[SOLVED] I messed up

  1. Mount the disk you previously used for it,
Mount it in data center as directory?

i installed the backup server.
So now mount the drive into backup?
therefor i first add hardware (the usb drive) then mount the drive?
 
i wrote to the
/etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg

datastore: backup
path /mnt/bu

Nothing happens?
i i restart i loose the mount off course. make it persistant?
 
? nothing.. :(
made the drive pers. after reboot proxmox backup i stil cannot see any backup.

If i choose backup in the gui, i cannot change drive. i only see local.
 
Log into your PBS-GUI and see if your datastore and the backups are there.
If yes, add the PBS as a storage to your PVE again.

You had PBS already in use; so you should know how your setup looked like and how exactly you accomplished it before, no?
Simply recreate your previous PBS-setup again...

That would be nice.. :D

i will try somethings.

Until where i have to type the path?
/mnt/bu <-- cannot see anthing
/mnt/bu/ct <-- nothing
/mnt/bu/ct/111 <-- nothing

Grrr. :( Thanks for all your patience.. Still nothing...
 
i mapped the drive via datacenter, then choose in proxmox backup that storage. But i have no idea how that looks in a path?
 
When there is the folder structure than you are good, thats only meta data... The data from PBS is stored in .chunks folder.
Do not delete or edit anything there! -> That will destroy your datastore.

You have to see if the PBS VM can access this added store. Do this from the WEB GUI https://<pbs vm ip>:8007

That looks good, you have to add the Proxmox Backup Server in the PVE https://<ip>:8006 GUI

Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> Proxmox Backup Server

Enter IP and the storage name...
User and Password for now use root...
The Fingerprint you can found on the PBS WebGUI (8007) Dashboard

Click to expand...
got a little stuck with the user... it is root@pam...
So now i can mount the original disk where all vm and CT are. wipe it and restore.
