    [SOLVED] Backup works before restore. backup failed after restoring LXC

    So I was testing out my backups by deleting one of my LXCs and restoring it. I was able to restore my LXC from my NAS (NAS added as a store in PVE) via the Shell. Everything works except when it tried to perform a backup job to my NAS it failed. This is an unprivileged container. Before...

    Why does vzstart keep trying to start a CT while it's being backed up?

    I've searched and searched, as well as gone round and round with AI's trying to troubleshoot the issue. No avail... Maybe I'm just not describing it correctly to get to the answers? I have multiple CT's setup in my Proxmox, one of which is Nextcloud, which obviously takes a while. I have the...

(One VM only.) Restoration from local PBS is simple but how does one do it if the host does not have...
