Hi, I'm trying to make a full backup of a VM to an usb drive, but somehow I'm getting an unexpected error about the parameters being used. So I've started by mounting the usb drive, setting an ext4 fs, mount it to /mnt/usb and creating the folder /mnt/usb/vm.backups where I'll be storing the...

Hi all! my proxmox environment is consuming near to 100% disk space. I figured out my CTs only consume around 50% of storage. I found a folder called "/vz/vzdump_tmp_dir" which is configured in /etc/vzdump.conf as tmpdir. Currently, no backups are running. In the past, a couple of backups...

Hello Everyone, This could be TL;DR I use Proxmox from the very beginning and I use ZFS for ages back when I had to compile it by myself and official PVE did not support using ZFS. I use smaller clusters (2 - 6 nodes, but a cluster is a cluster in case of 3+ nodes, so, if you see one, you saw...

We recently completed the upgrade to Proxmox 7. The issue exists on two different kernels pveversion: pve-manager/7.2-7/d0dd0e85 (running kernel: 5.15.39-1-pve) and pve-manager/7.2-7/d0dd0e85 (running kernel: 5.15.35-2-pve) Since the upgrade Io wait has increased dramatically during vzdump...

Dear fellows, this ist my very first Proxmox problem. I upgraded from PVE 6.4 to 7.1 which was all milk and honey and ran fine without any trouble. But since the upgrade, I cannot backup a specific LXC container in suspend mode, only stop mode works. The error shown is as follows: What really...

I wanted to backup some VMs but exclude the /var/www/ directory, as it is saved via other method and quite large. With VZDump the parameter --exclude-path is only supported within containers, but are there any alternatives or similar ways for VMs? Thanks in advance!

We have a small PVE cluster that ran PVE 6.4, and when we upgraded them to PVE 7.0, our backup jobs for VMs failed (but not CTs). We have collected the following diagnoses. The majority of our compute servers are HPE ProLiant DL388 Gen10, with Intel X710-DA2 SFP+ NIC (HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port...
