I was writing a guide on how to manually update Proxmox and whether there is a way to check whether a reboot is required.
AI suggested using
ls /run/reboot-required
to check if a reboot is needed after apt dist-upgrade. On my test, three kernel packages were installed, but the file was not created. Has anyone actually seen this file appear on Proxmox after a kernel update?
Hi All,
Has someone tested the new backup & sync feature in ASE Pro? It's a new feature.
I was reading about it, and I found that the sync features could be very useful for keeping a staging site in sync with the production site.
Does Sync offer something special that other plugins like WPvivid don't have?
I run PBS on a $150 fanless mini-PC backing up 21 VMs and 2 containers to a Synology NAS. Dedup factor 25x, 1.77TB used.
The guide covers setup, installation, verification, and pruning jobs, retention policy gotchas, PBS vs Veeam, and my full homelab setup with screenshots.
Some of you helped me last week when I posted about my 8.5-hour verify times on NFS. Based on your feedback, I bought a Lexar SL300 USB SSD and set it up as a second datastore. Full verify dropped from 8h 35m to 1h 54m. Daily verification with Skip Verified now takes 2 seconds.
Hi,
I'm looking at the FortiGate product matrix, which my reseller sent me. I see that G is out for most Firewall series, but not for the 60 series.
Any idea when the 60G is coming out?
I have a client with a Forti 60E, which reaches end of life in July. I was told the 50G could be a good replacement.
I have some concerns about the 50G throughput at 5Gbps vs 10Gbps. But I see the 50G has better throughput for thread protection.
I run Proxmox Backup Server bare metal on an XCY mini-PC (Celeron J4125, 8GB RAM). Backup storage is a Synology NAS mounted via NFS over a gigabit.
Setup: 21 VMs, 2 containers, 243 snapshots, 1.77TB used, dedup factor 25x.
Verify job runs daily at 9am with Skip Verified enabled (re-verify after 30 days). Out of 243 snapshots, 218 get skipped. Only 25 are actually checked. But those 25 include several large VMs (100-400GB), so PBS reads about 855GB from NFS every run. Takes 8.5 hours at 20-35 MiB/s.
Currently using 1 read thread, 4 verify threads. Planning to try 2 read threads tomorrow.
Anyone running PBS with NFS-backed storage seeing similar verify times? Is there anything else I can tune, or is this just the reality of verifying large VMs over gigabit NFS?
Hi - I'm new to this world of webcam.
A client bought 10 Tapo cameras. My first question is: can I only use a mobile phone to set them up? I think the Tapo app uses Bluetooth to find the camera during initial setup. Right?
I'm curious to know what exactly the difference is between QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and QuickBooks Desktop Premier Plus.
Thanks!
I received an email from NameHero today. I'm a former customer.
They are now offering unmanaged VPS for very competitive prices.

Hi,
How do I need to customize the default SSL inspection security profile to make it work with the HSTS protocol?
I'm talking about a FortiGate 61E with 7.2.12 installed.
Someone mentioned here in an old post to turn off "deep scan", but I noticed deep scan is not enabled in the default SSL inspection.
I still love QuickBooks Desktop and have been using it for over 25 years. I keep all my clients' bookkeeping data in it, which is great for reference.

Yesterday I received an email about the upcoming price increase. It's hard to digest it!
