I have an issue were the server keeps using all available space.

How do i found out what is taking up the space?

Also, were are backups stored, local backups. i backed i a number of vms locally but i do not know where those backups are. I want to copy those backup off the server.
 
Hi!

It depends on how you setup your Proxmox VE installation, but by default (if installed with ext4), there are two storages configured for PVE: a directory storage in /var/lib/vz and a LVM-based storage (which the first is part of). If you're running out of disk space, there is the du(1) tool for checking file sizes or check in the WebGUI under the storages themselves (e.g. local, local-lvm). There you can find all the VM images and backups that are stored on the selected storage.

If you backed them up to local, the backups should be in the /var/lib/vz/dump directory.
