I went to Proxmox GUI > Server View > Datacenter > Create VM > General > Node: proxmox > VM ID: 165 > Name: ServerNotRestoringAsUsual > Next > Linux/Other OS types: Other OS types (other) > Next > Use CD/DVD disc image file (iso) Storage: local > I click on the drop down window and no vzdump-qemu-165-2014_11_03-12_55_44.vma.lzo file.
Surely there's a better way to backup and restore?
Ok, I also copied all VMIDs.conf from /etc/pve/qemu-server from my old Proxmox machine to my local computer.
Now I need to restore all the VMs on the new Proxmox somehow?
Any suggestions please?
qmrestore /path/where/the/file/is/vzdump-qemu-165-2014_11_03-12_55_44.vma.lzo 165
Hi,Thank you for the reply.
I noticed you said "If you have an openvz-ct"
To be clear:
Proxmox old server has crashed.
what so you mean?? you store your backup on the same server?? And nothing else? And you expect, that the backup-files appear on the new server???Proxmox new server has been built.
Proxmox new server has no VMs.
Proxmox new server tries to Create VM, but no Storage finds the backups from /var/lib/vz/dump.
read the post before - and the man-page of qmrestore.This means I have to Create VMs with the iso files and rebuild every VM.
Please advise if I can use # qmrestore without having to rebuild a VM.
