PBS backups failing and bringing down the PBS UI

My PBS is a LXC container and I had all of this working prior to a shutdown that I did. After rebooting my proxmox server, the backups have not worked. Yesterday I upgraded Proxmox frm 7.4.3 to 8 and also PBS from 2.4 to 3.0 but I still have all my backups failing as below.

Code:

INFO: Upload directory '/mnt/vzsnap0' to 'root@pam@192.168.1.33:8007:pbsDatastore' as root.pxar.didx

These include the Backup Jobs in Proxmox as well as manual backups. Once I start the backup, the PBS UI also is incassesible until I stop the backup and then restart the proxmox-backup-proxy service.

What would be the issue here?
 
Last few lines from the PBS container:
Code:
Jul 13 19:17:03 pbs zed[10454]: Failed to initialize libzfs
Jul 13 19:17:03 pbs systemd[1]: zfs-zed.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

Jul 13 19:17:03 pbs zed[10460]: ZFS Event Daemon 2.1.12-pve1 (PID 10460)

Just this over and over...

Which service logs should I pull from the pve journal?

Here's how the storage is defined in PVE:

any inputs ?

I have disabled all the backups currently as PBS UI goes down whenever a backup starts and hangs...
 
can you post more logs from pve and pbs? (the above logs are not really enough to say anything)
also since the pbs is a container, i'd probably disable/stop the zfs related services inside the pbs to prevent log spamming (but that seems unrelated)

also is it possible that the storages are simply overwhelmed when the backup starts ?
 
hi @dcsapak ,

I started a backup from my desktop :
Code:
Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: starting new backup on datastore 'pbsDatastore': "host/prodesk/2023->
Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: protocol upgrade done

Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: GET /previous
Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: download 'index.json.blob' from previous backup.
Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: POST /dynamic_index
Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: GET /previous
Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: register chunks in 'root.pxar.didx' from previous backup.
Jul 17 10:01:00 pbs proxmox-backup-proxy[45822]: download 'root.pxar.didx' from previous backup.

The logPBS UI immediately went down the second I started the backup.

Upon restarting proxmox-backup-proxy, I got the UI back and in the UI I see:

So it seems the connection happens during the backup but then the backup never finishes. As you can see, there's one backup that's "stuck" since the last 4 days as well along with the one I started today.

can it be that your network is overloaded?

the many 'connection timed out' messages would indicate that there is either an error in your network or it is simply overloaded
 
hi @dcsapak ,
Thanks for responding.

The gmail (Network is unreachable) errors seem to be related to this : https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/gmail-unreachable-connection-timed-out.112676/

I, too, don't have any issues with accessing the internet and even accessing the proxmox server or any other services running on it in general. So I don't think the backups failing are due to the network overload.

Any other ideas please?

PS: I'll probably want to tackle the gmail error too as it seems to be polluting my logs quite a bit, but I'll look into it after my backups start working.

I started another backup and sure enough the pbs UI became non-responsive.

[pbs: ~]── -

The "unable to load blob" error is because I tried a backup yesterday which got stuck and I had to restart proxmox-backup-proxy ... so when refreshing the UI, it obviously couldn't find the "unfinished" backup.

But as you can see from the logs, the backup gets started and it seem to connect to the PBS instance too, but then gets stuck and never finishes.
 
Here's the PVE logs from the last 2 days:

Seems like PVE cannot connect to the datastores. Not sure what the difference is between the Can't connect vs Can't connect (Connection timed out). Is there something I can do to fix this?

i'd try to connect via ssh/pct console to the pbs and then check with htop/top/ps during a backup what might be going on
 
I have a garbage collection running for the past 16 hours but it doesn't seem to be doing anything: 1689803424024.png

Most of my other garbage collections have completed within 30 mins.
1689803494721.png

Once this garbage collection finishes, I can test out a backup and see if it indicates anything.
 
can you check with htop/ps/top/etc to see what the server is doing? espeically the proxmox-backup-proxy processes

Thanks for sticking with me on this...

The GC ran for 24 hours and then I tried to stop it but even that didn't do anything except an extra line in the task log indicating that it received a stop request. So I rebooted the PBS container but upon reboot another GC started immediately and has been running for the past 8 hours even though I requested a stop.

Here's the top output. The load seems high but is the same as that on the PVE server since PBS is just a LXC container.

At this point I haven't really found out why it stopped working.I had shutdown the PVE and the NAS on June 25th and then rebooted on July 6 as I was out of town.
1689860734180.png

Since the reboot the backups have stopped working. Initially I had not noticed it and I also updated PVE from 7.3 to 8 and also PBS from 2.4 to 3, but that hasn't changed anything.
 
Just went ahead and started a backup even though the GC task hadn't stopped yet inspite of giving it the abort request 9 hours ago.

That's where it is stuck. The PBS UI instantly becomes unavailable until I restart proxmox-backup-proxy

can you post a portion of the unfiltered journal (so that we can see everything that is going on in the pbs?), also can you post the output of 'ps ax | grep proxmox' ?
