Hi,
I currently have my Proxmox VE installed on a single SSD and I plan to move to 2 SSD in mirror mode.

I'll have to reinstall PVE. My PVE and PBS settings are backed up with Proxsave and all my VM / CT (installed on local-lvm, so on the SSD I'm replacing...) are backed up with PBS on the same machine but on dedicated drives.

I'm a bit confused on how I should proceed after the initial install of PVE to restore everything the way it was.

If I understood correctly, I should:

1. Perform a fresh install on the new SSDs with same hostname / IP
2. Perform a full restore from Proxsave
3. Restore my local PBS LXC from a backup save stored on another computer
4. Restore all my VM from PBS

Does this makes sense, am I taking the things in the right order?

I'll appreciate some help on this topic as I feel a bit lost here on how I should proceed.

Thanks,
Nick
