I have "server1" (10.0.0.1) backing up VM 502 on "server2" (10.0.0.2) with pve-zsync.
I set up the process with:
eventually, server1 blows up and I have to completely reinstall it, proxmox and all. I also want to reinstall the pve-zsync job.
I have learnt that if I simply recreate the job with the command above, eventually it causes an error because on the sending side (server2) there are still snapshot in rpool/data. To avoid the error I have to manually delete all the snapshots with command such as
however, by doing so I lose all the previous backups of this VM. So I have this question: instead of deleting them, is it possible to transfer manually these snapshot back to the backup server (server1), so to completely rebuild the situation as it were before the crash, preserving all the backup history and also making pve-zsync happy?
(btw: if the answer if yes, then it would also be very nice if the pve-zsync tool provided an automated way to do so
)
