I'm running latest OPNsense version in a VM on a standalone host (N305 based) - and perform a backup once a week to a PBS server on another machine - Backup runs at 3 am on Sunday mornings - takes about 30 minutes using snapshot mode (60G disk image) - I get an e-mail report status backup was successful . . . BUT

Many times after that, although the VM is still running - serveral OPNsense services have stopped and the internet is broke - next morning, when I log into the OPNsense interface, I manually restart the dead services and everything works again - or a reboot is necessary.

Any suggestions? Should I not be using snapshot mode and use suspend or stop instead?

This does not happen every time - just somethimes. I thought it was a fluke - but the recurrance is annoying.

Thx in advance
 
Just curious, have you installed the qemu-guest-agent inside of OPNsense? I haven't seen such behaviour in my OPNsense machines, which are backuped up at least once per day.

Yes. Funny enough, If i perform a local backup - it seems better (takes 10 minutes) , but over the network to the PBS - it takes 30 minutes to complete - not sure if that has something to do with it ??

sorry, my Bad - wasn't sure which was the best - and this thread seemed awfully quiet . . .
