vzdump pool

[andi03]

Hey,
I want to backup all maschines in my Pool PROD with:

vzdump --pool PROD --mode stop --compress zstd

It seems, that vmid is required because of that message

400 Parameter verification failed.
vmid: invalid format - value does not look like a valid VM ID

But I think to use vmid and pool contradicts.

Unfortunately I haven't found any further documentation for this.

pool: <string>
Backup all known guest systems included in the specified pool.

source: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore#vzdump_retention

Any ideas?

 

[fabian]

that should work.. could you give your pveversion -v output, the output of pveum pool list and the full command line and output of the vzdump attempt?

vzdump {<vmid>} [OPTIONS]

 

[fabian]

the command line is wrong, it should be vzdump --pool PROD --mode stop --compress zstd --prune-backups keep-daily=2,keep-weekly=1,keep-monthly=1
