Previous PBS server version: 3.0 before crash
current PBS server version: 3.1-4 reinstalled using

I am trying to mount an existing data store after a fresh install of PBS but the backups are not showing up in PBS.

I am running PBS as a VM on unraid and the data store on the same unraid machine as an unraid share. I had to reinstall PBS on unraid from scratch. There was no backup of the pbs config so all configuration had to be put in from memory which I am sure is not exact from the previous install. I added the pbs backup data store to the PBS server in two different methods. 1. as a network share and 2. as a mounted shared via the VM. Both data stores show up on PBS but none of the backups show up. I tried using the methods refrenced here datastore recovery thread, I am not getting any errors just the backups are not showing up. One thing that I notice is the free space showing on both data stores reflects the disk size I gave the VM when I created it for the PBS OS drive, not the remaining size of the share. Below are some screen shots of my config.

How the data store shows from the gui, both data stores are the same.

This is how I mapped the unraid share in the unraid VM, so the share is local to the machine I just passed it to the VM. I did not create a VM disk for the VM backups i just passed the share from the host machine.

Hope this isn't confusing.
