vzdump

I'm using the suspend mode for my automated backups, but in order to decrease disk writes I would like to have rsync write it's temporary files to a ramdisk (tmpfs). Something like this: in /etc/fstab tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,nodiratime,size=32G 0 0 in...

I have a proxmox cluster. I migrated one of the containers from one host to the other. File system is zfs, pveversion pve-manager/4.4-12/e71b7a74 (running kernel: 4.4.40-1-pve) After that vzdump started to hang on INFO: create storage snapshot 'vzdump' If I try zfs snapshot...

I have a cluster with two nodes. The backups have been running fine. Recently I now get this error on a couple VMs on ONE node. write write error broken pipe. What does that mean? How do I fix that? I have rebooted the Failed VMs hoping that might cause the broken pipes to reconnect, but...

it appears that there is a fault in the job validation code in backup.pm. The offending code is: if ($job->{starttime} =~ m/^(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2})$/) { ($hour, $minute) = (int($1), int($2)); die "hour '$hour' out of range\n" if $hour < 0 || $hour > 23; die "minute '$minute' out of range\n" if...

This issue has been with us since we upgraded our cluster to Proxmox 4.x, and converted our guests from OpenVZ to KVM. We have single and dual socket Westmere, Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge nodes, using ZFS RAID10 HDD or ZFS RAIDZ SSD arrays, and every one of them is affected. Description When...

Wen backing up some KVM guests from ZFS to NFS, vzdump gives the following error: As you can see it takes exactly one hour until vzdump tries this freeze and fails many times, after that the backup completes in normal time. It only happens to a few VMs, most of them are not affected. Any...

Hello, I found that my VM dumps are bigger than the used disk space inside my VMs. I made some searches and found this is because removed files from the disk are just flagged to be deleted but not removed from the disk. I understand that. I found that I can zero-fill my free space with dd, but...

Hello, I have a Proxmox server on which was mounted an NTS cluster that was down. During this down, a backup is launched, since the spot turns in a loop. I can not stop it from the management interface. Thank you in advance for your help :) @ + Clement

Hello, i can't boot a Centos KVM VM form a vzdump backup done on a pve 3.4-6 to last version: No error on vzdump log: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- less vzdump-qemu-103-2017_02_02-06_20_08.log Feb 02 06:20:08 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 103...

Hi there, (where do I do "code blocks" with this forum software's rich text editor?) I did a manual start of vzdump for VMs (Somehow the vzdump cron didn't fire O_o) using this command line: root@proxtracs01:/etc/cron.d# vzdump -all 1 --mailnotification always --mode snapshot --mailto...

When this problem happens the KVM process dies. Never had this problem untilI changed from virtio to virtio-scsi-single, also happened with virtio-scsi vm.conf: args: -D /var/log/pve/105.log boot: cd bootdisk: ide0 cores: 4 ide0: ceph_rbd:vm-105-disk-1,cache=writeback,size=512M ide2...

We have a small Ceph Hammer cluster (only a few monitors and less then 10 OSDs), still it proves very useful for low IO guest storage. Our Ceph cluster runs on our Proxmox nodes, but has it's own, separate gigabit LAN, and performance is adequate for our needs. We would like to use it as backup...

I've got a problem with backuping a VM to remote NAS whitch is mounted with samba to /mnt/z1 This is the log: INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 101 --compress 0 --node far --mode snapshot --remove 0 --storage z1 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 101 (qemu) INFO: status = running INFO: update VM...

We have a Proxmox node with 32 GB RAM and a Xeon Quad Core processor w/HT. We have created a single Windows 2012 R2 VM with 30 GB RAM and 8 cores assigned. The storage is SATA and so is the backup drive. There is no issue with the performance of the VM except when the backup is taken using...

Hello, i've 2 proxmox 4.3-9 cluster setups with 2 servers each. Everything is working as expected. Only the via web gui configured backups on the 2nd node are not executed on each cluster. I could not pinpoint the problem yet. The /etc/pve/vzdump.cron files look similar. Here is one example: #...

Hi, I've changed the address I used for email notifications via Web GUI. I've also changed the backup time from 7am to 7pm., and all the changes are reflected in /etc/cron.d/vzdump However, Proxmox is still backing up at 7am and the emails are still coming to the old address. This happened on...

Hello, I have a 3 node cluster running ceph. I have a ceph monitor and 6 OSDs on each node. Each OSD journal is mapped to an NVMe partition on a separate disk. Each node has a dedicated 10G nic for ceph public network and a dedicated nic for ceph cluster network. On the same LAN as the ceph...

I have an idea for an enhancement of vzdump: when creating a backup job, it would be great to have an option to store the guest's NAME in the backup filename (in addition to the VM ID). So with the option disabled the filenames would look unchanged: vzdump-qemu-240-2016_09_02-01_27_32.log...

Hello, I have ran into an issue recently that I haven't been able so find a solution on (Google seems to turn up no results). My node has 4 VM's (2 Windows, 2 Linux) that are on an LVM storage made up of a raid 10 array. One of my drives had failed and I replaced it, rebuilding went fine and...
