I have a 3 node cluster on PVE 9.0.3 and yesterday one of my OS drives failed so now I am looking to restore my node. I have a spare drive but I cannot figure out how to restore my node and get it back into my cluster and syncing with Ceph. I ran a cronjob on each node backing up the entire node using the following command (with the variables defined)
Any help is greatly appreciated
proxmox-backup-client backup ${PXAR_FILE}:/ --repository ${USER}@pbs!${TOKENID}@${SERVER}:${DATASTORE} --ns ${NAMESPACE}. I can see these backups on my PBS server and they all verify. How do I restore this backup? I tried proxmox-backup-client restore host/${HOSTNAME}/2025-08-13T04:30:01Z ${HOSTNAME}.pxar /tmp/pbs --repository ${SERVER}:${DATASTORE} --ns ${NAMESPACE} and can see that the entire filesystem now resides at /tmp/pbs but Im not sure what I need to do next. Several guides then say to restart but when I tried rebooting, it just wipes /tmp/, my home directory is still empty and my storage locations configured configured on the node are not set up.Any help is greatly appreciated
