[ERROR] No backup files found in /opt/proxmox-backup/backup

Here is my first try to backup and restore a configuration during a migration from a PBS Debian VM to a PBS LXC.

`
root@pbseng:# ls -la /opt/proxmox-backup/backup/
total 1860
drwxr-x--- 2 backup backup 4096 Nov 8 10:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Nov 8 10:53 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1893716 Nov 8 10:56 pbs-backup-pbseng.local-2025-11-08_03-02-36.tar.xz
root@pbseng:# proxmox-restore

[ERROR] No backup files found in /opt/proxmox-backup/backup`

• I made a backup on the VM,
• scp the file on the host
• shutdown the VM (which has the same IP as the LXC)
• started the LXC,
• installed your proxmox-backup
• scp the backup from host to lxc
• tryed proxmox-restore
• chmod 777 the backup file but no that was not a permission issue

Any idea ?...

hi, give me a moment, I'll try to check

[tis24dev]

OK, first question:
Did you copy all three files?
Backup + SHA256 + metadata?

[Vartkat]

no just the tar file

[tis24dev]

OK, the script searches for all three files to confirm they are correct.
I am now modifying the recovery tool to also implement recoveries from unsafe files.

Thanks. it works with the three files. Should'nt you make the three files one and untar it to get the three ?
Just an idea

Hello! The new releases create a bundle of the three files, as suggested.
