trying to find the right backup but "show configuration" not working

[Mr.Gosh]

hey,

i am searching for an old backup of a vm but in the backup overview only the vm ids are listed.
i was hoping that i could find the right one by extracting the configs from the backups - but wehen i select a backup and click onto "show configuration" i get an

Method 'GET /nodes/pve02/vzdump/extractconfig' not implemented (501)

is there a way to find the machine names in the backup files anyway?

Hi,
you can use pvesm extractconfig

 

[dcsapak]

can you please post the output of

pveversion -v

 

[Mr.Gosh]

here is the output:

where do you get the "show configuration" button? (maybe post a screenshot?)
this feature is only in since pve-manager 4.2-15 (you have 4.2-5)
and the extractconfig api call exists since pve-manager 4.2-11

so the output is correct, that it is not implemented (your version is too old)
but it is not normal that you have the button

 

[Mr.Gosh]

This is funny - the button wasn't there anymore - when you asked - but today it is again...?!?
So i clicked on the machine that i was searching the right backup for (btw. it would be nice to have a row in the backup overview with the "name" of the machine the backup was created from).
than i clicked on the backups tab and clicked on the designated backup file - than there is that "view config" button...

there i get this error:

please upgrade all the nodes the the current version - requests are forwarded to the responsible node internally, but the GUI comes from the node that you are connecting to in the browser. if a new API endpoint is added and integrated into the GUI and you only upgrade some of the nodes, the upgraded nodes will have the new endpoint, the old ones won't.
