Hello,

Current setup :
pve > virtualized pbs > attach smb shares from truenas box.

Switched to NFS share while keeping the same share name.
Backups are here :


Code:
root@hortensia:/etc/proxmox-backup# ls /mnt/nas01/nas01-dtst01/vm/ | wc -l


But somehow, the PBS doesn't see them.

He only sees the last backup I did to test things out :

Code:
root@hortensia:/mnt/nas01/nas01-dtst01/vm/20023# ls -lah

total 121K

They all got the same rights, i don't understand why he doesn't see the older ones ?
 
Okay, for everyone that would have the same issue.
I reread my post and looked at the filenames ; they had some weird unicode in them instead of the :: for the time data.
Simply write a script that rename them and you should be fine. backup tested and ok-ed

These have however different permissions and seen to contain incorrectly encoded colons :. Is this just a formatting issue from your post or do you have this also in the raw output of ls?

The last one has the right permissions and characters, therefore considered by PBS.
