tape backup

Hallo zusammen, ich habe mein Tape Backup nun am laufen und muss sagen, dass das wirklich gut funktioniert. Aktuell habe ich aber "nur" ein einfaches Laufwerk ohne Autoloader. Bisher hatten wir Veeam im Einsatz, welches einmal am Wochenende ein Tape geschrieben hat, nach dem Wochenende wurde...

Hey, Just setting up PBS with a dell tl2000 with 2 sas lto5 drives connected to the server. I have updated the firmware of the TL2000 and rebooted the server in order to troubleshoot. When I try to run proxmox-tape barcode-label --pool I get the error: TASK ERROR: open drive 'mydrive'...

Hello! I'm looking into backup of data in on-prem S3-compatible storage, and also put the data on LTO-tapes. We are already using Veeam as backup software for our virtual environment, but the price for NAS-backup makes me look at alternatives. From the documentation I can see that this is...

Hi all, I have a container backed on a mediaset of five LTO3 tapes (tape0-tape4). The fifth tape now returns an error. I am aware that LTO3 is not officially supported, but in practice things use to turn out quite well. This is the log of the task: 2025-05-31T22:34:14+02:00: update media...

Hallo, die Frage wurde bereits hier schon mal gestellt https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/tape-verification.138552/ und auch im Bugzilla eine entsprechende Anfrage gestellt https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5144 Ich würde gerne wissen, ob es hierzu schon etwas Neues gibt. Oder ist...

I would like to do some more automation with the tape jobs. How can I start a preconfigured tape backup job from cli? The configured backup job is visible in the tape backup "backup jobs" category in the web ui.

Hallo Community, nach dem letzten update vom PBS erhalte ich beim schreiben der Media Daten von LTO Bändern folgende Fehlermeldungen/Warnungen: could not set MAM Attribute 800: Illegal Request, Additional sense: Invalid field in parameter list could not set MAM Attribute 801: Illegal...

After going through all the threads in this forum regarding Tape Backup and opening a ticket at Proxmox without real solution, I would like to ask/propose some Ideas Please correct me, If some of my points are wrong. Comments also welcome. BTW: 3.2 would be my favourite solution. Conclusions...

Is it possible to define more schedules for allocation polices? We may have goofed and went LTO9, when that would take over a month to fill. I am not comfortable going to yearly allocation as well. Is there a way to define a quarterly or bi-monthly schedule?

I just installed this about a month ago, and find it odd that TAPE BACKUP is an option. Well, not too strange; just funny that anyone still uses tape. {Please don't slam me...I know that some people still use it} Is there a way to hide or disable this menu option? I have no intention of ever...

Hi everyone, We are currently using the latest version of Proxmox Backup Server with the tape backup functionality. We would like to restrict the permission for certain users so that they only have audit permissions for the tape backup function. We can solve this by setting the following...

I just tried the tape backup of the Proxmox Backup server, but the transfer speed is very slow. (Max 60 MB/s) I also use the same tape with Bareos and there I found out that setting the tape block size to 1 MB made a sigificant performance improvment. (From under 100 MB/s to over 300 MB/s) Is...

i want to use tape backup without a changer. For a small installation ( complete backup fits on one tape ) i want to create something with minimal user interaction. X tapes are available and in the worst case, the user should be able to insert a random tape and take one offline. The only thing...

hi, I need some Input for troubleshooting a performance Issue I have on a Proxmox Backup Server I run. Basically it's an off-site System that syncs with a production PBS. The Specs as follows: - Supermicro Board + Chasssis - Dual E-2680v4 Xeon (2x 14c) - 128GB RAM - 2x 480gb Seagate Nytro SSD...

I have some files that I store on the same zpool that is used to store datastores. Is there any way to select files outside of a datastore and write them to a tape using Tape Backup directly? It seems that this is not supported, and that Tape Backup will only backup data in a Datastore (that...

Hello, i run a PBS with the Version 2.4-2. Now when i run a tape backup and the backup job is finished there is no new entry on the Contents Page of the Tape Backups. Normally i would see on which tape which vm is stored and so on but after upgrading to the latest version this doesnt happen and...

Hi folks, I'd appreciate a little help please with MediaPools and MediaSets for tape backup as I'm having a brain fart and just can't get my head around how it works in PBS. Since we have a fully synced backup system (soon to be offsite too) we only want to use tape as a last line of defence...

Hi Everybody, I'm currently in the process of evaluating PBS as our new backup system. The evaluation instance is currently running on an older server and connected via iSCSI to a Tandberg neoseries autochanger. I can see the PCIe card when running lspci, and the /dev/sgx devices are there...

I am looking for suggestions. I have a small number of VM's that are critical for me and I want to offsite my backups to AWS. I would really like to use an amazon Tape Gateway, This makes sense to me because I already have a stack of LTO5 tapes that will need to be migrated. I know there have...

Good day I'm using PVE for over 7 years and i loved PBS as it came out. Everything works like a charm, for sure some skills are needed but without them, we would be wrong in our passion anyways. Thank you in advance for building such unique tools! Actually, I have a server in a dc in frankfurt...
