Tape Backup
===========
.. CAUTION:: Tape Backup is a technical preview feature, not meant for
production usage. To enable the GUI, you need to issue the
following command (as root user on the console)::
# touch /etc/proxmox-backup/tape.cfg
Proxmox tape backup provides an easy way to store datastore content
onto magnetic tapes. This increases data safety because you get:
- an additional copy of the data
- to a different media type (tape)
- to an additional location (you can move tapes off-site)
In most restore jobs, only data from the last backup job is restored.
Restore requests further decline the older the data
gets. Considering this, tape backup may also help to reduce disk
usage, because you can safely remove data from disk once archived on
tape. This is especially true if you need to keep data for several
years.
Tape backups do not provide random access to the stored data. Instead,
you need to restore the data to disk before you can access it
again. Also, if you store your tapes off-site (using some kind of tape
vaulting service), you need to bring them on-site before you can do any
restore. So please consider that restores from tapes can take much
longer than restores from disk.
Tape Technology Primer
----------------------
.. _Linear Tape Open: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open
As of 2021, the only broadly available tape technology standard is
`Linear Tape Open`_, and different vendors offers LTO Ultrium tape
drives, auto-loaders and LTO tape cartridges.
There are a few vendors offering proprietary drives with
slight advantages in performance and capacity, but they have
significant disadvantages:
- proprietary (single vendor)
- a much higher purchase cost
So we currently do not test such drives.
In general, LTO tapes offer the following advantages:
- Durable (30 years)
- High Capacity (12 TB)
- Relatively low cost per TB
- Cold Media
- Movable (storable inside vault)
- Multiple vendors (for both media and drives)
- Build in AES-CGM Encryption engine
Note that `Proxmox Backup Server` already stores compressed data, so using the
tape compression feature has no advantage.
Supported Hardware
------------------
Proxmox Backup Server supports `Linear Tape Open`_ generation 4 (LTO4)
or later. In general, all SCSI2 tape drives supported by the Linux
kernel should work, but feature like hardware encryptions needs LTO4
or later.
Tape changer support is done using the Linux 'mtx' command line
tool. So any changer device supported by that tool should work.
Drive Performance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Current LTO-8 tapes provide read/write speeds up to 360 MB/s. This means,
that it still takes a minimum of 9 hours to completely write or
read a single tape (even at maximum speed).
The only way to speed up that data rate is to use more than one
drive. That way you can run several backup jobs in parallel, or run
restore jobs while the other dives are used for backups.
Also consider that you need to read data first from your datastore
(disk). But a single spinning disk is unable to deliver data at this
rate. We measured a maximum rate of about 60MB/s to 100MB/s in practice,
so it takes 33 hours to read 12TB to fill up an LTO-8 tape. If you want
to run your tape at full speed, please make sure that the source
datastore is able to deliver that performance (e.g, by using SSDs).
Terminology
-----------
:Tape Labels: are used to uniquely identify a tape. You normally use
some sticky paper labels and apply them on the front of the
cartridge. We additionally store the label text magnetically on the
tape (first file on tape).
.. _Code 39: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39
.. _LTO Ultrium Cartridge Label Specification: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-lto-ultrium-cartridge-label-specification
.. _LTO Barcode Generator: lto-barcode/index.html
:Barcodes: are a special form of tape labels, which are electronically
readable. Most LTO tape robots use an 8 character string encoded as
`Code 39`_, as defined in the `LTO Ultrium Cartridge Label
Specification`_.
You can either buy such barcode labels from your cartridge vendor,
or print them yourself. You can use our `LTO Barcode Generator`_ App
for that.
.. Note:: Physical labels and the associated adhesive shall have an
environmental performance to match or exceed the environmental
specifications of the cartridge to which it is applied.
:Media Pools: A media pool is a logical container for tapes. A backup
job targets one media pool, so a job only uses tapes from that
pool. The pool additionally defines how long a backup job can
append data to tapes (allocation policy) and how long you want to
keep the data (retention policy).
:Media Set: A group of continuously written tapes (all from the same
media pool).
:Tape drive: The device used to read and write data to the tape. There
are standalone drives, but drives often ship within tape libraries.
:Tape changer: A device which can change the tapes inside a tape drive
(tape robot). They are usually part of a tape library.
