restore backup

Hi I'm running a Proxmox VE 8.2.7. server and just now joined a cluster. The VM configs all disappeared. I couldn't find the old config files in both /etc/pve/qemu-server and /etc/pve/nodes/server2/qemu-server. I have previously used Proxmox Backup Server 3.4.0 and was hoping to be able to...

Hi, We are migrating from vmware to proxmox and have been using 'veeam backup and replication' for backups while we have vmware. Now we are facing a problem in the restore step, since we want to possibly restore some backups directly into proxmox. Some UEFI vms are unable to boot, we are aware...

Hello! I run my home server via proxmox, and ran into a rather big snag last night that has me re-considering how I have everything set up. I need to explain how I have everything set up for any of this to make sense. I have 2 vms in my setup, one runs HAOS and the other runs Debian. The debian...

I cannot restore an esxi VMWare to Proxmox VE9.05 with Veeam 12.3.2.3617. I always get the error "restore failed to prepare disks for restore". In the VE9 logs i found the entry: pvestatd[1221]: Use of uninitialized value in multiplication (*) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer.pm line 2716.

Is there an official guide or thread that gives instructions for doing a restore? I looked at quite a few, but nothing is working for me.

Hi everyone, I'm currently testing Live Restore on Proxmox for some production VMs that serve as mail and hosting servers (cPanel-based). During the restore process, I noticed something interesting and I'd love to hear your thoughts: Let’s say the system is restoring a VM, and meanwhile some...

Hello. I'm trying to restore a backup for a 200G LXC container, but I get the following errors: ecovering backed-up configuration from 'nas01:backup/vzdump-lxc-109-2025_06_05-23_03_37.tar.zst' Logical volume "vm-401-disk-0" created. Creating filesystem with 52428800 4k blocks and 13107200...

Mit dem Titel fängt es ja schon mal sehr gut an. Wir haben ein kleines Problem: Wir müssen eine VM aus dem Backup wiederherstellen und leider sind unsere Backups failed. Warum fragen wir trotzdem? Im Backup liegen 5 SCSi Abbilder, welche ursprünglich aus einem Ceph Cluster stammen. Nur die...

Hello everyone, I have a few questions for which I haven’t found precise answers, and I’d like to clear up any doubts. Context: We have two separate backup servers, each with its own datastore. Server A is a fallback server used in case of an issue with Server B. We store the last three months...

I was trying to get my head around using the private/public master key pair via the proxmox-backup-client. Inspired by this post and grasgruen.it's script in it , I wanted to simultaneously create an easy to use and fast way to restore the latest file-level-backup of a given host. This is the...

Hello guys, I have a problem with backup with corrupted block on a 123 GB position (whole backup is 500 gb), and this corrupted fragment makes unpacking/restore of a whole backup impossible, although other blocks are fine. I do not understand fully the situation, how blocks got corrupte cause...
