Thanks for another fantastic guide! I've had this on the back burner for ages but the server is so low power and easy to configure with your guide that I no longer have an excuse. Thanks again.
This is perfect. Anyone that has been thinking about setting up a proxmox node in their lab, have three very detailed videos to start their journey.
Great videoand thank you. This was hugely helpful.
Very informative. Love your videos
great content as always thanks a lot!
Thanks for this video. You are perfect.
pretty good video and info.
But, if you want to backup your current settings for the primary proxmox?
Hello! Great Video! i have a question. im searching for a backup software to backup all the physical server (baremetal backup). at the moment im using veeam agent for linux with schedule, but i have a lot of problems with it, especially with lvm storage. i also see that storagecraft works with linux too. any suggestions? :)
Thanks for the tutorial, i didn't know where to find finger print until i watch your videos. this may be a dumb question, is it true that I need at least the same amount of free space to accommodate what I used on vm guest os plus data drives? for example i have like 10 vm's and 20TB of data volume I would need more than that to back them up plus versioning?
Thank you so much
you can also run your PBS on your truenas server and use the storage :)
and then sync that offsite to a relative truenas :)
Very good video. I need 4 TB for data with proxmox server backup. Can it be put in the virtual storage instead of the 128 that you put? Do you take them from the hard drives that the synology has? Does it matter that the file system is brtfs? Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for a great video.
You bet!
Another simple and content packed video. Thanks a bunch
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
Say you install Proxmox Backup on baremetal. Could you then have it point to an NFS share for backups instead of using the internal storage?
Hello, thank you for this video, there are many things to show about proxmox. Can you make a video on how to restore a backup with proxmox backup server. Thanks
thanks 🎉
THKS U
I'm still fairly new to PVE so am probably missing something obvious. I'm currently backing up my VM's and Containers into a mounted SMB/CIF's share using my PVE's built-in backup features.
How does installing a separate PVE-Backup server differ? Is it because you get extra features like incremental backups, client-side encryption, or is there something else I'm missing? Cheers.
It offers deduplication and other tools for backups such as verifying them.
Thanks ;)
9:19 hey bro can i ask, Why when I create a backup job, the ID column does not appear like the one in the video, please help on Monday I will present, thank you
Thank you, ive just setup my backup server after going through this.
awesome!
also be sure to check regularly that your backups are happening the way you want them to
@@DBTechYT , Thanks, Im testing with a 200GB VM ,it's still running.
thanks from indonesia.
Just thinking that a tool of this quality is free is crazy. Its appearance may seem a little threatening at first, but when used it is intuitive and full of features. Putting my home server on Proxmox will basically eliminate 90% of the problems I have with it.
Following along I am stumped on the pve side adding the PBS storage. For me it asks for ID / Server / username and password / datastore / fingerprint just like yours, BUT it also wants "Namespace" ?
Nevermind - figured it out. In PBS I went to the new datastore then clicked on Content and toward the right clicked + Add NS. I typed Root and put that in the namespace field on the pve side too.
Bonjour, je débutent dans Proxmox, car je m'aperçois ESCi 8 est trop psychorigide ! !. Est-ce qu'on peux installer ou utilisé une image ISO d'un jeux émulateur comme, Batocera ou Recalbox. Merci de votre avis.
I dont get any email when backup is complete, how can i fix that?
Hello what you use for Virtualisation this "Jarvis" its a VMWare or ?
Jarvis is my Synology DS1621XS+
What are you using, your setup (server) ? I have grown out of my rPi's. Thanks as always
I've got a few different servers sunning on my network. A Synology DS1621xs+, 2 Terramaster NAS devices, a ZimaBoard, a LattePanda, and a couple of others
If you want something cheap and low powered, I recommend an old laptop, especially since people will often even toss out or give away their old devices like laptops and party thanks to cryptominers there are several good expansion options as well.
@@vgamesx1 I have a server running off a laptop, Ubuntu Server, with a ZFS Z1 with the drives just on a USB dock. The problem I have is the inability to get SMART data off the drives over USB. Same issue with a Dell Optiplex 3046 Micro as a server, only has one drive via USB for backups, no ZFS. Have an idea for getting drive SMART data when attached to servers with no internal storage?
@@therealjoejennings Well, I'm running Ubuntu Server (v20) too with standard EXT4 mounts and I know windows can read smart data, so your issue must either be a problem with something on your OS like the configuration / app you're using or your drives / usb dock simply isn't providing that information, I use Scrutiny if that helps.
Here's a test for you, shutdown your sever then plug your dock into your windows PC and grab CrystalDiskInfo, see if you can read the drives, if you can read the smart data you know the problem is elsewhere, if not then find one of those usb external drive cases to test again and while you're at it wouldn't hurt to run some Seatools tests and of course be careful not to accidentally format your drives or anything.
