snapshot

Hello, I was hoping to find some clarity. I am new to Proxmox and setup a backup of 1 VM to test, I setup the backup using Snapshot mode and every 2 hours, But as soon as I started the backup, the VM shut down and so were all my websites and when the backup was finished the Websites were still...

I am trying to rollback a snapshot on a container and get the error: "lvremove 'xyz-vg/vm-123-disk-0' error: Logical volume xyz-vg/vm-123-disk-0 contains a filesystem in use." After that the Container is locked with snapshot lock. The lock can be removed by pct unlock 123. The lsof command...

I have a VM (id=100) that runs OpenMediaVault - NAS server with CIFS shares. For the past 117 days everything was working properly, the backups were done every night with no errors. I initiated manual backup of this VM - and it failed. Here's the event log: INFO: starting new backup job...

We have a Proxmox 6.1-5 Server running with a VM which has 3 harddisks configured. The virtual disks are all qcow2 files hosted on the local filesystem. The VM performance is ok even under heavy load. My problem is, that it takes ages to create a snapshot of this VM even if theVM is powered...

I've done lots of searching and haven't seen this question answered, but I apologize in advance if I missed something. Does Proxmox Backup Server backup manually created snapshots of a VM? Can the snapshots be restored without restoring the entire VM? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I used fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv as suggested by @Pifouney. Thank you! My server is up and running again. --- Hello everyone, I hope you're doing great. I'm not. First, I have to mention I am pretty new to Proxmox and don't have a ton of knowledge. I encountered following...

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Snapshots of one LXC disappeared, The others are OK, only this one.

I have a ceph replicated storage that I would like to be able to use as a backup target for VM snapshot backups, I understand ceph is RBD so I need to create a file system, should I put NFS on ceph? I've searched and searched but I must be using the wrong terms... Any pointers on how to create a...

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...
