Proxmox PVE folder

[olu]

Hello my proxmox server stopped booting after a light cut and i was unable to get it going, i have now done a new install and all my old disk are still there and still can not fix my old bootdisk, i have a copied of my old PVE folder . Can i just copy and paste it into the new installation PVE folder and all my disk and configuration should just show up and work fine?

For import your VM disk storage, except root dir, you can copy / paste the /etc/pve/storage.cfg part intop the new storage.cfg file.

If you still have your old file structure, you can even take out what was there last:
