I have a PBS (fully updated) with 3 PVE servers. Two of my servers have VMIDs 100, 101 and 102 - but the hostname is different (PVE-02 and PVE-HA) running completely different solutions. It appears that when I look at my PBS server, which is doing backups at 02:00, 02:30 and 03:00 - the VMID is being overwritten? It appears that they are not all being kept. Is this a known issue?
Separate Nodes - same VMID, overwritten?

Hi,

check the doc : https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/storage.html#backup-namespaces & https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/terminology.html#backup-namespace

Appreciate the links to the DOCS - but they do not make any sense. I created 2x namespaces, but cannot move the backups into them. Nor can I change the existing backup routines to use them.
You could also use a syncjobs to copy backups to the namespace you wish. Thanks to PBS deduplication it woudn't take extra space. Afterwards you could remove the backups you don't need there from them. You could also setup prune job to only run for a certain namespace. I recommend reading the manual, a lot gets clearer then.
