Hi,

we are using this very often to deploy VM templates and the settings below are working very well. Please check, if your storabe box is possibly locked for external access or if CIFS is disabled. This could be the reason.

You can also try to mount the share with CLI:

pvesm add cifs Name --server uXXXXXX.your-storagebox.de --share backup --username uXXXXXX --password XXXXXXXXXXXXX --content XXXXXXX

BTW: I would higly recommend to not use the storage for VM images, because access speed becomes very slow during the evening and night hours. The reason might be, that much people are running backup to the boxes.

Hey, thanks for reply.

I do the command you tell me. No error.

EDIT: Oh okay, i see the storage now. But i don't see the backups of each VMS. The "backups" menu loading and stack...
EDIT2: And for the settings, they are here:

Sorry, but I don't know you experience with Proxmox and you didn't describe exactly what you want to do. It seems you like to recover PVE backups that are stored on the boxes.

As I wrote, the boxes become very laggy in the evening hours, so that could be the reason. Please check also, the content of the storage is defined for backup. If the backups that are located on the box are originally VZDump files from a PVE, they should be visible in the storage section and recoverable.

Sorry, I'm using a translator to be able to answer you in English. What I want concretely is to be able to make backups of the content of each of my machines (lxc containers). Currently, I use the Storage Box from Hetzner. I am unable to see the backups that have been made when I press the "Backups" button. I show you screens below to make it clearer for you.


What I show you below is the backup of backups but INTERNAL and which does not have enough storage space so I use the Storage Box. And on the latter, I can't see the Backups. However on the "local" backup I can.

OK, thanks for the description. Now it's better understandable for me.

Unfortunately I have no further idea to fix this issue. I would recommend to access the box in a different way to check if there are any files on it at all. You can do this by example with /mnt/pve/<STORAGE_ID> and list with ls -l the content. On a Windows PC you can mount the SMB share with the Explorer and check the content. It seems the content is not suitable for PVE backup.

I worked on another host that had the same external storage as me. Unfortunately I am no longer in contact with this person and therefore cannot help me. At one point it was working, then suddenly nothing. I think I have misconfigured and that's why I ask for your help.

You can see the result here:

Good Morning,

that looks good so far. PVE is storing the backups to the "dump" folder. So please have a look to the "dump" folder, there should be files inside.

ls -l ./dump

Should look something like this:

Hello.

Yes of course, many lines...

OK, everything looks good. I'm sorry but I have no further idea. Maybe someone else can help.

Is there a solution you know with mount-cifs..? I see it in another post
