I have a problem to solve, I have PBS on one machine, I have PVE1 and PVE2 on each and VM 100, 101 on each. And the problem is that I have no way to distinguish in PBS to see only one backup machine in Datastore - Content and the other is e.g. VM / 100, VWM / 101. The question is whether it can be divided?
 
for now you need to create two datastores on the PBS side. a namespace feature is on the roadmap

I don't think I know exactly where that suggestion is?
Cause I don't know how to do it if I have one zpool1

create one PBS datastore per PVE cluster.
 
no.. I am not sure what you actually want to achieve, maybe you can describe more clearly what your situation and problem is?

I have two separate machines with PVE (PVE1 and PVE2) I have a separate machine with a matrix for PBS. I connected PVE1i PVE2 to PBS and when the backup is performed, VM machines with the same names are replaced, eg VM / 100 etc. and I would like it to be separated depending on the PVE1 / PVE2 machine.
 
yeah. so make a separate datastore for each of your two (single-node ;)) pve clusters. e.g., make one datastore called "PBS1" and configure it on PVE1, and another one called "PBS2" and configure that one on PVE2. now the VMIDs won't clash anymore. the datastores can be on the same disk, just not in the same directory.

you can of course make PBS2 available on PVE1 for recovery/restore operations, and PBS1 on PVE2.
