Hello all,
I have a question.
I make my backups on a seperate usb disk, mounted as a directory.
Is there a easy way to add that disk to another proxmox server so I can boot up the vm's on it?

If there is a guidance video or thread please let me know.
I tried to find one but I'm not using the right search terms I suppose.

Thank you in advance.
 
You could share it out with e.g. sshfs or Samba, and mount it over the network on another server where you want to restore the backups - this is exactly what I do for a shared backup directory on my Mac

On the target server where you want to restore, replace vars as needed for your environment:

Code:
loginuser=userid
bkpserver=macpro-10ga # this is where your backup usb drive is
mntpoint=/mnt/usbdrive # on the remote side
localmnt=/mnt/restore

mkdir -pv $localmnt

sshfs -o Ciphers=chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com \
 $loginuser@$bkpserver:$mntpoint $localmnt
df -hT

Then you would need to add $localmnt as a storage Directory with at least "VZDump backup file" in the dropdown to see the backups
