Hello,
I messed up my system.
Now i installed Proxmox again. All my containers and VM where on a separate disk.
I also had backups made with Proxmox backup. And those backups are also on a separate drive.
I do not have a backup of the original Proxmox system.

Is it possible to restore it all with the data i have?
I seem to not get the disks in Proxmox without deleting everything. That is the last thing I want.

I'm kind off a beginner so bear with me please.
 
The easy way is to manual mount your XFS Backup Disk, than to restore all your VMs / LXCs from the Backup.
Can you post the console output from fdisk -l?
 
it is a big list, but this is the one i want:
Disk /dev/sdl: 1.82 TiB, 2000365289472 bytes, 3906963456 sectors
Disk model: Elements 107C
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 90E5EE1D-3F19-46DA-857E-60FAC8403C93

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdl1 2048 3906963422 3906961375 1.8T Linux filesystem

so i gues i mount it with:
mount /dev/sdl1 /mnt/bu

i made the dir /mnt/bu already.
 
root@pve:/mnt/bu/lost+found# ls -alh /mnt/bu
total 44K

i think i went to fast and created it also as a driectory in proxmox.

Lost everything now?? :(

13.84 gig used.. That is not it.. :(

Need this one.

Disk /dev/sdk: 14.55 TiB, 16000867106816 bytes, 31251693568 sectors
Disk model: Elements 25A3
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 91335677-31C0-5843-9CF4-3CEC3F587B1D

is it as simple as unmount the current one and remount the new one? or do i also have to detach it in Proxmox?

Stop! Have you run a Proxmox Backup Server in past?

Code: 
drwxr-x--- 65538 backup backup 1.1M Jul 27 12:34 .chunks

Yes. These are the backups made with Proxmox Backup

The other files are on a nvme disk.
This one.
