[SOLVED] Restore of LXC-Backups not working

[cleitgeb]

I am trying to restore LXC-Backups, which were made by Proxmox Backup.

It actually only deleted my container and throws the following error:

TASK ERROR: Undefined subroutine &PVE::Storage::extract_vzdump_config_tar called at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Create.pm line 73.

I tried the restoration from a network datastore, but also different local datastores -> nothing worked.

I am on the newest stable Proxmox VE Community release.
Please help.

please post the output of

pveversion -v

and make sure you have the right repositories configured, see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_repositories

Hi Dominik,

i am the co-admin of the affected proxmox host.

Output of pveversion -v is:

proxmox-ve: not correctly installed (running kernel: 4.2.8-1-pve)
pve-manager: 4.1-15 (running version: 4.1-15/8cd55b52)

lxc-pve: 2.0.3-4
lxcfs: 2.0.2-pve1
cgmanager: 0.39-pve1
criu: 1.6.0-1

Due to a bug in a previous version, we had to use the pvetest repository as suggested in the forum.
So the question is now: Go back to stable or keep it running on the pvetest repo?

kind regards
Fabian

As i have seen, that apt-get upgrade did not completely upgrade everything, so i did a apt-get dist-upgrade and this are the versions now:

proxmox-ve: not correctly installed (running kernel: 4.2.8-1-pve)
pve-manager: 4.2-17 (running version: 4.2-17/e1400248)

criu: 1.6.0-1

The "not installed correctly" does not instill a lot of confidence in me. ;-)

kind regards

Sorry for the tripple-post.

Finally, the restore does work again, and the vanished container ID 303 came back to life.
All i had to do, was a apt-get install proxmox-ve which fixed the "not correctly installed"-error.

I cannot see how this could have happened - leaving proxmox-ve in an unclear installation state. But in the end, it works now.

kind regards,
Fabian

 

[fabian]

this happens if you misconfigure your repositories and don't read the apt-get output (it will tell you when packages are removed) or when you run "apt-get upgrade" instead of "apt-get dist-upgrade"

Im using "Proxmpx 4.2:

No, you are running version 4.1 - so please update your installation,.
