Hi, I have a very small Proxmox node installed and I used to have a USB 3.0 hard disk as my simple backup for my VMs and CTs. This disk died, and I simply deattached it, however, now when I go to "Backup" section for each CT or VM that used that disk to automatically create backups, I get "storage /null does not exist (500)" error, and I can't reconfigure backups, even with a new disk.

How can I get rid of this infinite loading message so I can re-set up this with a new disk?
 
Did you remove (the link to) the failed disk from: "Datacenter" -> "Storage" and (for completeness) also from: /etc/fstab (or however you actually had mounted that disk before)?
 
Thanks, I didn't remove it from Datacenter>Storage, now I just attached another USB disk and named it the same, and actually that fixed it anyway. Thanks.
