Hi,
I opened another thread because some of my backups don't want to verify because i have some bad chunks that appeared after a disk increase.
I would like to know if there is a way to transfer some backups (in my case the ones that had been verified) from the corrupt datastore to another fresh one.
I didn't see any documentation about how to transfer backups apart from doing a sync.

Thank you in advance for your help.

sync (or a manual pull with proxmox-backup-manager pull) is the way to go, but you need to remove the corrupt snapshots first (verify the whole datastore, then generate a list of snapshots that are broken, then remove those, then sync/pull). you can define a 'local' remote to pull from/to a single PBS instance.
