Good morning, dear friends.
I tried to restore a backup and instead of clicking the Restore button, I clicked the Remove button. I suggest that developers change the name to DELETE.
My question is, can I recover a backup that was deleted from PBS?
Thank you in advance for your help.

When deleting a backup snapshot, you will get asked for confirmation. Not sure if renaming this to delete will help much here.

This depends. Do you have the same snapshot synced to an offsite location, do you maybe have a zfs snapshot still containing the backup snapshot? Otherwise I am afraid you are out of luck, restoring a backup is only possible with it's index files.

OK, thank you for your attention, my friend.
I don't have a snapshot synchronized in an external location. I'm going to go back to an older backup.
