Hello all! This might just be low hanging fruit to you guys, but can you show me which is the best way to backup data? I want to move all my VMs to the new PVE server. Thanks a lot.
 
hi,

I want to move all my VMs to the new PVE server.
easiest would be using a shared storage like NFS/CIFS or similar, making backups of the VM/CT to that storage, and in your new PVE server you can just add that storage again. make sure to also backup the /etc/pve/ directory as that holds the configuration files for your current guests.

you can take a look at our documentation [0], you can also click the question marks in the user interface to open the corresponding section of the documentation to get help
