[SOLVED] Is it possible disable/ prevent fetching datastores?

[wingyiulam]

Hi all,

I only need to backup once a month through PBS; Is it possible disable/ prevent fetching datastores?

the syslog generates a lot of error when PBS is down. (pve pvestatd[1165]: backup: error fetching datastores - 500 Can't connect to (No route to host))

Thanks,
Wing

You can only disable the storage. This can be done at:
Datacenter > Storage > edit your storage > uncheck "Enabled" > OK

If you want to backup more times than every month, you may look into Hook Scripts to start and shutdown your PBS automatically.

I see, the system still generates fetching errors after I disable the backup storage.

Strange. Just tested it: I disabled the PBS storage and the cluster immediately stopped spamming the "No route to host"...

nope thanks Azunai333! it works like a charm. I just misread your suggestion, and I disabled the backups instead of storages inattentively. This is exactly what I am trying to do; it's all good now!
