If I have a VM that has two disks on different datastores (one very large) and they are both included in the backups, will restoring it on another Proxmox server with the same storage configuration be possible? can a restore support placing the large vm disk on the secondary larger datastore?

In other words...

VM has boot drive on a small nvme datastore, and a data drive on a large sata datastore. I need to move this VM to another proxmox server with the same datastore configuration. Can I just do a regular backup/restore? or will I have to move the large disk manually?

Thanks
