snapshot

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...

WE have been using proxmox since day 1 and zfs since version pve version 5. I happen to notice qcow2 snapshot and zfs vm disk are too slow very relatively slow it took a lot of time a very very slow perform on zfs proxmox version 6 and up. is there an issue with zfs? Current setup System: zfs...

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...

Two questions: 1. Is it possible to set up automatic replication of a VM between two nodes without replicating all snapshots? I. e. replicating only the current machine state, but not the snapshots taken of it before? I take daily and weekly snapshots (retain six weekly and seven daily) locally...

Hello, in my cluster i have finded a vm with replication faild with this log: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2020-11-02 12:54:01 105-0: start replication job 2020-11-02 12:54:01 105-0: guest => VM 105, running => 15447 2020-11-02 12:54:01 105-0...

Hello. pve-manager/6.2-4/9824574a (running kernel: 5.4.34-1-pve) I have VM with 2 disks: mega/vm-101-disk-0 mega/vm-101-disk-1 ZFS docs says: "Recursive snapshots are created quickly as one atomic operation. The snapshots are created together (all at once) or not created at all. The benefit of...

I'm seeking suggestions for debugging the following. After running a "clone from snapshot" in the web gui rev 6.2-11, I receiving the following output: TASK ERROR: clone failed: activate_volume 'pve/snap_vm-199-cloudinit_baseline_1' error: Failed to find logical volume...

PVE newbie here. 1. How does the following wiki page apply to LXC Containers? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VM_Templates_and_Clones 2. There's no mention of "snapshots" in the above wiki page, even though PVE 6.2-11 seems to feature snapshot feature prominently over "template." Is this above...

Hi, I am encountering some problems making backups on many servers running ZFS. The PVE cluster is made of 4 nodes, every node have a ZFS mirror pool on 2 NVMe SSD drives and a full backup is made once per week at 00:30 on different days per each node: Every time a backup is started I see...
