[SOLVED] Backup via NFS: Cannot see backups on filesystem

[tecbill]

Moving from VMware vSphere to Proxmox, I'm quite new to all of this, so please have mercy, I am still learning.

I've just set up a brand new Proxmox backup server and created an NFS backup repository pointing to my Synology NAS, mounting it automatically via /etc/fstab like this:

10.3.1.2:/volume1/NetBackup/Proxmox/Backups/pbs01 /mnt/synology01Backups nfs vers=4.1,nouser,atime,auto,retrans=2,rw,dev,exec 0 0

After a system reboot, the NFS share is mounted successfully as the following test works flawlessly:

touch /mnt/synology01Backups/test

The file is being created successfully:


So far, so good.

Then I created the according backup repository on the backup server successfully:


Then I added the repository successfully as storage to the PVE cluster:


Then I took a test backup of a random VM with the accoring backup target, which also seemed to work successfully:



The backup shows up successfully on the backup server:



But when I have a look on the filesystem, nothing is there:


Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks!

Did you create the datastore on the correct backing path? Please share the output of proxmox-backup-manager datastore list as executed on the PBS.

@Chris That was it. I simply re-added the whole repo again and I must have messed up with the backing path somehow.
Issue solved, apologies for asking such a dumb question before trying again.
