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...

I used a 6.3 proxmox test host on my desk to migrate some VMware VMs into Proxmox. I got them booting and running on my test host. I did a vzdump to export them, then sneakernet to get them into their target proxmox clusters. The VMs I imported into a Proxmox 6.4 cluster worked fine. The VMs...

Hi I’ve got 3 VMs and 2 containers running. I normally do backups onto a Synology NFS share. Both containers as well as one VM give me error 5 (below) when trying to back them up onto the NFS share. It can’t be a permission issue since two VMs work fine. It’s probably also not related to the...

Hello, I found a few days ago that most of my backups on some Proxmox hosts are gone. It seems to be a bug on some of my Proxmox Hosts, but not all of them. vzdump is removing all backups when a specific VMID gets backed up. Here is the backup log of one host where ID 161 is bugged: vzdump...

Hello guys, I have some custom vzdump.cron commands to run my VM backups. After I had reinstalled my Proxmox server some days ago and copied the following commands into /etc/pve/vzdump.cron, my scheduled backup do not run anymore. When I create the backups via the web interface, the backups...

Hallo, Ich sende einmal die Woche Backups von meinen VMs/LXCs über CIFS zum NAS (FreeNAS). Das ganze dauert leider jetzt rund 2 1/2 Stunden und da ich das im "Stop"-Modus mache sind dann halt die VMs ziemlich lange nicht erreichbar. Verbunden sind die Server per Gbit-LAN und bei normalem...

Hi, I am forwarding the vzdump result mails to Pushover (SMTP to Push-Gateway). Unfortunately I cannot see the result of the vzdump in the title as it is too long for the smartphone screen. Is there a way to change the subject of the result mails or do I need to use own hook scripts? Greetings...

Hi to all, I'm wondering if there is someone that knows how to include an unused drive (disk) when backing up a VM. When I try the backup, either using the GUI or the command line, vzdump 151 --node MyPve --storage MyStorage --mode snapshot --remove 0 --compress zstd the unused disk I have in...

About a month ago the server stopped to send e-mail after performing a backup with vzdump. In the logfile I do not find a line which indicates that vzdump does do this. I also checked the /var/log folder if a file contains the target e-mail address, no result. The mailserver is correct resolved...

Hi there, We are trying to use a vzdump hook script to do some things. We have a Proxmox cluster setup with several hypervisors. We took a look at /usr/share/doc/pve-manager/examples/vzdump-hook-script.pl and made an adaptation: #!/bin/bash LIST_BORG_BACKUPS=${DUMPDIR}/list_borg_backups...
