Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH storage v9 6/6] pvesm: add a copy-volume command
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:36:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251217133655.98920-7-f.schauer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251217133655.98920-1-f.schauer@proxmox.com>
The method can be called from the PVE shell with `pvesm copy-volume`:
```
pvesm copy-volume \
<source volume> <target volume or storage> \
[--target-node <node>] [--delete]
```
For example to copy a VMA backup to a Proxmox Backup Server:
```
pvesm copy-volume \
local:backup/vzdump-qemu-100-2024_06_25-13_08_56.vma.zst pbs
```
Or copy a container template to another node and delete the source:
```
pvesm copy-volume \
local:vztmpl/devuan-4.0-standard_4.0_amd64.tar.gz local \
--target-node pvenode2 --delete
```
Or copy an ISO and rename it:
```
pvesm copy-volume \
local:iso/debian-13.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso cephfs:iso/debian13.1.iso
```
