Hi Support,

The server became unresponsive while a PBS backup was running. I stopped the backup, and the server is now functioning again. It seems the backup process caused the issue.

Could you please look into this and assist

Thank you.
 
You have to give more information, is the pbs an external server ? or it's a vm running inside the PVE ? what is the network speed of the pve ?
 
Hi Support,

The PBS is an external server, and the backup was running on that external server.

Could you please provide the reason for this issue?

Thank you.
 
if you don't use fleecing, the backup will sit between guest I/O and the actual volumes. if the PBS system is too slow, it will cause I/O issues in the VM.. without more details, nobody will be able to tell you whether that is the case though..

Hi,

I would like to kindly ask if there is a way to check whether fleecing backup is currently in use on my proxmox. Additionally, I would appreciate any guidance you could provide on how to set up fleecing backup on an already running Proxmox.

Thank you.
 
please check the documentation and your configuration - nobody else will be able to tell you how your system is configured..
