snapshot

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...

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?

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! 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...

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"...
