Possibility to move local pve backups to pbs

[0zw00d]

Hello together,
I#m searching for a solution to move my local PVE Backups to PBS.
Is that possible in any way?
I did not found a solution in the PVE or PBS Docs.

Any Ideas are welcome.
Best regards

afaik: your local backups are vzdump backups dont think you can move them to the pbs, as the pbs backups are totally different to vzdump. Youll need to redo a full backup. You could move the old backups via scp to the pbs, but they wont get integrated into the ui or backup/restore wizards.

Hi,
while it is not possible to directly import vma based backups into PBS, what you can do is restore the backup to a VM and back it up to PBS again. Another solution would be to perform a filesystem based backup of your vma backups to PBS, then when needed for restore, restore the vma backups to a local storage and finally restore from vma backup. This can be done via the proxmox-backup-client cli, see https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html

Also, there are some patches on the mailing list regarding this, see https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pbs-devel/2023-September/006760.html
