I have a Proxmox backup server with approximately 200 GB on Backblaze. Now I wanted to use this S3 bucket on my new backup server. Setup worked so far but I can't see any backups.
In the task I can see:


Code:
2025-10-26T10:24:00+01:00: Fetching object ct/107/2025-08-04T23:03:37Z/root.pxar.didx

that mean there are backups or I'm wrong?

Yes, if you created the datastore on the new server and set the reuse existing datastore and overwrite in-use marker flags, the local datastore cache will be set into an s3-refresh maintenance mode and the contents fetched to a temporary location. While this is ongoing, you will not be able to operate on the datastore contents, which are only moved to the final location after their contents have successfully been fetched and the maintenance mode is cleared again.

Is the s3 refresh still ongoing? Was there any error during the fetching of the contents? (Check the systemd journal on the new PBS instance for errros).

Now I delete and greated again. No error in the logs:
