Hi, I just set up Proxmox Backup Server, installed a 1TB drive, formatted with Ext4. I followed the guide on the manual to create a dataset, attached the PBS to PVE. I have about 300GB of VMs, 10 or so VMs. I ran the backup job overnight, checked and saw that only 3 jobs completed and 1TB shows as full.... what did I do wrong?
 
How did you set up your backup jobs? Can you send a screenshot?

Would also be interesting to see the storage of your VMs, can you provide the output of pvesm list <yourstorage> ?
 
I must have done something wrong, installed a 10TB drive in, formatted it with xfs and created a dataset just like before, recreated my backup job and re-ran with NO issues this time. I think the entire backup about a couple hundred GB. It did not take long to transfer either, maybe an hour?
