Hello Proxmox team,
my current backup of the Proxmox installation is a DD of my boot media.
It happened yesterday that I needed to bring the backup into play.
This went fine:
- restoring the USB stick on my Linux Workstation
- mounting the file systems on the USB stick
There is struggeled:
- Copying the most current config files into /etc/pve directory. The directory on my USB stick (mounted on my local workstation) was completely empty. At the point where I booted from it I could see that /dev/fuse was mounted into /etc/pve.
I struggle to understand what actually happens here. I have read certain things about the fuse file system abstraction layer but seem to be unable to find a way to "inject" more recent config backup files into my DD image after restore.
Any pointers where the data actually is stored which can be accessed in /etc/pve on a running Proxmox server?
Thanks a lot and with best regards
Thomas
