[SOLVED] Restore to different node with different datastore

[christian.g]

Hi everyone,

maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

What i would like to do is to restore a VM made from one node into its datastore to a different node with its own datastore using a new VMID.

Let say i have two nodes with each having its own datastore:
node1 -> store1
node2 -> store2

Both nodes have VMs with IDs 100,101,102

Now i would like restore VM 100 from node1 to node2 but with VMID 103.

pbs-restore allows to give a repository url but doesn't seem to be able to restore to a different VMID.
qmrestore can restore to a different VMID but needs the datastore configured which i don't want to do because of possible backup clashes due to same VMIDs in both datastores.

So how can i do a one shot restore from a different datastore without configuring it in first place?

Thanks

there currently is no such one-shot functionality. setup the second datastore as storage, if you want to prevent accidents set ACLs accordingly and/or disable it when not in use.

Ok, thanks.
It would be very nice to be able to do such a one-shot restore from a different datastore or to copy backups between datastores in pbs (incl. changing VMID).
