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 :)

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:

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

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

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:

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).

vzdump doesn't correctly handle sparse files.
I have 459G sparse file, that happens because I've implemented SSO based on FreeIPA, and users usually have high user id, and lastlog creates sparse file which gets as big as 459G.

Hello,
I first noticed this when using VZDump to backup a VM sitting on a ZFS filesystem to an NFS share on a different host. I am at the moment trying to migrate a 1 TB virtual disk from a Zpool that I wish to destroy and rebuild. The NFS target is backed by a ZFS file system on a fast SSD...
Hi,
Sometimes the VM stops right after the backup is started.
VM is Windows 2003 Web Edition SP2 x86
- Windows's system.log just says about unexpected shutdown
- Proxmox logs show nothing but vzdump error about not running VM
What else can I check? Any help is appreciated.
Hi everyone,
We actually face a problem for scheduling backups of lxc containers with a second raw disk as a mountpoint (mp0).
vzdump seems to ignore this and only backup the raw rootfs. Even with options like backup=1 or backup=yes specified.
Here is the container conf:
root@pmx1:~# cat...
