Hello,

Current Server, 120GB Intel Datacenter SSD, 7x 128GB DELL SAS Drives near Death
New Server, 4x 1.2TB DELL SAS Drives, Brand new

I want to transfer the SSD from the current server and put on the new server and then transfer all my VM's to the new Server drives and get rid of the old SAS Drives.
What is the best way to do this? I have all the VM's stored on a NAS Storage Server and proxmoxbackup server+ proxmox VE is running off the Datacenter SSD.
I do not see a option to restore VM's without having them already made on the new server.

Is there a way to do this?

Regards,

Mount your backup storage and add it via "Datacenter -> Storage -> Add". Then click on that storage on the left side. Go to the storages "Backups" tab, select the backup you want to restore and hit the "Restore" button.

This worked for me. Thank you.
