Hi @all
I'm working to change my online server and I'm looking for a backup solution for the SME Server I want to use through a Proxmox instance (KVM)
Firstable I used BackupPC with the 'smeserver-template' but after the backup/restoration to another host I couldn't validate the file system verification, probably because the UID of /dev/main/root is different.
The documentation of smeserver-backuppc doesn't cover this chapter, do I need to launch a signal-event after ?
I tried
1) signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
or
2) signal-event post-backup;signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
with the same issues....
If you have some clues :)
alternatively I would know which backup solution I could use instead of this one.
Rsync of /home/e-smith/files/users since my concern is principally for emails ????
I'm listening you ?

looking forward several solutions
a) the kvm backup script (http://repo.firewall-services.com/misc/virt/virt-backup.pl) of daniel cannot be used (as is), since proxmox doesn't use libvirt.
b) proxmox comes with a built in solution of backups, I'm testing it

I'm fond of pve-zsync myself, but it does require that your VM be on a ZFS datastore, and that the backup destination also be using ZFS. I back up my SME instance to my FreeNAS box this way.