.. _Tape Library: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_library
:`Tape library`_: A storage device that contains one or more tape drives,
a number of slots to hold tape cartridges, a barcode reader to
identify tape cartridges and an automated method for loading tapes
(a robot).
This is also commonly known as 'autoloader', 'tape robot' or 'tape jukebox'.
:Inventory: The inventory stores the list of known tapes (with
additional status information).
:Catalog: A media catalog stores information about the media content.
Tape Quickstart
---------------
1. Configure your tape hardware (drives and changers)
2. Configure one or more media pools
3. Label your tape cartridges.
4. Start your first tape backup job ...
Configuration
-------------
Please note that you can configure anything using the graphical user
interface or the command line interface. Both methods results in the
same configuration.
Tape changers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tape changers (robots) are part of a `Tape Library`_. You can skip
this step if you are using a standalone drive.
Linux is able to auto detect those devices, and you can get a list
of available devices using::
# proxmox-tape changer scan
┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────┬──────────────┬────────┐
│ path │ vendor │ model │ serial │
╞═════════════════════════════╪═════════╪══════════════╪════════╡
│ /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-CC2C52 │ Quantum │ Superloader3 │ CC2C52 │
└─────────────────────────────┴─────────┴──────────────┴────────┘
In order to use that device with Proxmox, you need to create a
configuration entry::
# proxmox-tape changer create sl3 --path /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-CC2C52
Where ``sl3`` is an arbitrary name you can choose.
.. Note:: Please use stable device path names from inside
``/dev/tape/by-id/``. Names like ``/dev/sg0`` may point to a
different device after reboot, and that is not what you want.
You can show the final configuration with::
# proxmox-tape changer config sl3
┌──────┬─────────────────────────────┐
│ Name │ Value │
╞══════╪═════════════════════════════╡
│ name │ sl3 │
├──────┼─────────────────────────────┤
│ path │ /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-CC2C52 │
└──────┴─────────────────────────────┘
Or simply list all configured changer devices::
# proxmox-tape changer list
┌──────┬─────────────────────────────┬─────────┬──────────────┬────────────┐
│ name │ path │ vendor │ model │ serial │
╞══════╪═════════════════════════════╪═════════╪══════════════╪════════════╡

└──────┴─────────────────────────────┴─────────┴──────────────┴────────────┘
The Vendor, Model and Serial number are auto detected, but only shown
if the device is online.
To test your setup, please query the status of the changer device with::
# proxmox-tape changer status sl3
┌───────────────┬──────────┬────────────┬─────────────┐

│ ... │ ... │ │ │
├───────────────┼──────────┼────────────┼─────────────┤
│ slot │ 16 │ │ │
└───────────────┴──────────┴────────────┴─────────────┘
Tape libraries usually provide some special import/export slots (also
called "mail slots"). Tapes inside those slots are accessible from
outside, making it easy to add/remove tapes to/from the library. Those
tapes are considered to be "offline", so backup jobs will not use
them. Those special slots are auto-detected and marked as
``import-export`` slot in the status command.
It's worth noting that some of the smaller tape libraries don't have
such slots. While they have something called "Mail Slot", that slot
is just a way to grab the tape from the gripper. But they are unable
to hold media while the robot does other things. They also do not
expose that "Mail Slot" over the SCSI interface, so you wont see them in
the status output.
As a workaround, you can mark some of the normal slots as export
slot. The software treats those slots like real ``import-export``
slots, and the media inside those slots is considered to be 'offline'
(not available for backup)::
# proxmox-tape changer update sl3 --export-slots 15,16
After that, you can see those artificial ``import-export`` slots in
the status output::
# proxmox-tape changer status sl3

Tape drives
~~~~~~~~~~~
Linux is able to auto detect tape drives, and you can get a list
of available tape drives using::
# proxmox-tape drive scan
┌────────────────────────────────┬────────┬─────────────┬────────┐
│ path │ vendor │ model │ serial │

└────────────────────────────────┴────────┴─────────────┴────────┘
In order to use that drive with Proxmox, you need to create a
configuration entry::
# proxmox-tape drive create mydrive --path /dev/tape/by-id/scsi-12345-nst
.. Note:: Please use stable device path names from inside
``/dev/tape/by-id/``. Names like ``/dev/nst0`` may point to a
different device after reboot, and that is not what you want.
