I have my proxmox backup server automated to backup. The remote disk was full and encountered an error with the backup. After restarting the proxmox backup server my datastore files are missing. I verified that the /etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg paths are correct.
I have them stored on encrypted zfs pools and checked there. The store folder, chunks, everything is gone now. Is there any way to recover these files?
Thanks?
 
Hi,

Did you see anything in the syslog related to the zfs storage? Can you also please check the output of `zpool status`

I didn't see anything weird inside the syslog related to ZFS storage. Main error is tnot being able to find_mounted_device failed. The store can't be found
Some read fs info on the store failed -ENONENT: No such file or directory.

zpool status
ONLINE
Scrub in process since this morning, no read or write, cksum or slow errors.
 
Really odd, I read somewhere and initiated zfs mount -a
it dismounted and remounted some old datasets, but it brought me back to my original datasets.
The new ones I was restoring from a backup reset to an old one though.
