vzdump

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...

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...

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...

Hi Team have a strange issue with a backup policy. Round 1. we previously had a backup policy to take a backup once per week and keep 1 backup. As things change we needed to update this policy to accommodate for more frequent backups. Round 2. The old policy was removed and a new policy...
