Move single vm backup to another datastore

[g0ha]

Hi, we have a bit single nodes of PVE, because of this some VMID crossing. I undestand that correct solution is to rename crossing VMID, but what i can do without doing that? To prevent rewrite same vmid backup on one datastore every pve have different username. But if i try to backup VM from "another" pve with tha same vmid, that already have backup i got error. I suspect, that i need to use different datastores in this case. in this regard, the question: how i can send single VM backup to nearby datastore (for offline migration purposes)? I understand, than i can make sync job to localhost, but i dont need sync all backups only 1. I try to move content of /datastore/path/vm/VMID but, as expected, got chunk missing. Rename dir /datastore/path/vm/VMID and give access to target PVE?

If I understand correctly you want to access the backups of a specific VM in a separate datastore on different Proxmox VE nodes. Then you will need to add the PBS datastore as storage on the PVE node.

Thanks for answer, i want to move single vm backup to another datastore.

That is currently not possible. But there are ideas on the list to make local sync jobs with filters.