If you have a tape library, you also need to set the associated
changer device::
# proxmox-tape drive update mydrive --changer sl3 --changer-drivenum 0
The ``--changer-drivenum`` is only necessary if the tape library
includes more than one drive (The changer status command lists all
drive numbers).
You can show the final configuration with::
# proxmox-tape drive config mydrive
┌─────────┬────────────────────────────────┐

└─────────┴────────────────────────────────┘
.. NOTE:: The ``changer-drivenum`` value 0 is not stored in the
configuration, because that is the default.
To list all configured drives use::
# proxmox-tape drive list

For testing, you can simply query the drive status with::
# proxmox-tape status --drive mydrive

.. NOTE:: Blocksize should always be 0 (variable block size
mode). This is the default anyways.
Media Pools
~~~~~~~~~~~
A media pool is a logical container for tapes. A backup job targets
one media pool, so a job only uses tapes from that pool.
.. topic:: Media Set
A media set is a group of continuously written tapes, used to split
the larger pool into smaller, restorable units. One or more backup
jobs write to a media set, producing an ordered group of
tapes. Media sets are identified by an unique ID. That ID and the
sequence number is stored on each tape of that set (tape label).
Media sets are the basic unit for restore tasks, i.e. you need all
tapes in the set to restore the media set content. Data is fully
deduplicated inside a media set.
.. topic:: Media Set Allocation Policy
The pool additionally defines how long backup jobs can append data
to a media set. The following settings are possible:
- Try to use the current media set.
This setting produce one large media set. While this is very
space efficient (deduplication, no unused space), it can lead to
long restore times, because restore jobs needs to read all tapes in the
set.
.. NOTE:: Data is fully deduplicated inside a media set. That
also means that data is randomly distributed over the tapes in
the set. So even if you restore a single VM, this may have to
read data from all tapes inside the media set.
Larger media sets are also more error prone, because a single
damaged media makes the restore fail.
Usage scenario: Mostly used with tape libraries, and you manually
trigger new set creation by running a backup job with the
``--export`` option.
.. NOTE:: Retention period starts with the existence of a newer
media set.
- Always create a new media set.
With this setting each backup job creates a new media set. This
is less space efficient, because the last media from the last set
may not be fully written, leaving the remaining space unused.
The advantage is that this procudes media sets of minimal
size. Small set are easier to handle, you can move sets to an
off-site vault, and restore is much faster.
.. NOTE:: Retention period starts with the creation time of the
media set.
- Create a new set when the specified Calendar Event triggers.
.. _systemd.time manpage: https://manpages.debian.org/buster/systemd/systemd.time.7.en.html
This allows you to specify points in time by using systemd like
Calendar Event specifications (see `systemd.time manpage`_).
For example, the value ``weekly`` (or ``Mon *-*-* 00:00:00``)
will create a new set each week.
This balances between space efficiency and media count.
.. NOTE:: Retention period starts when the calendar event
triggers.
Additionally, the following events may allocate a new media set:
- Required tape is offline (and you use a tape library).
- Current set contains damaged of retired tapes.
- Media pool encryption changed
- Database consistency errors, e.g. if the inventory does not
contain required media info, or contain conflicting infos
(outdated data).
.. topic:: Retention Policy
Defines how long we want to keep the data.
- Always overwrite media.
- Protect data for the duration specified.
We use systemd like time spans to specify durations, e.g. ``2
weeks`` (see `systemd.time manpage`_).
- Never overwrite data.
.. topic:: Hardware Encryption
LTO4 (or later) tape drives support hardware encryption. If you
configure the media pool to use encryption, all data written to the
tapes is encrypted using the configured key.
That way, unauthorized users cannot read data from the media,
e.g. if you loose a media while shipping to an offsite location.
.. Note:: If the backup client also encrypts data, data on tape
will be double encrypted.
The password protected key is stored on each media, so it is
possbible to `restore the key <restore_encryption_key_>`_ using the password. Please make sure
you remember the password in case you need to restore the key.
