can't restore vma.lzo backup to different storage - failed: unsupported format qcow2

[abt]

Hi guys - hopefully you can help me.

I'm trying to restore a backup that is in vma.lzo format and stored in one storage type (directory) to another storage type (LVM) and a different VM id. I ran the original backup via the GUI, but when I try to restore via the gui I don't have the option to specify a different VM id. So I ran the following command and the resulting error is included as well. Please help...

root@c21vm1:/var/restore/dump# qmrestore --storage main vzdump-qemu-101-2013_05_02-00_11_40.vma.lzo 108

Re: can't restore vma.lzo backup to different storage - failed: unsupported format qc

do you have a 3.0 box to test if it works in latest version?
(you can also test in a virtualized installation)

This backup contains a qcow2 file, so you need to specify a storage which can handle this type (Directory/NFS). In 3.0 you can also restore such files to LVM.
