Is it possible to use a usb drive to move CT's from a Proxmox 6.4-14 to a 7.1-12 version cluster via usb? I have tried it locally but the usb drive does not show the backups in the web interface on the 7.1-12 cluster. Though you can see the files in the cli on the server it is connected to.

Clusters are in different locations and it would take to long to move them via the internet. Just want to drive them over.
 
just to note, yes this is possible.
* mount your usb drive
* add it as storage in pve
* make your backups
* unmount and move the drive to the new cluster
* mount it there
* add as storage
* restore
 
I gave up because when I restored the CT's it crashed the server. Also every time I reboot my servers the built in nic's go offline.
