If you hadn’t got lucky with the backup array would your existing off site backups have been any help or were they too out of date?

To a point. I completely revamped the off site backups when I ditched Veeam. Four (out of probably ten) VM’s were able to be backed up off-site successfully in PBS. I think I restored two of those because they were newer than what I had locally. The rest never made it off-site, probably due to the local PBS VM choking on disk write conflicts.

Ah I see, I didn’t realise you’d got rid of the old backups. Glad you managed to get most of it back!
And at least you have an off site backup, I still haven’t found a decent way to do it that isn’t prohibitively expensive
