[SOLVED] Upgrade PBS 2 to 3 while PVE still on V7

[RudiOnTheAir]

Hi

Would it be save to first upgrade the PBS to 8 and some days later the PVE? or should i do this on one day to prevent from storing backups from 7 pVE to 8 PBS..?

Thanks in advance..

Hello,

I think you mean upgrade PBS from 2 to 3:

No, I don't think it should be a problem if you update PVE at a later date.

Yes, sorry. The Upgrade to the Debian12 based release..

Tnx

I have a few clusters still on pve7 with a pbs on version 3.
So far no issues, you just can't use the newer features like namespaces.

Namespaces were introduced with PBS 2.2 and PVE 7.2:

Add support for namespaces in current Proxmox VE 7.2, the following versions form the baseline:
pve-manager >= 7.2-4, libpve-storage-perl >= 7.2-4, pve-container >= 4.2-1, qemu-server >= 7.2-3, pve-qemu-kvm >= 6.2.0-7
