[RESOLVED] Restore vms backuped on PBS to another pve

[fabfr]

Hello,
I have a local PVE and an external PVE (2 independent clusters). The 2 pves back up to the local PBS (datastore backup) in different folders (/datastore/backup/local and /datastore/backup/agency). The local user is root@pam and the remote user is backup@pbs. The problem is that my remote pve server is down and I have to restore the vms from external pve on my local pve. Except that on PBS I can see the desired vms backups in /backup/agency but I cannot restore them to my local pve. I go to the backup storage on pve and I ONLY see the local vms, not the vms backed up by the remote pve. How can I restore these vms?
Thank you

are you talking about two different namespaces, or two different datastores when you say "different folders"? in any case, PVE will always only operate on one specific namespace in one specific datastore per storage definition, so you probably want to define a second storage on the PVE side pointing at your other namespace/datastore (with a user that has the desired level of access), then you should be able to restore using that storage.

Thank you for the quick reply.
It's in the same datastore in PBS. The access path for the remote pve backup is /datastore/backup/agency: agency namespace in the backup datastore.
I don't understand the procedure to be able to restore, sorry

that sounds like you have two namespaces on the PBS side. you need to configure them as two storages on the PVE side.

thank you Fabian, I finally understood: I created another datastore with the namespace and I finally see my backups. THANKS
