realized that backups are formatted as VZDump files whereas the snapshots are raw disk images. For...