.. NOTE:: FIXME: Add note about global content namespace. (We do not store
the source datastore, so it is impossible to distinguish
store1:/vm/100 from store2:/vm/100. Please use different media
pools if the source is from a different name space)
The following command creates a new media pool::
// proxmox-tape pool create <name> --drive <string> [OPTIONS]
# proxmox-tape pool create daily --drive mydrive
Additional option can be set later using the update command::
# proxmox-tape pool update daily --allocation daily --retention 7days
To list all configured pools use::
# proxmox-tape pool list

Tape Jobs
~~~~~~~~~
Administration
--------------
Many sub-command of the ``proxmox-tape`` command line tools take a
parameter called ``--drive``, which specifies the tape drive you want
to work on. For convenience, you can set that in an environment
variable::
# export PROXMOX_TAPE_DRIVE=mydrive
You can then omit the ``--drive`` parameter from the command. If the
drive has an associated changer device, you may also omit the changer
parameter from commands that needs a changer device, for example::
# proxmox-tape changer status
Should displays the changer status of the changer device associated with
drive ``mydrive``.
Label Tapes
~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, tape cartidges all looks the same, so you need to put a
label on them for unique identification. So first, put a sticky paper
label with some human readable text on the cartridge.
If you use a `Tape Library`_, you should use an 8 character string
encoded as `Code 39`_, as definded in the `LTO Ultrium Cartridge Label
Specification`_. You can either bye such barcode labels from your
cartidge vendor, or print them yourself. You can use our `LTO Barcode
Generator`_ App for that.
Next, you need to write that same label text to the tape, so that the
software can uniquely identify the tape too.
For a standalone drive, manually insert the new tape cartidge into the
drive and run::
# proxmox-tape label --changer-id <label-text> [--pool <pool-name>]
You may omit the ``--pool`` argument to allow the tape to be used by any pool.
.. Note:: For safety reasons, this command fails if the tape contain
any data. If you want to overwrite it anyway, erase the tape first.
You can verify success by reading back the label::
# proxmox-tape read-label

.. NOTE:: The ``media-set-uuid`` using all zeros indicates an empty
tape (not used by any media set).
If you have a tape library, apply the sticky barcode label to the tape
cartridges first. Then load those empty tapes into the library. You
can then label all unlabeled tapes with a single command::
# proxmox-tape barcode-label [--pool <pool-name>]
Run Tape Backups
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To manually run a backup job use::
# proxmox-tape backup <store> <pool> [OPTIONS]
The following options are available:
--eject-media Eject media upon job completion.
It is normally good practice to eject the tape after use. This unmounts the
tape from the drive and prevents the tape from getting dirty with dust.
--export-media-set Export media set upon job completion.
After a successful backup job, this moves all tapes from the used
media set into import-export slots. The operator can then pick up
those tapes and move them to a media vault.
Restore from Tape
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Restore is done at media-set granularity, so you first need to find
out which media set contains the data you want to restore. This
information is stored in the media catalog. If you do not have media
catalogs, you need to restore them first. Please note that you need
the catalog to find your data, but restoring a complete media-set does
not need media catalogs.
The following command shows the media content (from catalog)::
# proxmox-tape media content

Restoring Encryption Keys
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can restore the encryption key from the tape, using the password
used to generate the key. First, load the tape you want to restore
into the drive. Then run::
# proxmox-tape key restore
Tepe Encryption Key Password: ***********
If the password is correct, the key will get imported to the
database. Further restore jobs automatically use any available key.
Tape Cleaning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LTO tape drives requires regular cleaning. This is done by loading a
cleaning cartridge into the drive, which is a manual task for
standalone drives.
For tape libraries, cleaning cartridges are identified using special
labels starting with letters "CLN". For example, our tape library has a
cleaning cartridge inside slot 3::
# proxmox-tape changer status sl3
┌───────────────┬──────────┬────────────┬─────────────┐
│ entry-kind │ entry-id │ changer-id │ loaded-slot │

│ ... │ ... │ │ │
└───────────────┴──────────┴────────────┴─────────────┘
To initiate a cleaning operation simply run::
# proxmox-tape clean
This command does the following:
- find the cleaning tape (in slot 3)
- unload the current media from the drive (back to slot1)
- load the cleaning tape into the drive
- run drive cleaning operation
- unload the cleaning tape (to slot 3)
