BAckup VM from Proxmox 6.x to new Proxmox 7.1.2

[klagio]

Hi, I had 3 VM using in Proxmox 6.2.4 with an Intel NUC.
One of the VM I had problem with so I deleted it, the two other VM where fine so I made a backup

I have now 2 VM file of the backup generated in proxmox 6.2.4 on my desktop PC
vzdump-qemu-104-2021_12_11-11_27_26.vma.zst
vzdump-qemu-103-2021_12_11-11_16_31.vma.zst

I also saved the contect of the proxmox 6.2.4 /etc/pve on my desktop PC

Now on my Intel NUC I made a fresh installation of Proxmox 7.1.2, I installed my first VM fresh (no needed to restore it).

Now I wish to restore the two other VM for which I have the backup file.

Can you help me doing it?

to make Proxmox VE aware of the backups, you have to place them in a storage it knows about. If you have enough space in /var/lib/vz/dump you can place them there (they should show up in the local storage then). Otherwise you'll need to configure a different storage which supports file-based backups (e.g. Directory/NFS/CIFS/...) and place them in the respective dump directory.

After you've done that, simply select the storage, go to Backup and restore the VMs.
