LVM setup - backup/restore

[darkfyre]

Hello,

I'm looking for some guidance please.

I have 3 physical disks. I created 3 LVM VG's:

1 - System (100GB)
2 - SSD (60GB)
3 - Storage (1TB)

I have a KVM with two disks, one on SSD (50GB) and one on Storage (200GB).

I used the poxmox web interface to do a backup and this was all ok.

I then deleted the KVM completely and clicked restore. It asked me where to restore to, I selected SSD but I get an error saying I do not have enough free space.

I assume this is because both the 200gb (which should be restored to the Storage volume) and the 50gb (which rightly belongs on the ssd) are stored in one backup file and it is extracting both the disks to the same storage medium.

How can I do a restore correctly - place the disks on the storage medium they were originally backed up from, rather than trying to extract them both to SSD.

Or, if I were to just restore them both to Storage, is it possible to move the one which belongs on the SSD to it ? I am using LVM, so unsure how to go about this,

Any help or tips would be fantastic,

Thanks

That is done by default if you do not specify any storage (Not sure if that can be done on the GUI currently).

This worked perfectly using the CLI and not specifying any storage.

I feel really silly for not trying this, but thank you so much for taking the time to assist me.
