Can't restore backup

[albertoZurini]

I got this error when I try to restore any backup I have of my VMS!!!

Is it possible that you copy the backup first on local machine, only for testing to import from there.
Other backups are able to recover?

Because I've formatted my servers all backups came from other machines.

No, I've tried backups that used to work in older versions and I still can't restore them

You seem to be already restoring from local machine, you have copied the backup file in the "target" Proxmox under, probably, /root dir, right?
I see that the qmrestore seems to write some temporary file in /var/tmp/ (/var/tmp/vzdumptmp13242), wondering if it has enough space in it (that scares me a bit since usually there is not much space under /var, being under /dev/mapper/pve-root and usually a small partition). If you also put the backup file there your free space is further reduced. It should give "I/O error" or "disk full", but who knows... try to have more free space under / and try again. Check space with

df -h | egrep "/$"

Also try to update your proxmox to latest 6.2, maybe could help

In the end, I've solved formatting the servers and installing PVE 6.2. Now everything works fine (but I still have to do all PCI-E passtrough stuff)
