I changed nothing except to upgrade to the latest release on my PVE and PBS. On the PVE, VM backups and restores continue to work as normal. HOWEVER, on the PBS itself, the GUI displays all my Disks, LVMs, and ZFS. The Directory comes up BLANK.
Code:
proxmox-backup-manager datastore list
┌──────┬─────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ name │ path        │ comment                                       │
╞══════╪═════════════╪═══════════════════════════════════════════════╡
│ hive │ /mnt/backup │ A collection of data sets backed up to a hive │
└──────┴─────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
proxmox-backup-manager datastore show hive
┌─────────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Name        │ Value                                         │

├─────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ path        │ /mnt/backup                                   │
├─────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤

├─────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ gc-schedule │ monthly                                       │
└─────────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
At /etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg
Code:
datastore: hive
        comment A collection of data sets backed up to a hive
        gc-schedule monthly
        path /mnt/backup
 Reload does nothing. Create directory yields "No Disks Unused".
At the backup server local GUI, Backups, VM Disks, CT Volumes, ISO Images, Snippets, and Permissions - All come up BLANK. On the Backups selection, all options are greyed out: Restore, Show Configuration, Edit Notes, Change Protection, Prune group. Remove - all unselectable.

I do not want to inadvertently mess anything up and thought to seek some guidance.
 
Permissions for /mnt/backup are
Code:
drwxr-xr-x  2 backup backup  2 Apr  7 16:09 ct
drwxr-xr-x 15 backup backup 15 Jun  2 03:56 vm
Tape Backup and Datastore options are also missing from the GUI.
 
hi,

can you maybe post screenshots, since i cannot really imagine what exactly is going on here (just so we rule out some misunderstandings what you actually mean)

ok the screenshot sadly does not tell me more.. what exactly do you feel is missing here? what would you expect to see?
 
Apologies for taking up your time and thank you for your responses. I made a stupid mistake. I had installed PVE and PBS on the same server and failed to use port 8007 to get to the PBS menu. Please close this issue.
