VMs won't start since I deleted storage

[NinthWave]

I moved from internal Backup to PBS.

When internal, I had an NFS share
With PBS I have a PBS store.

I made a first snapshot, verified that the recover worked... and then, deleted the old backup tasks to the share and deleted the volume

Big mistake. All my VMs won't start because of the missing NFS storage but I don't know why.

TASK ERROR: volume 'backups:111/vm-111-disk-0.qcow2' does not exist

Where is it still referenced and how can I save the day ?

Found it.

Solved for my debian VM

But, do I understand that I made the mistake of creating a VM on an NFS-Share normally used for backup purposes ?

Looks like it (if the backups storage is a NFS used for backup purposes). Mount the share and reconfigure the storage and move the disk to the correct storage?
EDIT: Afterwards, you can deselect images from the backups storage (in the Content setting) to prevent this in the future.
