 ---
 
+## Current Status (stopped Mar 28 evening)
+
+- ✅ New server provisioned and up — Proxmox 9 installed
+- ✅ PBS datastore disk resized to 1.1TB
+- 🔧 PBS datastore needs to be wiped and recreated — old backups only go to Nov 2025, no point keeping them
+- ⏳ Fresh backup of all current VMs/containers needed before migration starts
+
+**Next session — start here:**
+1. Delete old PBS datastore
+2. Recreate PBS datastore fresh
+3. Run fresh backup of all VMs/containers — priority order below
+4. Verify all backups complete successfully
+5. Then proceed to Phase 1
+
