vzdump

Hello Proxmox community. It has been a while, and I have been rethinking my backup strategy. What would be the recommended backup procedure? Or a recommended backup procedure? I am running Windows Server 2019 with a SQL Express Database on a separate vmdisk within the VM. So far I have been...

For several days we were struggling with a VM crash during the night. Unfortunately this VM is currently a SPOF, causing a lot of problems. PVE dashboard showed a yellow triangle with text "IO error". VM frozen state, no access possible using ssh or console, until poweroff/on. On the VM itself...

I found this odd. I had an old Server with 2 x 1 TB SSDs setup. One Nvme and one Sata SSD setup as a Raid ZFS 1 or mirror. The Storage pool I setup with ZFS mirror is a little smaller than the new server, but contains way more VM Disks but takes up less space. It's weird. Can somebody help...

Hi, I have noticed this issue where all of my LXC fail to backup while all of the the VMs do backup successfully. This is similar to This Thread which has been marked "Solved", though that sounds like a workaround. This is the error I am seeing: INFO: Starting Backup of VM 110 (lxc) INFO...

hi forum, i mounted to our pve server via sshfs a remote folder via: sshfs -o reconnect,allow_other,IdentityFile=/root/.ssh/id_rsa -p 222 backupon@78.4x.xxx.xxx:/usr/home/backupon/proxmoxbackup /sshfs; in pve i set the folder /sshfs as backup folder with vzdump feature. but the backup of some...

Hi all, I've run into a situation where my server (running 5.4-3) shutdown, and when booting again, had no network access at all (despite attempts to change IPs etc..) Thus, I've decided to call it quits and start again, on the latest 6.1 PVE version. I've thrown a USB stick into the machine...

Good day all, I might be doing something wrong that's very simple, I get the following error in the log file: find: missing argument to -exec or INFO: find: -exec: no terminating ";" or "+" These errors I get on proxmox 5.4 and newer, but on the proxmox 4.xx version the hookscript does what...

I just found out I can use pigz instead of gzip. Now I can use the higher compression without extending the time of running backups. In GZIP you can define a Compressions-Level of 9 but default is 6. How can I see which compression level I am currently using with vzdump and how can I change...

Hello. I want to move containers from virtuozzo server to proxmox 6. Here things I done: I stop container and try: vzdump 0d6c6bf8-ce7f-4be6-a5e0-0ae102e8f323 and get error: ERROR: strange VPS ID '0d6c6bf8-ce7f-4be6-a5e0-0ae102e8f323' Hmm.. ok, I found that I can change VPS ID and do that by...

Hallo, hoffentlich ist hier der richtige Bereich dafür. ich habe einen einzelnen PVE Server und habe seit kurzem massive Probleme beim erstellen von Backups. Bisher habe ich (klassisch) über die GUI ein vzdump Backup-Job (nächtlich) erstellt. Leider führt das in bestimmten Konstellationen zum...

I'm starting to prepare for a migration and as part of that process I wanted to dump the VM's & LXC's to a FreeNAS hosted NFS mount. vzdump 104 –-dumpdir /mnt/nas1 –-mode snapshot 400 Parameter verification failed. vmid: invalid format - value does not look like a valid VM ID My Versions are...

Guten Morgen liebe Community Ich bzw. Unser Unternehmen hat folgendes Problem: Wir müssen aktuell unsere Backups auf ein "langsameres" NFS System schreiben. Um Dies zu verbessern habe wir in der Vergangenheit immer mit --tmpdir bzw. dem entsprechenden vzdump.conf Parametern gearbeitet und dies...

Hello everyone, I'm testing borgbackup to copy our backups to some off-site storage. With the normal tar file and following ones, the deduplication isnt as effective as it could be. When I extract the vzdump and inserting every file one by one its much more space efficient. My question is now...

Hi all, We are currently running a PVE cluster with multiple machines and serve about 15 LXC containers and 10 VMs. We are using PVE replication (every 15min) to onsite PVE machines and znapzend to create hourly snapshots that are also replicated off site. This should protect us against a...

I try to add ZFS storage, and want to write backups there. But only allowed contents are Disk Image and Container. Where do I put the backups? cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg dir: local path /var/lib/vz content snippets,vztmpl,images,backup,rootdir maxfiles 0 shared 0 zfspool: vmpool...

This is what my vzdump default settings look like: #vzdump default settings tmpdir: /tmp dumpdir: /mnt/pve/synology/dump #storage: STORAGE_ID mode: snapshot compress: gzip #bwlimit: KBPS #ionice: PRI #lockwait: MINUTES #stopwait: MINUTES #size: MB #stdexcludes: BOOLEAN #mailto: ADDRESSLIST...

Heyho! I've setup up two no hosts in a new datacenter and tried to move LXCs from the old hosts via vzdump & ssh-pipe. This failed several times and I could break the problem down to `pct restore` from pipe: root@host:~# vzdump 99999 --stdout | pct restore --storage ssd --rootfs 1 99991 -...

I'd like to further analyze the current backup status of Proxmox VE So the log of the existing backup job is required I double clicked task from the web UI, and then CTRL +a/CTRL +c/CTRL +p select, copy and paste. But the LOG pasted is incomplete You can see the action video here...

How can I use vzdump for a specific VM, only to backup scsi0 (and not scsi1), or more common, how can I include/exclude specific disks from backup? Best regards and thanks for your help in advance!

Please note that we have a backup scheduled for our VM's everyday. We realised recently that for one of the servers the backup logs says that the backup was successful but we cannot find the related vzdump file. Even when we take a manual backup the same is happening. Could someone please let...
