@Andrew all that was okay. The proxy string was incorrect, now working. Thanks

No limit. Please open a support ticket so we can take a look directly on your XOA

@akurzawa thanks, I have been doing that. I was looking for a lazy way to move 20+ VMs out of a partition.

Olivier - the destination storage was attached to the wrong pool. It was behaving correctly, but not doing what I wanted.

I think this is what happens when you ask XOA to move a disk into a different resource pool, and that pool can't see the storage. Discovered that by accident

It looks like I can remove the remotes and set them up again, and configure the backup jobs to address the new share. That's okay, there are not too many.
