PBS client file restore with overwrite?

[proxwolfe]

Hi,

So one of my VMs suffered a harddisk failure (the contents were, in principle, all backed up via the PBS client).

During the restore process there was a broken pipe error and the process stopped before it was complete - so not all files have been restored.

I would like to rerun the restore process in order to restore the files still missing. However, if I just run it again, I get an error that file xyz already exists (from the previous run).

Is there a flag that would allow the PBS client to simply overwrite existing files? (I did not find such in the docs...) Or is there another trick?

(Of course, I could simply delete all restored files and then run the restore process again but my guess is that if the process stops again ahead of completion, I might end up with even fewer restored files than now.)

Thanks!

no, this is not yet implemented unfortunately, but on the todo list - see https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3460 / https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3852 / https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3923

Thank you.

For now, this means I will try multiple restore runs on different targets and then might need to put a complete set together from the parts.
