    Temporary migration between (old) servers

    I'm using ZFS in both. Yes, backup/restore could be good, but the backup feature only backups to a local storage and i don't have free space to hold a full backup

    Temporary migration between (old) servers

    Migrate VMs between standalone PVE hosts

    Is possible to do this in one step ? Something like newhost$ vmbackup oldhost 111 | vmrestore Just to avoid to backup hundreds of GB locally and the restore hundreds of GB to the new host (a lot of hours needed as this is a 2 step operation via network)
