Hi,
I am currently evaluating a proxmox Installation with a couple of VM.
My environment is proxmox on local zfs with disks in zvols. I am backing them up to nfs and am getting filenames like this:
vzdump-qemu-100-2016_03_14-09_53_32.log
vzdump-qemu-100-2016_03_14-09_53_32.vma.lzo
vzdump-qemu-101-2016_03_14-09_57_38.log
vzdump-qemu-101-2016_03_14-09_57_38.vma.lzo
vzdump-qemu-103-2016_03_14-10_02_19.log
vzdump-qemu-103-2016_03_14-10_02_19.vma.lzo
That is the filenames only include the numeric vm id from the time of restore. I cannot find the VM name anywhere. If I move all of my about 50VM to proxmox with daily backups I am going to have a hard time matching the ID to the VM names.
What would be the best practice to handle this ?
Is there any way to get the VM name into the filenames ?
Should I backup each VM to a different directory ? If yes how ?
Also I found it slightly inconvenient that all backup files are being writting with a numeric uid of 4294967294 instead of something that is actually listed in /etc/passwd. Any way to change the user that is doing the NFS writing ?
