version 6.3 compatible? about pve-patches

[dkmn-123]

Me too...

[ayufan]

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.

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.
