I have a three server cluster that currently runs our primary application server and will be running additional servers over time. All servers are on the same rack/switch on 10Gbps ports + dedicated Corosync network via dedicated and isolated switch We have HA setup, Veeam running nightly backups, and PBS running hourly backups during business hours. So far so good, but I don't have the ability to test restore without actually restoring the production server.
Potential complication: Our application server is running from shared storage in the form of NvME media from a NAS also 10Gbps port.
Currently, I'm considering setting up a single node PVE outside the cluster to restore to via both Veeam and PBS, but I'm not sure if I can restore the full server to a single node without the shared storage. Looking for advice on a setup that would allow me to restore and test the application server backups on a system completely separate from our production cluster.
