Error when try to restore a LXC container backup with "pct restore".

[ramses]

Hi everyone,
I have installed PROXMOX PVE 4.4.1
I have created some LXC Containers and It's works well. I can create Backups of the LXC Containers without problems and restore it over the same LXC Container ID from Web Administration page of PROXMOX.
Now, I would like restore a Backup to create a new LXC Container form console, but it give me a error and I can´t create it.
From console I want créate the LXC Container 120 from a Backup:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@proxmox:/vz/dump# pct restore 120 vzdump-lxc-100-2017_03_24-19_48_37.tar.gz
400 Parameter verification failed.
storage: storage 'local' does not support container directories
pct restore <vmid> <ostemplate> [OPTIONS]
root@proxmox:/vz/dump#
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anybody tell me what I are doing wrong?
Can't I do this?

Regards,
Ramses

Your storage does not support containers. Either enable containers on storage 'local', or select another storage.

Dietmar, very thanks by your answer.

How can I select another storage in the pct restore command to restore the backup and create the new LXC Container on the local-lvm storage?

There is a parameter named 'storage' - see "man pct" (Restoring Container Backups)

Thanks dietmar.

It's solved with:

root@proxmox:/vz/dump# pct restore 120 vzdump-lxc-100-2017_03_24-19_48_37.tar.gz --storage local-lvm
