snapshot

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...

Having a weird issue with a new Proxmox Install. I’m using a ZFS pool for my VM’s, and snapshotting without including RAM works just fine, and runs near instantly. But if I check the box for include RAM, it gets hung and does nothing, no output whatsoever. It is actually creating space on the...

Hello. tell me, can I somehow deploy a new virtual machine from the created snapshot? Is there any way to do this? For example, a user deleted a file inside a virtual machine. It is expensive to deploy backup and sometimes it is outdated. But there is a daily snapshot created by cron. In order...

What exactly will be included in the backup file? The state of the VM before the last snapshot was taken, namely...

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...
