Thanks for the Link. I still have 1.8. So i have first upgrade my proxmox to 1.9 ?

Whats about the other Stuf, like debian-Upgrade. Should i first dist-upgrade debian, or first proxmox. How can i make a backup of my proxmox-container to keep it save?

I hope to find here some hints or a little worktrough, which answer questions like:
- Should i clean first the VZ's to make them smaller (maybe delete obsolete logfiles)..
- which file have i to backup, if something went wrong with proxmox odr distribution-upgrade, to reinstall the vz in a brand new installation
- is it possible to use a vz which was running on P1.8 into P2.0 ?

Hope you can get me some more hints, or a link to a forum-thread, which discuss this.
