How to get Proxmox Configuration

[Chris_7]

How can i export important network settings (IP Address and VM bridges) for the host machine itself (Proxmox Server). Not the (VM's and CT's).

This is important for me to set-up in case of failure. Note: We already have the cluster and backup running for the VM's and CT's.

Please suggest possible solutions and tools, thank you!

Normally backing up /etc and /var/lib/vz folders should contain more than you need.

If you only want the settings itself:

• network in file /etc/network/interfaces
• config in folder /etc/pve

Thank you so much @LnxBil.

Saw this http://ziemecki.net/content/proxmox-config-backups

and its basically the same like all what you have mentioned.

If you use ZFS on your (root) disk you can simply snapshot and send/receive your files to another location. This works best for because I can restore the machine very easily.

If you only use ZFS for storage (as I do on another machine), I rsync the rootfs to a ZFS filesystem+snapshot and use this as backup.
