[SOLVED] How to restore vm to different Proxmox Cluster?

[lazypaul]

I have 2 cluster, using the same PBS to backup everyday, here is my question:
1. Why only see one snapshot?

root@pbsg8:~# proxmox-backup-client snapshots --repository 10.0.142.0bs-data-g8 ┌─────────────────────────────┬───────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ snapshot │ size │ files │ ╞═════════════════════════════╪═══════════════╪════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ │ vm/200/2020-08-31T08:44:53Z │ 434865439468 │ client.log drive-ide0.img index.json qemu-server.conf │ ├─────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ vm/201/2020-08-31T08:44:53Z │ 220117074814 │ client.log drive-virtio0.img index.json qemu-server.conf │ ├─────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ vm/202/2020-08-31T08:44:53Z │ 220117074567 │ client.log drive-virtio0.img index.json qemu-server.conf │ ├─────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ vm/203/2020-08-31T08:44:53Z │ 220117074583 │ client.log drive-virtio0.img index.json qemu-server.conf │ ├─────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ vm/205/2020-08-31T08:44:53Z │ 215822107451 │ client.log drive-virtio0.img index.json qemu-server.conf │ ├─────────────────────────────┼───────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ vm/206/2020-08-31T08:44:53Z │ 1529008358368 │ client.log drive-virtio0.img drive-virtio1.img index.json qemu-server.conf │ └─────────────────────────────┴───────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ root@pbsg8:~#

I had figure out , add pbs to another cluster, then can see the backup file, choose one to restore. It works.

Hi @lazypaul can you tell me how you added PBS to the other cluster? I can't work out how to restore a VM even on the same cluster.
Thanks!

Hi,

Hi @lazypaul can you tell me how you added PBS to the other cluster? I can't work out how to restore a VM even on the same cluster.
Thanks!

just add the PBS storage in the same way you added it to the first cluster (e.g. you can use Datacenter > Storage > Add > Proxmox Backup Server). To restore a VM, in the GUI, select the storage and go to Backups, or in the CLI, use qmrestore <PBS storage ID>:backup/vm/<snapshot> <new vm ID>.
