Hi all,

I have a proxmox clusternode which I wanted to upgrade to version 9. Something went wrong during the update and after a reboot the node does boot but without any network connectivity. I did not move the virtual machines and lxc containers to another node cause I was spoiled from the other updates which always worked flawless. I wanted to backup the VMs and Containers to an external SSD connected via USB and mounted to /var/lib/vz/dump and simply reinstall the node but I couldn't convice vzdump to backup the VMs and containers to the storage local.
So I am wondering if there is another way to backup the VMs and Containers somehow?

Thanks for your help
