Import disks into new pbs?

[Fred Saunier]

Hello,

Is it possible to import existing storage disks into a new pbs install?

I have had a crash on my existing pbs (vm in a ceph environment). I can create a new pbs vm and give it the virtual drives storing all the backup data. How do I then import those data into the new pbs instance?

Thanks,
Fred

I now have access to the storages, by declaring them in /etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg.

I suspect some disks are flawed to some degree, as the pbs is having a difficult time reading their contents.

However, through command line, I can browse to /mnt/storage/vm/3004. Is there a way to manually extract its contents through command line?

Thanks,
F.

I have now created a new virtual disk, where I have sent a copy of /mnt/storage/vm/3004.

How can I identify the correct chunks that also need to be copied (the underlying data) ?

Thanks,
F.
