    From poindexter FORTRAN@1337:3/178 to All on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 17:04:21

    We had a power outage this morning. I was able to shut everything down with lots of time to spare.

    Came back this morning to an odd-sounding beep coming from my cabinet. Looked at the monitor in there and saw a BIOS screen running diags on the non-existent boot drive.

    <crap>

    Brought my my primary node, then tried to get to the BBS.

    <crappity crap!>

    I'd forgotten than I'd migrated the BBS to my node that ran Proxmox Backup Server. I did some hardware maintenance and forgot to move it back. So, the node I lost had the BBS on it *and* my Proxmox Backup Server VM.

    <crap diggity crap!!!>

    I had a spare Windows VM already configured, and I do a file backup to my NAS - just copied the files into c:\sbbs, changed the IP address and I'm back online.

    I think I'm going to rebuild the node with a new drive, ditch PBS and just do Proxmox native backup - that way I could just bring up a basic PVE node, configure storage and restore from there.

    Oh gosh - hate to hear this issue, pF. SUCK.

    UGH - I *love* PBS, but I do run it on its own hardware... just some 2000s Dell tower. PBS backups are the same as native PVE backups - and when working, restoring is super easy and effective.
