Proxmox Backup Server restored. Unable to restore old backups

[juls]

Hello everyone,

I am having difficulty restoring my backups.Unfortunately, the error message isn't helping either:

recovering backed-up configuration from 'restooooooore:backup/ct/102/2023-11-26T18:49:00Z'

A few notes:
PBS is running virtually.
External USB HDD is passed through (FS ext4).
CT ran on ZFS.
Systems are up to date


It would be great if someone could provide support.
Also happy to receive help in German.
I am a complete beginner, so please be considerate i am still learning.

Best regards
Juls

anything visible in the PBS server side logs?

Did the securing of the PBS overlap with the securing of the containers? So does the problem occur with every backup or only specifically with this one?

I found the error myself.
I wanted to integrate my existing datastore into the PBS via the GUI.

The following error message:

TASK ERROR: unable to create chunk store 'store1' subdir "/mnt/datastore/BackupStorage/.chunks" - EEXIST: File exists

I, being foolish, thought:
Just delete the .chunks.
Datastore could be mounted without any issues. However, backups could not be restored.

I've abandoned the idea of restoring the backups
