since proxmox gui/scheduling won't allow serialization of this tasks, i'm running them via cron/script # proxmox-backup-manager verify pve-t620_backup --ignore-verified true --outdated-after 30 # pvesm prune-backups pbs_pve-t620_backup --keep-daily 31 --keep-weekly 8 --keep-monthly 6 # proxmox-backup-manager garbage-collection start pve-t620_backup regards Roland Am 29.10.22 um 12:25 schrieb Hermann Himmelbauer:
Dear Proxmox users, I am currently configuring a PBS server. For the retention, I used the values from the following page: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/maintenance.html keep-last:3, keep-daily:30, keep-weekly: 8, keep-monthly: 11, keep-yearly:9 This looks like a decent retention scenario. The underlying datastore is ZFS, approx. 40TB. The backups to my PBS-Server is done at night, starting at 1:00 from a PVE-Cluster. The backup itself runs for approx. 5 hours. Working great, o.k. - now I need to configure the following tasks: - Prune - Garbage Collection - Verfiy Well, it's now really unclear to me when and how often I should do these tasks? Do I have to ensure in some way that these tasks don't overlap? Thinking in non-overlapping terms, I'd do it like this: - Prune: daily at 6:00 - GC: daily at 11:00 - Verify: daily at 15:00 Or is it better to simply do it like that: - Prune: hourly - GC: hourly - Verfiy: hourly Any hints? Best Regards, Hermann P.S.: I think it would be a great addition to the manual to put some recommendations / best practices there.
