snapshot

Hello, what is the best way to replicate to a separate ZFS volume ( on the same server ) a VM disk + Snapshot? Thanks!

I have a situation where a snapshot reversion for a container (rbd backed) is failing with the error "unable to read tail (got 0 byte)" in the tasklog. doing a manual reversion using rbd snap works fine. proxmox-ve: 5.1-42 (running kernel: 4.15.3-1-pve) pve-manager: 5.1-46 (running version...

Ich habe am 29.3. gegen 9:12 Uhr einen Snapshot gelöscht um Platz zu schaffen, dabei gab es einen Fehler, diesen habe ich nicht weiter beachtet, nur gesehen dass in der WebGUI wo ich diesen Löschen wollte, dieser noch vorhanden war. Daraufhin beschloss ich einen Tag später den Host neuzustarten...

When backing to external usb drive and cancel backup before completion all space occupied during backup process is reset like it was cache. However once backup successful all occupied space remaining on local zfs and there is no way to remove it. Any idea?

Hi there, after running for about two years, one of my VMs came up with a strange behaviour, which led to a total desaster: Preamble: one VM noticed me about an issue with its filesystem and suggested that i should run 'fsck' to repair it. After rebooting the VM, the filesytem only started in...

Hi! I have a server with proxmox installed. I set up the dayli auto snapshot. Today I try to rollback to a snapshot but it failed, because of my disk full. I remove a few snapshot, but my CT doesn't start. I try to rollback, but failed also: lvremove 'pve/vm-100-disk-1' error: Failed to find...

Hi, I can not create snapshot for some LXC. The button is disabled. What could be the reason for this?

Good day, I have a use case (SKS database "offline" dump), where I'd need to snapshot, clone and mount one of the mount points for an LXC container. The newly mounted snapshot/clone, will then be used to generate data dump/export. Before hacking config files, any advice to do it with in the...

Hi all Happy New Year to everyone. When we do a Snapshot it is held on the same drive as the VM is located. Is there a way to View a previous rollback date without actually rolling back. IE. we just want to recover a couple of files from a previous day?? And What happens with Snapshots in our...

I have a weird problem with specific containers failing to snapshot; the end result is that scheduled vzdump tasks effectively fail and disallow any further vzdump jobs until manually killed. The thing is, if I MANUALLY take a snapshot using rbd snap create it works fine- its only via api that...

Hello, I'm creating VM's from backups off a Proxmox node that is not part of my cluster but I noticed when restoring these backups that snapshots are not included. Is there a way to create VM backups that include the snapshot as well?

I have a Proxmox server version 5.1-35 (kernel: 4.13.4-1-pve) and can't create a container snapshot, the button shows greyed out. I do can create VMs snapshots. This problem also happens on another Proxmox server version 4.4-13/7ea56165. Maybe this is a new change or simple you cannot create...

Hello everybody, i have a Proxmox 5.1 server running and i want to remove snapshots of a VM that makes a lot of trouble. I tried to do it with the eve4pve-autosnap clean function but my server crashed and now i have a lot of snapshots in proxmox without existing ZFS snapshots. How can i get...

Guten Tag, ich betreibe bisher einen 3 Node proxmox 3.4 Cluster mit zentralem SAN Storage über iscsi/multipathing und lvm. funktioniert seit Jahren super stabil, aber leider ohne snapshots. Da bei uns nun die Aktualisierung auf Version 5 ansteht, versuche ich eine Lösung zu finden wie ich die...

Hallo, unser Proxmox läuft mit Linux auf einem ZFS. Ich habe ein Skript geschrieben, dass eine VM, über ssh auf dem Proxmox Terminal, mit dem quemu guest Agent erst einfriert, dann ein ZFS Snapshot macht und danach wieder auftaut. Mir ist dabei nur aufgefallen, dass der Exchange Writer nach...

Hi guys! I got into troubles now: I have my Proxmox Installation on two ssd's (raidz mirror) and one hdd that was in separate zpool, and used for backups. I got one VM on that server, with two disks inside it: system disk which was located on raidz ssd's and one volume that was used for backups...

Hi. After upgrading to Proxmox VE 4 snapshots are not longer possible for LXC containers and they need to be suspended during the dump even if I am using a LVM storage with free space for snapshots in the volume group. I know that the snapshot works with a ZFS storage, but I wish to understand...
