PBS, Remote Syncs, recovery

[tjk]

Hey Folks,

Thinking through a strategy for 2nd copy of backup data. I understand I can use Remote sync to another PBS server to have a second copy of data, sounds great. But what is the process to recover from that 2nd copy of data?

I mean if the 1st PBS server blows up and I need to restore and continue backups to the 2nd server, is there a documented procedure on how this operates? Should both PBS servers be presented to the PVE cluster(s), what happens if the 2nd PBS server is in another facility, etc.

Thanks for any guidance.

in case the first server is not reachable there are basically two options:

* add the second one to pve
* recreate the first one and sync the changes back
