Thank you Fabian.

Yes, it is running and when I mount it as suggested by Dietmar, it shows in df command. When we unmount it, it does not show up in df as expected. Once mounted, I moved the required file from the container to the physical server and unmounted it again. I was enquiring is it better to keep it...

Thank you very much Dietmar. This was very helpful. Is it better to keep it unmounted and mount only when it is required?

It actually shows nothing when I run that command. root@srvr ~ # df -h | grep 100 root@srvr ~ #

Thank you Dietmar for the reply. Is it possible that we can view the contents now as we have already created the container and started using it? I mean, can we now browse the contents from the physical server. I find only a vm-100-disk-1.raw file in the path /var/lib/vz/images/100/.

Hello Team, Is it possible that we can browse the lxc containers like we used to browse in openvz? Path in openvz was /var/lib/vz/private/containerid/. Thank you.

I want to delete this thread, but unable to do it.

Thank you, Udo. Yes, it is a CT, I forgot to mention it in previous post. For taking backup of the VM, I am using tar command. After entering into this path {/var/lib/vz/private/105}, I used the tar command as "tar -zcvf /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-6.0-standard_6.0-2_i386.tar.gz . ". Will...

Hi Udo, I had used vzrestore to restore the tar.gz file; I will try again today as I did this around 10 days ago. Would you suggest to use "vzdump" or "tar -cxvf" for backup of the VM in PVE 1.8? With Regards, Beginer

Thanks, Tom. I had tried backup using vzdump and used the tar file to create a new VM in new server. It displayed an error message related to 'version different'. Is there any other way to backup the data so that it can be used in new server?

Hello All, I have a query related to VM migration from an old proxmox server to new one. I have PVE 1.8 running in the old server and bought a new one which has PVE version 3.1-24 installed in it now. There are some 30 VMs present in my old server which I need to move into this new one. Can...

Working on it, if could not find solution, will ask for help.

Thank you, Symmcom. Yes, I really mean backup files created through vzdump backup option in my previous server; and then I copied those backup files which were in .tar.gz format to new server's template location. I had restored 8 VMs individually using each of the 8 backup files, I had saved in...

Hello, In Proxmox version 3.1, I have created VMs using backups of old Proxmox server. I had created backups in that old server using vzdump as .tar.gz file and in this new server used the tar.gz backup file as a template. The VMs in new server got created fine and it is now working properly. I...
