[SOLVED] How to rename pbs Backup Target Name

[mohnewald]

Hello,

how can i rename my backup target? It started as a test but is now live

Content: /etc/pve/storage.cfg

pbs: proxmox-backup-test datastore Backup-Cluster5a server 10.10.50.200 content backup ....


When i change it to "pbs: proxmox-backup" in /etc/pve/storage.cfg the backups wont show up/load

Thanks,
Mario

hi,

you also need to change the name of the password file to the matching name:

$ cd /etc/pve
$ vim storage.cfg # change name to 'proxmox-backup'
$ mv priv/storage/proxmox-backup-test.pw priv/storage/proxmox-backup.pw

and it should work again

When I saw your comment I thought: 'Surely he/she/they/it must be joking, but nope... It appears password are indeed stored in plain text!
