version 6.3 compatible?

[ameeno]

others have said does not work on 6.2.11 or 6.2.9

i just installed pve 6.3.

how can this work? i want differential backups.

Me too...

I was looking recently how this could be ported, and likely there's a way, but don't expect this to be likely supported for longer than maybe 6.3, as:

• 6.3 has a number of changes how the settings are handled and stored
• 6.3 also has a pretty decent PBS that actually is superior if we talk about incremental backups (not differential)

So, I'm slowly thinking that we should be switching to PBS :)

PBS looks good but i belive we would need a separate machine to handle the pbs side of things right? this doesn't really solve the incremental backup/snapshot issue that exists directly within a single proxmox host.

unless you want to have a VM that holds pbs. but that's risky (backups inside the VM had image).

not really sure, is there a good guide to use pbs and proxmox on a single host?

I have tried to switch to pbs running as an lxc container (debian) inside my only machine. I have problem that it does not let the datastore disks sleep. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/disks-can-not-sleep.80042/

Unsure how you configured that, but I see my HDD sleeping.

I do:

• LVM does not touch HDD drivers
• I do manually mount HDD
• Only datastore is configured

datastore disk is sleeping?

[ayufan]

Yes. I would assume that vgs is waking up the disks for you, at least it was in my case.

I added them to the list of ignored ones in lvm.conf.

We speak of proxmox backup server as lxc debian container inside proxmox ve or normal VM?

[ayufan]

I run PBS alongside Proxmox VE, so not in LXC or QEMU. LXC would not make a difference here either way.

I look always at /proc/sys/vm/block dump to see what is waking spinning disk.
