    Limit number of backups sent to remote (off-site) backup server

    Hi Everyone, Perhaps I've missed something in the forum or in the manual, but is there a way to reduce or limit the number of backups sent to a remote PBS?

    PBR Remote Sync - Limiting the sync

    Our main backup server has 20+TBs of available storage (our colo server), while our offsite only has 12TB (public bare metal cloud). Since I can't easily get additional storage at my offsite location and I only need to offsite store a smaller set of last-resort backups (say, the 5 most recent...

    Sync not copying all snapshots

    Hello, I had a VM with the ID 135 that was re-deployed under the ID 105. To keep the backups from the old machine, I did the following on my datastore: mv vm/135 vm/105 I then switched the backup job in Proxmox VE to backup the new VM 105. This seems to work as all my previous backup from my...

    How to back up a folder only

    Hello there! I'm currently in the process of planning out a system for a new setup I'm working on. This will, of course, include PVE to be the host of some Windows VMs and other smaller stuff. Also, I want to host some sort of NAS (samba-only is enough) from that same host/server machine. So...

    Strange disk caching mode results and questions

    I have been testing my VM disk performance on an NFS synchronous shared storage. The results have left me scratching my head trying to figure out whats going on. The results may be the expected behavior, but even so I am lost how that may be. On my NFS synchronous share I created a VM (Linux...

    LXC on NFS (sync) does not work

    I am mounting several NFS shares. For my LXC and QEMU images I wish to mount the NFS share as synchronous. QEMU guests are working well on the NFS sync share.

    Swap sync set to always by default?

    Ever trying to gain just another percent of performance out of an admittedly sub-par setup, I have arrived at the sync parameter of zfs. Digging through some boards told me that disabling sync should be kinda-sorta ok if I trust my power supply, the data on the servers is well backed up and a...

    LDAP user sync

    Hi forum, AFAIK I need to create all LDAP users manually in Proxmox as well. That is - in my eyes - a bit weird, cause LDAP should be the central point of user management. If I have to manually mirror the users I really don't get the point of the whole thing (actually, I find it kind of...
