vma

Preface While I am basically sure this is documented somewhere I was not able to find a compact guide. And I was never in a situation where this was necessary... yet. What I had found is https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VMA and the man-pages of the required commands, but no “walk-through”...

Hi I'm using proxmox 8.1.3 I created a virtual windows machine and I want to take the backup file of it and convert it to this vhdx format how can I do?

I am getting the following 'failed: storage 'backup' does not exist' error when trying to restore a vzdump from another server to my proxmox instance. Moved it from proxmox 6 to 7. All i want to know is how can i change the storage name in the VMA file from 'backup' to 'local-lvm'? I tried...

So I just backed up my Proxmox VM's and got rid of proxmox since I want to use this machine for QEmu instead. The problem is QEmu don't support VMA so how can I convert VMA to QEmu without Promox?

Hi! I have a PBS system (latest v2.1-1 with kernel 5.13.19-4-pve) running with ZFS raidz2 on a ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 @ 2.10GHz, 1 socket with 8 cores + 2 threads per core AKA 16 CPUs). The system also has pve-qemu-kvm v6.1.1-1 installed (from...

After backing up a VM what I do is to 'extract' the VMA file to a directory that is then backed up by restic. (This makes deduplication possible with restic). The original VMA is deleted at the end. All this is done automatically with scripts. What I get in the directory is something like this...

Hey everyone. I have some .vma.lzo server images that I need to extract for forensics analysis. I use lzop to get to just the .vma file, but I'm finding it difficult to decompress further. My analysis machines is disconnected from the internet so I need to find a way to get the vma extract tool...

I'm working on something and was wondering if vma extract output can be piped. Right now I'm looking at piping to rsync (that could change later). Thanks.

Hi y'all , I'm pretty new with the proxmox V machine thing and need to get certain files from the back up I did on an external Drive I have the External Drive right now connected to my Linux client machine (I have windows as well). is there a way to extract files from this backup I have ? Ps...

I have a VM backup that I want to restore, a .vma.lzo file. This file is huge because of an out-of-control process. Can I delete a dir from inside a .vma file and then restore the VM? Restoring the entire VM with all the unneeded data inside would take up way too much time.

Hello gentlemen, we have such a problem. Proxmox VE 5-4-5 It turned out that when the size of the hard disk was changed by one of the VMs, they made a mistake or a glitch happened and it turned out they made 50TB for the 50GB place. Proxmox successfully made a backup of this virtual machine, but...

Hey there, I've setup proxmox with 3 different storages: local-lvm, ssd based nfs-storage, which is a remote nfs server nfs-backup, which is also a remote nfs server I want to create a VM with one disk on local-lvm and one disk on nfs-storage. I can backup a machine like this just fine, but...
