    [TUTORIAL] Restore a file from a vzdump/vma backup on the CLI

    Preface While I am basically sure this is documented somewhere I was not able to find a compact guide. And I was never in a situation where this was necessary... yet. What I had found is https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VMA and the man-pages of the required commands, but no “walk-through”...

    Trouble with vzdump/backups (especially windows)

    My linux VMs back up fine, but the windows ones do not. I was using zstd and the backups kept freezing (I couldn't stop the process without restarting the node), so I am trying gzip now. This time, the process at least ends without hanging, but there are still errors on the windows VMs. I'm...

    Backup 'zstd: /*stdout*\: Input/output error'

    In one of my server I frequently run into failed backups on a CIFS location and since this is the case for several month now I thought I start a new thread, also there already is this old thread from another user but probably with a similar problem.