@@vgamesx1 Greatly appreciate your reply. It was my impression that it was not possible but based on your response I'll take a fresh look at the problem. In the past I was trying to monitor SMART over USB using CLI only in Ubuntu Server. I do have a Win10 VM running on a PVE where I could plug the USB drive into to check SMART data using CrystalDiskInfo as suggested. No risk to data, server is new and USB drive only holding test backups so I can go crazy in Win10. I'll see what I can figure out! Thanks again!
I am very glad you have made this video and thanks by far (Your the Best). The main and only problem I have with this video is why are you speaking so fast? I have to keep rewinding back over and over and over and over again because you are speaking like John Moschitta Jr. It is making me take much longer to get to know how to do this because of the rewinding. I know this is an older video but please for the life of me slow down. All in all thanks and yes I 100% love your videos
I talk fast. doesn't matter what I'm doing. I've always talked fast. I've tried to be slower recently, but I feel like I sound drunk or something when I slow down. It's come up so many times in CZcams comments, that I made this page on my website years ago: dbtechreviews.com/i-talk-fast/
@@DBTechYT I don't know others were saying the same thing. My bad, I am still new to your channel and learning from your work! I get it and feel bad for calling you out like I did. It was more of an FYI if you feel me. You have just gained a new subscriber. I wish I had done it earlier but later is better than never! Have a great holiday weekend. Love always and thanks for your quick reply. Peace out!
I honestly don't take any offense to it. I know I talk fast. It comes up quite a bit and I'm aware of it. I try to slow down when I become aware of it, but it's hard to not just be who I am.
@@DBTechYT I will like you to know, job completed thanks to you!
Can you use the backup client to back up a Windows machine? If not the backup client how could I backup a Windows machine and the same level of granularity?
Based on the quick search I did, it doesn't look like there's a Windows PBS client available, but "what might work though is to share a drive under windows with smb and mount it on a linux machine and backup it from there with proxmox-backup-client."
if you didn't want to do that, I'm actually planning some content about backing up Windows machines very soon.
@@DBTechYT Thank you very much for the suggestion. I'll do that. I couldn't find anything either. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.
Is there a complementary video showing how to recover the system using these backups? I only trust backups I know I can restore from.
czcams.com/video/dtTe7K6UE5k/video.html
Just a note to those installing on a Synology to "apt-get install qemu-guest-agent" - hope that's ok ?
Either I missed it or you didn't enable garbage collection. You certanly need to enable it, otherwise your pruned backups wont be deleted and your storage runs full. Verification is also important
Friend!!
A doubt!
Do you have a video showing the backup server working with several proxmox?
Ex:
--> nextmox1
--> nextmox2
--> Proxmox Backup Server (with these two proxmox connected)
Why that! If you have more than one VM with the same ID, one backup overwrites the other!
I don't know if you already caught this!
Hug!
Thanks!
What you were seeing there was 3 Proxmox nodes in a high availability cluster. They all work together to make sure that, if one node goes down, the others can take over that workload. They also have provisions in place to make sure that the Container or VM IDs can't be duplicated.
I think I didn't express myself well! I have 3 separate proxmox nodes, and 1 backup server, when I put the proxmox nodes in the backup and perform a simple backup and the vm has the same ID, it overwrites the other node's.
Thank you very much for responding to me and for your time.I think I didn't express myself well! I have 3 separate proxmox nodes, and 1 backup server, when I put the proxmox nodes in the backup and perform a simple backup and the vm has the same ID, it overwrites the other node's.

Then you need to make sure that your backups and your existing IDs are different before you run backups. Or, you need to make sure that you remove any old backups that have IDs that would cause interference with your new containers and VMs. Of course, if you've got 3 separate nodes there's a chance that they might all have the same or similar IDs by pure chance. That's part of the administration that YOU have to deal with when you deploy your assets.
My friend!
Thank you very much!
I understand perfectly, I'm going to do something else to minimize this problem I have!
Strong hug!
@@DBTechYT
You actually need to probably give 2gigs of Ram, I gave mine 1gig and it complained that 1 gig is not enough and install will likely fail. Ofcourse it didnt fail but it does complain.
Proxmox Backup Server generate API?
Would you like to use a full sentence to ask your question? WTF are you asking?
Try to shutdown the prox bck server and watch the flood missing-like messages in your syslog tab on your pve
I though I could backup the hosts with PBS.
Too bad Synology provides a backdoor to third parties.
I have truenas core running in a vm on proxmox main drive. Truenas core uses 2 4 Tb SSD drive in a mirror configuration. How should the 2 4tb ssds be backed up?
You're not backing up the drives themselves, you're backing up the VMs and Containers
