[SOLVED] I messed up

[MarvinE]

Please post

ls -alh /mnt/bu2/vm
ls -alh /mnt/bu2/ct

Seams Proxmox Backup Server!

1. Install PBS again
2. Mount the disk you previously used for it
3. Manually add the PBS-datastore again: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/datastore-recovery.72835/#post-325491

1. Mount the disk you previously used for it,

Mount it in data center as directory?

Seams a USB Disk ? (Elements 25A3) Faulty drive or cable?

No this does not work, you need to setup a Proxmox Backup Server VM!

i installed the backup server.
So now mount the drive into backup?
therefor i first add hardware (the usb drive) then mount the drive?

Right, than mount the drive and add the old datastore manual in datastore.cfg

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?

 

[MarvinE]

run

service proxmox-b* restart

than you should see the datastore.
Yes, for restart you have to make it persistant in /etc/fstab

 

[R0yk3]

? 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.

 

[Neobin]

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...

 

[R0yk3]

Simply recreate your previous PBS-setup again.
That would be nice..

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...

 

[R0yk3]

i mapped the drive via datacenter, then choose in proxmox backup that storage. But i have no idea how that looks in a path?

 

[MarvinE]

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

 

[R0yk3]

That is where i mad the mistake. i was not in the webgui form backup but on VE.

I found the backups.. YES Thank you.

Restoring NOW....

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. sorry for shouting..

 

[MarvinE]

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

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.

 

[MarvinE]

Yes root@pam is right! It's good for recover your VMs/CTs.

For production it is better to use API Keys with restricted access.
