snapshot

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...

Greetings I've recently moved from proxmox 3 to 5 and I'm trying to use it fully. I'm using zfs and lxc and I'd like to automate the snapshoting: I want to mimic going to the GUI and clicking "Take snapshot". I can go directly, that is, do a zfs snapshot and alter the .conf file, but is there a...

We are trying to make a 2nd Domain Controller on a different server and I was going to try to take a snapshot of our existing Samba Domain Controller and copy that snapshot to new location, change the IP settings, name, etc... and start it up. Has anyone ever tried this before?

My install is only a few weeks old, and I've successfully taken snapshots previously, but for whatever reason I'm no longer able to. I receive this error in the task log: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dm_snapshot': Exec format error /sbin/modprobe failed: 1 snapshot: Required...

Hi It is well known that DBMS require care to do reliable baclups. Let's assume I run a Mysql database in a KVM machine or a LXC container under Proxmox VE. If I use Proxmox VE's features to do snapshots of my guests, I don't find anything to hook the begin of the backup process to...

Currently I have Proxmox 4.4 with 3x 1TB hard drives installed - 1 for proxmox and the other two are used as LVM and each have one ~120GB VM on them. I want to make a scheduled backup of these two VM's which will execute once a week and I'm looking for some information. I've created a Backup...

Hi all, Preamble: Proxmox VE 4.4 Storage type Directory VM disk images type qcow2 imported from KVM+virt-manager Role Administrator + root in the OS To make long story short, my aim is to import/convert qcow2 images with some snapshots embedded into Proxmox VM Snapshots view. I've searched...

I have a host version: Kernel Version Linux 4.4.44-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 4.4.44-84 (Thu, 9 Mar 2017 12:06:34 +0100) Where the snapshot feature is greyed out. The containers are on an LXC thin pool so it should work. The only difference compared to the working hosts is the pve version (4.4.19 VS...

Hi, we were just facing this really odd trouble here, and wondered if anyone was experiencing the same or has any answers: - Virtual Environment 4.4-12/e71b7a74 on supermicro server hardware with LSI RAID Adapter. RAID1 with two 3 TB disks, no errors in Raid, no Errors in (ECC) RAM -...

Does passing through harddisk disable the vm's snapshot functionality? Hi, I have a vm, used to be able to take snapshots fine. But now the snapshot button is greyed out. The only special point I can think of is it has passing through harddisks. So with passing though hd, can I still do...
