@hanscees Config files for VM's on a host are located in:

/etc/pve/qemu-server

I'd advise caution.

@hanscees If you ssh into the proxmox server does the UI match with the data generated from:

pvesh get /nodes/<host>/qemu/<vmid>/config

where <host> is the pmox server and<vmid> is the id of the VM you're looking at

@ScaredyCat is it advisable to reboot? Perhaps something is locked.

I noticed this in a back-up thats also from the wrong vm

@hanscees I would backup all my VM's to external storage, just in case. Full backups, shutting down the vm first. If required you should be able to restore the VM's and their configs from those backups.

Then I'd reboot and see but if your vmid's are mixed p I think it might be something else. What storage are you using? ceph? zfs?

@ScaredyCat I have copied the disks and all is well. I think I was just too tired yesterday and cloned the wrong vm's. Its the best explanation I can come up with

@hanscees Good news. Sometimes a bit of rest can make a world of difference. Glad you got it all sorted out.
