Hello,
I have several PROXMOX Servers and I would like to make backup of all VM to single Proxmox Backup Server with a single datastore.

The problem is that the VM IDs of each VM are duplicated on another server.

I know I can change VM id's - but it's not an easy task. I can also create on Proxmox backup separate datastores for each server.
Do you know other solutions ?

I'm using Backup Server 3.2-2.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin
 
This might help in the long run as well.
You can set each cluster (or standalone server) to a specific VMID range.
Namespaces can be necessary in some scenarios, but its just easier if your VMs have unique IDs across your enterprise, and there's a straightforward way to make that happen.

Thanks for info, but I currently I don't have cluster.
As far I know cluster is not available if I have different version of Proxmox on each server.
