Guidelines for backup and restore of proxmox VE, typically when SSD/harddisk read/write issues are frequently occuring but the proxmox host is still running and accessible

Proxmox VE – Complete Backup & Restore Plan (NVMe Failure Scenario)

This document is the single authoritative backup and restore guide for a standalone Proxmox VE host. It is written to be usable during a real failure (NVMe disk read/write issues) but with the premise that the Proxmox VE host is still running and accessible (to try to create VM backups).


1. Scope and assumptions

  • Single Proxmox VE host (no cluster)
  • Proxmox VE 8.x backups, restore onto Proxmox VE 9.1-1

Proxmox Postfix – Sender Rewrite for Alerts (Gmail Relay)

This document describes, in a fully reproducible and platform‑correct way, how the sender of locally generated emails (e.g. Proxmox alerts) is rewritten to a clean, consistent identity such as:

Proxmox <alerts@example.com>

with delivery via Gmail as smart relay (smtp.gmail.com:587).
