qmrestore

Original post from the DE support board translated: After this I was informed in a now deleted comment that there is no functionality like this and using Proxmox Backup Server was recommended. Our Proxmox Backup Server deployment is in the works but will still take some time, so we need a...

After migrating servers from PVE A to PVE B maybe the original storage from the PBS QEMU Server Config is not existing on the new server. While trying to restore this backup perfectly works from Proxmox GUI PBS Storage view. Example: API POST Request to /api2/json/nodes/nodeXX/qemu Parameters...

Good morning, this is for preparation of a desaster recovery, I am just evaluating ways to handle a problematic situation. Let's assume I have a dead PVE a working PBS another PVE Node (in another unrelated Cluster) to run a restored VM; already connected to PBS - but with a different...

Hey everyone. I have a backup hard drive as a ZFS-pool containing the backup jobs I made of my VM. I plugged in my hard drive and Proxmox recognizes it contains vm-100-disk-0 under "VM Disks", but I can't figure out how to restore my VM from it. The only button highlighted is the "remove"...

I recently ran into some odd issues with clustering. I migrated over a disk PRIOR to actually making the backend storage available to the new node. This caused some wonky things to happen including some disks being erased from their original location. I had disks in the original storage...

Hello guys, I'm getting confuse about the backup restoring. I did a backup of a lot of my virtual machines from my old proxmox server. I used this command to restore one of my backup : qmrestore vzdump-qemu-200-2019_02_19-22_57_27.vma.lzo 200 -storage vm-disks But, when I'm trying to start...

Just looking for a bit of knowledge confirmation. I've been using vzdump to take nightly snapshot backups of my VMs. My only question here is that it seems like you cannot restore a snapshot backup to an already existing VM ID. You have to use qmrestore and give a new VM ID to be created. From...

We are setting up a development environment where VM's are created (using qmrestore) on the fly and then deleted after running some tests. However, I always get the message "WARNING: gpt signature detected on /dev/SAN/vm-406-disk-0 at offset 512. Wipe it?" when a new disk is created on our...

Hello, I recently discovered that 'qmrestore' does not update/change the UUID after a successful restore from a backup image. My experiments involved creating many VMs from the same vzdump image. As far as functionality goes, this may be expected behavior, but it caught me off guard, as some...

Hey there, I've setup proxmox with 3 different storages: local-lvm, ssd based nfs-storage, which is a remote nfs server nfs-backup, which is also a remote nfs server I want to create a VM with one disk on local-lvm and one disk on nfs-storage. I can backup a machine like this just fine, but...

Hi guys, I am trying to restore a VM from a USB drive via the command line and have run into an issue. The restore fails with exit code 133 every time. My target storage is LVM backed with iSCSI, plenty of space. However, it appears that qmrestore tries to use /var/tmp as the location to...
