    Restoring backup from off-site PBS server.

    I'm planning to test restoring backup from off-site PBS server. I realised that I don't have a clue how to do this. We have a remote backup server but no obvious way to sync back an old backup. (One VM only.) Restoration from local PBS is simple but how does one do it if the host does not have...

    Sync to two external USB HDDs with weekly rotation

    I'm considering to sync backups to a set of two external USB HDDs, where one HDDs is connected and the other one is stored off-site. Several forum threads suggest that syncing to an external HDD should be possible. One question remains: Do I need to create two different mount points/datastores...

    [SOLVED] VM continuous mirroring and network switching

    Hi Proxmox Community, I was able to discover replication and the HA manager for quick transitions of VMs and I am happy with that for most things. I just have a couple critical services that require attention. I'm wondering if it's possible to have two VMs on different servers have a continuous...

    [SOLVED] Sync performance when using IP server instead of FQDN?

    According the PBS manual, HTTP/2 is used for transfer data. Does this work when using IP server for remote sync or for FDQN? Or is a FQDN a requirement for HTTP/2?

    Support for sync to "removable" backup disks

    Hi there. I'm experimenting a bit with setting up a 3-2-1 strategy for my home lab. The setup is pretty much the following: a tiny PVE cluster with some nodes and one shared bigger (>20TB) storage node a tiny PBS node with large primary backup storage (zfs, >20TB) and a hotswap HDD used for...

    Time synchronisation between PVE node/host and VM/guest without access to the Internet

    Hey everyone! As far as I understand, my Proxmox 7 cluster, installed on top of a Debian 11 Bullseye, uses systemd-timesyncd to keep the clock in sync via external NTP servers, configured either in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf or in a separate file inside /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/. All of...

    How can I setup a PVE sync job to PBS?

    I currently backup my VMs to the local data-store on PVE, works great. Recently, I have added PBS into the mix, but am struggling to figure out how to integrate it into my infrastructure in a meaningful way. There are two options I see, but am unable to figure out how to implement either...

    tl;dr: in title I have a three node proxmox cluster in physically separate locations within the company. They are on internal redundant networks 1G branches, 10G and 100G backbones. Unfortunately, I did not completely do all of my homework before migrating physboxes to proxmox VMs (and LXCs...

    Proxmox Partial HA Setup Query

    Hey how’s it going all, I’m doing a bit of experimenting and wondering if it’s possible to have several Proxmox nodes each with their own local storage, and the VMs on that storage mirrored/synced onto a shared store; then HA setup so if any Proxmox node goes down, the VM is read/run/hosted...

    Sync Job http request timed out

    Retention & sync jobs

    Hello all, I'm thinking about migrating to PBS for on-site & off-site backup. While the connection between headquarters and branch office is relatively (very) slow, the backups have always lagged behind for some days (using copy job in Veeam). The lagging is not a problem while is ok that i...

    Optimization possible?

    Hello! I've been using PBS since about a year now, love it! I know it is recommended to run the server with SSD data disks. Unfortunately I cannot afford it and have to use spinning disks. Backup and restore works masterfully and perform well, but verification and sync seems to be too slow. At...

    How to handle datastore on NFS share that is offline most of the time?

    Hi, Right now I got a single PBS-VM1 on Host2 that got its datastore from Host2 via NFS. And this PBS-VM1 and NFS share is available all the time. Problem is that I can't backup Host2 or guests on it, because if Host2 fails there would be no running PBS to restore them from. I also got Host1...

    [INVALID] Garbage Collection fails for non-existent VM

    EDIT June 15, 2022 - I was looking at old logs. This is NOT an issue. Board admins, please delete this entire thread as it is completely invalid. I manually deleted chunks. Because I did that, I was unable to perform syncs. To fix that, I deleted my Datastore and recreated it. (See...

    Exclude groups in sync

    Hello everyone. Is there a way to exclude certain groups (VMs/CTs) from a sync job? I'm syncing to an usb HD. And while my PBS instance keeps a lot of backups I only want some of them in the usb storage. Can this be expressed using Group Filter? Best Regards/Viele Grüße ....Volker
