Hi,

As soon as a conf file is in /etc/qemu-server, proxmox shows it as a new VM.
In this case, it would have the same ID as the original... Not good.

What I do is a regular backup of /etc/qemu-server, /etc/vz/, /etc/pve in the 
NFS share where I do my backups with proxmox.

So every not can access this backup, and I can restore the conf files of a 
failed node to another.
