@RobFantini
Didn't you just give me instructions on how to do that?
Or do you mean, how do you connect an existing store to a PBS Server?
I followed your instructions, but I eventually crashed all my VMs with an I/O error probably since I exceeded my VM Drive space.
I had to clean things up and add the drives back and attach the existing datbase to my PBS Server.
So I did as you suggested/
I had datastore store1
But it wasn't showing in my PBS Server with some errors.
I had errors for datastore 1, 2 and 3.
Anyways. I also deleted my datastore using proxmox-backup-manager datastore remove but couldn't link it back.
So I made sure my store1 was renamed to store1-old or something.
I created a new datastore store 1.
After that I rm -r /backup/disk1/store1
and then mv /backup/disk1/store1-old/ /backup/disk1/store1
After doing that it showed up in my PBS Server.
I was missing my store2 as well, so I did the same thing to make the store2 reappear.
I have not backed up my vm yet, but will this evening as the office closes for the night.
It seems to work, but I have not tested it out yet.
If this isn't what you are looking for, perhaps more details would assist in finding the correct answer.
Take care and thank you again.
Sorry I just looked at it again and saw the details about the existing chunks.
I think I created a new store and deleted everything inside it, then changed the existing store name to match the new one that I created.
If you have the option, I guess you could also create a store which matched the name of your existing one, which is one lest step of having to rename it...
My existing backup from a couple weeks ago has started now, but it's still in its infancy stage so I'll report if it goes through properly.
