Sorry - just jumped on the end of this as I had the same problem that I was trying to diagnose....

The panel allows you to set Max Backups, but this is not reflected in the config files - I guess it should be in /etc/pve/vzdump.cron 0 22 * * * root vzdump 101 --quiet 1 --mailnotification always --mode snapshot --mailto [email protected] --compress lzo --storage USB But there is no sign of 'maxfiles' option and as this is an automatically generated file it would seem that you can't easily modify it. So I guess that the option as specified in the panel is not set correctly by the system template generator. Probably needs a bit more logic on it too. Really the Max Backups should be per VM ? What if you are backing up several and want a Max per VM and a Max Overall ? Manually hacking the vzdump.conf file seems a poor way to do it, especially as there is an option in the web panel that which does not seem to work ! B. Rgds John
