vzdump

Today I was moving some VM's manually between servers via backup&restore, and I noticed that my system copies the dump file all okay between servers, but when I start the restore process, it is really sluggish and my I/O wait time increases. This is more of an intro to my actual question, but...

Hi, I backup some VMs using SSH with vzdump redirecting to stdout, similar to the command below: ssh root@pve-server vzdump 100 --mode snapshot $VZDUMP_PARAMETERS --stdout > ${SERVER}_${NAME}_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).vma 2> >(tee -a ${SERVER}_${NAME}_$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log >&2) But I noticed that if...

Hi, everyone. I am new Proxmox user. I have 2 Dell R740 servers. Both have 4x 4TB HDDs. I want to make 3 of them RAID 5, make 1 of the other server's VM backups, the other one in the same way and save its VM backups to the 1 HDD. Do you think this makes sense?

Within a vzdump hook script, how can I differentiate scheduled backups from those run interactively via the web UI? There doesn't appear to be anything in env I might use to do this.

Hello community, I hope you are having a great time I have virtual machines with Windows Server 2022, the backups of the virtual machines were around 12GB. I did a test copying large files to the virtual machine and indeed the size of the backup file grew. I deleted them again and made the...

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...

Hello, My ultimate goal is to vzdump a VM over SSH using a non-root user. I have searched and tried for some time now but did not manage to find a working solution. I have created a user named vzdumper via useradd and, for now, added him to the Administrator role. However, when I login with...

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...

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...
