    Snapshot / backup encryption

    The documentation talks about enabling encrypted snapshots when using Proxmox Backup Server, but doesn't mention enabling encryption for backup up elsewhere (for example, to a SMB server). Is there any way to enable encryption on all snapshots? I'm hoping to use the web interface to set up...

    Snapshot removal "jams" the VM

    Hello, I'm running Jenkins inside a VM ran on a Proxmox VE 7.1.8. The issue is that when I delete a snapshot, the VM enters a locked state, which in turn stops it from responding to requests. I don't know if this is the normal behavior and, if it is, why is it running this way? In my opinion, a...

    [SOLVED] Snapshot failed with exit code 2: Permission denied

    I've tried searching around for this one, but being new to Proxmox and Linux once again is proving to be a learning curve. Made my first CT (LXC), using debian-11-standard_11.3-1_amd64.tar.zst to run pi-hole. I've attached the full log of just trying to snapshot this machine by itself. For...

    How to Backup a VM and Exclude a Hard Disk

    It's pretty much a simple question, but I doubt the answer will be simple. I hope it will be anyway. So, I have a Windows 10 VM and I have a second hard disk attached for storage for the Windows 10 VM. I'm running Blue Iris on the main (boot) disk of the Windows 10 VM and saving all of the...

    [TUTORIAL] Proxmox Ceph Mirroring - Snapshot Mode

    Like i said in some of my previous posts i have tried ceph mirroring before, and followed the instructions available here. This worked great, but only if you just used virtual machines, and not containers. So this does not work with container disks, because you would need to enable the...

    Will I screw anything up if I create my OWN zfs snapshots of lxc/qm disks which I have on zfs?

    I keep my LXC container and QM VM disks on a ZFS filesystem. I don't know much about how PVE manages the ZFS snapshots associated with a given container/vm, but I do see in my filesystem that it does have various snapshots which it creates for migrations etc: root@node1:~# zfs list -r -t...

    Snapshot Überbleibsel?
