Hello
How to run NOW verification from commandline but only selected group backup from one datastore (or i future in GUI)?

I have a tens of VM, with two VM very big (3TB) with very small files (eg 10-50kB) - need to run 2 verification line (at the same time):
first: all VM's verification (with args --exclude_group vm/100, vm/200)(about 30VM ~100-150GB per VM)
second: verfication only vm/100, vm/200 (with args --exclude_group other vm) (this verification run too long - NFS over 1Gbit)
 
it's only possible to verify a whole datastore, a single group or a single snapshot at the moment
the datastore is possible with 'proxmox-backup-manager verify <DATASTORE>'

if you want to verify single snapshots/groups you either have to use the gui/api or the following command
Code:
proxmox-backup-debug api create /admin/datastore/<DATASTORE>/verify --backup-type <ct/vm/host> --backup-id <GROUP> [--backup-time <SNAPSHOT-TIME>]

if that is not enough for you, you can open a feature request for more options for the verify here:

OMG, thanks for very fast response for help me :) This is enought. I forgot about api.
With this command I created list of group (with exclude 100 and 200) and with your command run verify with bash loop
Code:
proxmox-backup-debug api get /admin/datastore/pbs/groups  --output-format json-pretty |grep  "backup-id" | awk -F '"' '{print $4}' | sort | grep -vE '100|200'
