Proxmox Backup Server eats up all the RAM and becomes unresponsible

Hey,

1728028193649.png

when performing a sync job to a local NAS after a few hours the RAM will get FULL (without using SWAP) and the PBS needs to be rebooted.

My setup is like this:

- Backup daily to BK-NAS-01
- weekly SYNC to BK-NAS-02
- weekly connect offsite storage and perform sync job from BK-NAS-02 to BK-NAS-ROTATE

Does this make sense? PBS is running inside PVE as VM.

Greetings
Andrei

Hi,
there where some memory leaks in combination with CIFS which got fixed with proxmox kernel 6.8.8-3. Please try upgrading the kernel to a newer version an see if the issue persists.
