Feature request: VM file restore

[oscarm]

In VMware you have the ability to just restore a vmdk from a vm to a VMware datastore. In Proxmox there's no such thing. I would like to be able to just restore a disk and hook it up to an existing VM like I am used to do with VMware.

Now you have to restore the whole Proxmox VM with different name and then you can change the VM config in order to use a restored disk as a work around.

Hello Oscar,

Just to be sure, are you referring to Disk Recovery options in VMware workloads? https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13

no I mean you can just restore the vmdk files and the vmx file to a Vmware Datastore. So if you want to restore a datadisk and mount it on an existing vm you can just put the disk back on the datastore and then configure it as an extra disk in the existing vm.

With Proxmox there's no such thing. It would be handy to just restore a disk of a vm to the proxmox storage and then configure it as an extra disk in an existing vm. The option in VMware is called "Restore VM files"
