Hi, vma backup only work on running vm (attached disk), so no, it's not possible currently.
Currently, I'm doing ceph backup to another remote ceph backup cluster with custom script * Start * guest-fs-freeze * rbd snap $image@vzdump_$timstamp * guest-fs-thaw * rbd export $image@vzdump_$timstamp | rbd import .... .... works very fine. (with incremental backup) I'll try to put my code on github soon. (I have a nice gui/cli too, to restore a full vm, or some files inside the backup) ----- Mail original ----- De: "Mark Schouten" <[email protected]> À: "proxmoxve" <[email protected]> Envoyé: Mardi 28 Août 2018 16:27:42 Objet: [PVE-User] VZDump and Ceph Snapshots Hi, I'm currently using vzdump with the snapshot method to periodically generate vma-files for disasterrecovery. vzdump in snapshot mode instructs Qemu to start backing up the disk to a specific location, and while doing so, VM users can suffer poor performance. We run practically all VMs on Ceph storage, which has snapshot functionality. Would it be feasable to alter VZDump to use the following flow: * Start * guest-fs-freeze * rbd snap $image@vzdump_$timstamp * guest-fs-thaw * qemu-img convert -O raw rbd:$image@vzdump_$timstamp $tmpdir * vma create * rbd snap rm $image@vzdump_$timstamp * Done Regards, -- Kerio Operator in de Cloud? https://www.kerioindecloud.nl/ Mark Schouten | Tuxis Internet Engineering KvK: 61527076 | http://www.tuxis.nl/ T: 0318 200208 | [email protected] _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
