Hello forum,
I'm trying to enable the possibility of having multiple backups for a VM. I have edited the /etc/vzdump.conf file and added maxfiles: 5 at the bottom of the file. The contents of the file are now as follows...
# vzdump default settings
#tmpdir: DIR
#dumpdir: DIR
#storage: STORAGE_ID
#mode: snapshot|suspend|stop
#bwlimit: KBPS
#ionice: PRI
#lockwait: MINUTES
#stopwait: MINUTES
#size: MB
#maxfiles: N
#script: FILENAME
#exclude-path: PATHLIST
#pigz: N:
maxfiles: 5
Do I need to reload a service for the Proxmox GUI to re-read the new value ? When I attempt a backup via the GUI I get an error stating the backup can not be completed "Only 1 backup(s) allowed", however, I can manually do a backup via the command line using the following command..
vzdump 104 -dumpdir /mnt/pve/VM_BACKUPS/dump/ -compress lzo
The backup process can be seen in the GUI and the new backup file appears in the GUI.
Any pointers folks as this has got me stumped.
