A lot of time restauring VM backups

Hey guys!

Well, from the "progress 100% read..." to "total bytes read..." i got more that 2h! And the vm backup is only 150gb;
Well, that is, it takes more or less the same time from 1% to 100% as it does for the "task ok" message.
The whole process took a total of 4 hours, with 2 hours from 1 to 100% and another 2 hours for "task ok".
I have this problem with all my servers on my cluster. No any error message only the "no such logical volume pve/data".

Thanks.
 
and? only one hdd and 2 core intel lga 775 CPU? or what?
My question is: why does the task take another two hours to finish after reaching 100% completion?
Since theoretically it should finish when it reaches 100%.
 
IIRC, Proxmox waits for the writes to actually be written to the drive (fsync, flush, that kind of thing), when it's between progress 100% and total bytes. Sounds like half of the data is still in memory if that takes as long as getting to a 100%. Note that the percentage is about reads and not writes.
What make and model is the destination drive? Is it a SSD with QLC flash memory or is it a SMR HDD maybe?
 
You use a NVMe with only 20 MByte /s on read random 4k.
The NVMe heat up is to much 70 - 80 °C over the write process?
 
You're not providing ANY pertinent information here. What disk(s) are you using on source (backup) and destination (restore)? Are you restoring to a RAIDZ or what?

Gig ethernet? Faster?

No such volume pve/data means you probably tried to restore it to the wrong place, it's looking for lvm-thin on your destination and not finding it. Was probably stored with the backup. The storage has to exist on the Restore node, or you need to change the destination storage in the dropdown before actually restoring

If you want fast(er) restores, you should be backing up to PBS on SSD / nvme and restoring over at least 2.5Gbit
