We are going to set up an environment with 2 servers, one for production use with PVE (PVE1) and the second with both PBS and PVE (PVE2, used for restore of PVE1 VMs in case of DR) installed.
PVE1 server will backup many VMs to a datastore (datastore1) on the PBS server.

The goal is to provide a vm restore on PVE2, limiting the privileges of the PBS user.

What are the best practices to perform it?
We thought to define a PBS user on PBS server with read only access to the same datastore1 and then add the PBS datastore to PVE2.
Any suggestions?
We are new to PBS and it's probabily a silly question, could be possible to perform a restore by cli without adding the PBS datastore on PVE2?
Thanks in advance
