Pooling local backup between two PBSs from the same datastore

[brucexx]

I have two locations and backup to PBS in each location. Is it possible to sync between locations only VMs that are local to that PBS but using the same datastore ?

In other words sync between locations but only VMs that are not in the other PBS datastore ?

Thank you

You can use Namespaces to create logically separated groups on the same PBS: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/storage.html#backup-namespaces ( https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/terminology.html#backup-namespace )

Each of the both PVE would then send backups to the same server with a dedicated namespace...

The scenario I have is with 2 Proxmox Backup servers doing sync between each other. There are no naming conflicts. In one location there is one naming convention in the other there is different one. When I pull the backups I just want to backup the the VM that are not on the other side.

I just did a test on my 2 test PBS servers with simple Pull sync job and it just returned errors for VMs present in the same location but it did backup VMs with names in in that location. I guess with groups which you suggested it could be done in more elegant way.
