Hi,
After being VERY upset two days ago because of Proxmox and PBS shortcomings and sneaky traps, I have decided to rebuild my whole installation from scratch.
I am lucky enough to have installed PBS and have extensive backup saved in an external drive.
My PBS was virtualized as a qemu virtual machine on one of my 3 Proxmox nodes.

My question is:
  • Will the qcow2 image where all PBS backups are saved mount on another PBS installation?
  • Is there any recommendation or specific procedure to follow to mount the qcow2 image?
Please answer as it is my only way out of my current mess.
Best,
Stephen
