Hi

I am just about to buy a community licens for PBS and run it in a VM to shared storage (NFS).
The idea is to test around and see how it works and then later migrate to a physical server that has both the same NFS but also a new NFS dedicated for the backups.

Is it possible to migrate config from one PBS server to another and can I also move all the backup VMs from one NFS storage to another?
 
Hi!
sure, this is possible, you just need to copy all the config file manually over to the new installation (everything in /etc/proxmox-backup/ should be enough). You can also copy the whole datastore with all the chunks from one nfs storage to the other (As you intend to use both shares as datastores, you could also add both, then run a sync job from one to the other).
