snapshot

Hello. The following question arose. For example, I have a snapshot of the system every day at 21.00 from Monday to Friday. On Saturday at 00.30, backup starts by creating a snapshot. What exactly will be included in the backup file? The state of the VM before the last snapshot was taken, namely...

1. took a snapshot 2. upgraded bios 3. bios changed network interface id and pci id assigned 4. restore of snapshot fails because the old pci id cannot be found how to fix ?

If I have only one LVM (not LVM-Thin) volume to use on Proxmox host, is there any rules to follow when create it? From the old days I recall that one should leave some % of VG space free so snapshot can be made if I do snapshot-type backup of running VM - is it true? So to say, in my old days...

How can I configure the LXC Container guest so it will be able to take snapshots?

Hi. I have created a VM which uses thin LVM. Now I want to start a fresh VM with the same id and back up old data. For that, I have renamed my disk (i.e vm-101-disk-0) to vm-101-disk-0-old and. Now I want to create a new volume. The thing is I have a template which I create my Vms from, and I...

Guten Morgen, ich habe auf meinem PM 6.1-8 ein paar LXC Container am laufen. Bei den meisten kann ich Snapshots erstellen. Jetzt habe ich einen neuen LXC Container erstellt. Dort sind die Schaltflächen alle ausgegraut und dahinter steht "The current guest configuration does not support taking...

Hi All, When I click on a VM and then go to "Snapshots", I can click on the "Take Snapshot" button and a prompt appears asking if I want to include RAM, add a title and give it a description. After click "Take Snapshot" [Blue within prompt] it shows a progress bar that fills multiple times and...

Hello Proxmox community. It has been a while, and I have been rethinking my backup strategy. What would be the recommended backup procedure? Or a recommended backup procedure? I am running Windows Server 2019 with a SQL Express Database on a separate vmdisk within the VM. So far I have been...

Hi, I have noticed this issue where all of my LXC fail to backup while all of the the VMs do backup successfully. This is similar to This Thread which has been marked "Solved", though that sounds like a workaround. This is the error I am seeing: INFO: Starting Backup of VM 110 (lxc) INFO...

Hi, in the process of automating LXC Docker container installation I came across a problem that makes the container fail to start Docker after restoring a snapshot of the container. Basically I want to setup Docker inside a LXC container and deploy several images using Ansible. I tried to break...

Just wondering: If we run (as root) shutdown -h in the Proxmox shell and we have a couple of backups/snapshots which need another couple of hours until finished, will they be interrupted/fail by shutdown?

I'm running proxmox-ve: 6.0-2 (running kernel: 5.0.21-5-pve) and as far as I understand "man vzdump" should run /etc/qemu/fsfreeze-hook if the qemu-guest-agent is installed and the kvm config contains "agent: 1". A "qm agent 6207 ping" from the proxmox host results in an entry in...

Hello, We backup some folders on our hypervisor by doing a snapshot of the root dataset zfs snapshot rpool/ROOT/pve-1@borgWe could then backup the folder /.zfs/snapshot/borg/ which contained all of our files. The issue is that since version 6.0 this snapshot folder is now empty so I was...

Hi There, I'm trying to figure out if there is an easy way to use the ZFS filesystem of the Physical PVE Node to make local/remote snapshots of the host filesystem? I know there is away to replicate local VM disks from local-zfs (Physical PVE Node 1) to local-zfs (Physical PVE Node 2) but...

Hello, i've just spin up a Proxmox host to test it's potential, i've now installed several W10 and Linux VM, using the Stable virtio-win ISO, but using the latest qemu-ga ( to have the ip info on the dashboard) for the windows VM, while using the standard apt install qemu-guest-agent for the...

Good Morning, We would like to create following setup: - HA Cluster with 2 or 3 proxmox nodes. Later there should be around 50 LXC Containers running on top of it - This Cluster will only be used for LXC Container. So there are no requirements for VM usage - Required are all Features...

Hi there, I currently have some VMs which are hosted on and run from a shared NFS share by the Proxmox hosts. I currently use Proxmox to backup (snapshot) these VMs back to the NFS share but this seems inefficient with the reads from NFS -> PVE host and writes back from PVE -> NFS host...
