[SOLVED] How to rename pbs Backup Target Name

mohnewald · Aug 18, 2021

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:

Code:

$ 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
