[SOLVED] Change of the name of a saved machine (by proxmox backup client)

[cryonie]

Hello,

I'm backuping my OMV data manually (using proxmox backup client on the OMV machine) since some times (late 2021).
One day, the name of my backup changed in PBS :



I didn't change the command line at all since 2021 :

proxmox-backup-client backup photos.pxar:/srv/my_directory virginie.pxar:/srv/other_directory --exclude .recycle | tee /home/user/backup_pbs-`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M`.log

I don't remember changing the name of the machine ... and the name itself is not in the command line. So i don't really know why it changed ... but in the end that's not what i'm lookig for
My question is ... is there a way to move back all those saves together in only one save group ? (the "omv" one since that's what PBS inderstand now) ?

Thank you

Hey,

in essence, a snapshot is just a sub-directory in the datastore, containing blob/didx/fidx files. You can simply move/copy all directories from host/OMV to host/omv, then the snapshots should show up in the host/omv group in the GUI.

For example, if your datastore is located at /store, simply copy all subdirs from /store/host/OMV to /store/host/omv.

Hope this helps.

Ok it seems so easy like this.
Didn't think of looking in the OMV / omv directory.

I moved all files and now everything is in the same group. Great.

I'll wait tomorrow to see if all the saves rearrange well regarding my retention (i should have at max 38 backups regarding my config and now i have 58 )

Thanks for your help

Cool, after last backup, everything is back to normal (retention took place and deleted what had to be deleted)


Thanks again for your help
