PBS Fingerprint

[Oasisnet77]

Hi all,
i have an Instance of PBS running backups for differents PVE
now I am attempting to test a disaster recovery creating a new PBS configured with same datastores of the old one and would like to use the same Fingerprint (and then the ip) so not to modify anything in PVE.
I found the Fingerprint of the old one but I can't find where to paste it in the new one
anybody knows where I can find the Fingerprint file?

thanks a lot
Emanuele

Fingerprint is not stored as a string. It is a sha256 hash of SSL certificate.
You can find certificate (proxy.pem) and corresponding private key (proxy.key) in /etc/proxmox-backup/ folder.

To have same fingerprint on a new PBS server you need:

• copy proxy.pem and proxy.key files to your new PBS
• set permissions for this files
• restart proxy service

Execute following commands on your new PBS shell. oldpbs is IP-Address or name of your old PBS node.

scp oldpbs:/etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.pem /etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.pem
scp oldpbs:/etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.key /etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.key
chown root:backup /etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.pem /etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.key
chmod 640 /etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.pem /etc/proxmox-backup/proxy.key
systemctl reload proxmox-backup-proxy

Just to check do you basically restore the the whole PBS with copying config files, if so, what folders and files do you backup? Im currently looking into the same
