Change a hard drive from one proxmox server to anothe

[CrisR]

Hello,
I am using proxmox relatively recently. I work in the IT area and a client's server died and the backups were housed on a NAS and it took hours to restore because the virtual machines were 300gb. Is there a way to have a disk on a proxmox server to be backed up and in case the machine breaks down take the backup disk and load it on another machine with proxmox and load the content(directory with backups) ? Because it would save me a lot of time if i managed to remove the backup disk from the damaged machine and put it in another one and restore the virtual machine backup

Hi,

yes, you can do it this way.
If you need the config you can extract it from the Backups.

When all disks are fine and no HW raid is involved you can take all disks to the new server without changing anything.
