Verifcation and Restore is failing

[staypo]

Hi,

I'm completely new to this topic and in general i've no idea what am i doing.
I have a PVE 9.1.19 running and a deticated Pi5 with PBS 4.2.0.
I installed PBS via this https://github.com/dexogen/pipbs

On top I have a Synology and attached it via iSCASI to the PBS via this https://www.derekseaman.com/2025/08...-lun-for-proxmox-backup-server-datastore.html

I was able to successfully create backup of my VM/PBX etc, but I'm not able to verify/ restore them.

I can see that the mnt has permission set to backup:backup but I never created this user. I changed it to root:root but still cant work with it.

I happy to provide any logs.

Can someone please help me.

This is not an official version from PBS. ARM is not officially supported by Proxmox. Therefore, it would be better you contact the developers directly via the GitHub repository. https://github.com/dexogen/pipbs/issues They might be able to help you.

I recommend downloading and installing Proxmox Backup Server and Proxmox VE directly from here:
https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads

I setup the PBS as a VM with the official repos and I have the exact same behaviour

A VM is definitely fine for testing, but for production use, you should install PBS on physical hardware with fast physical datastore. Please also check the system requirements.

From what I can read, are you using a Synology as backup storage? What protocol is the storage connected via? NFS, CIFS?
If so, please post the output of mount and the contents of fstab:

cat /etc/fstab

Also post the rights of the mountpoint:

ls -ld /mnt/synology

What do you see in the logs at this time on your PBS?
