error with qmrestore

[aclweb]

Hi all !

I have configured a server with Proxmox PVE 1.9
On this server there is 2 VM under Windows 2008 with same configuration :
- 3 HDD (100 + 300 + 300 Go)

I would like to restore an backup of the first VM (backup created just after install and windows updates done) on a new VM with the command :

qmrestore mybackup.tgz 500

Where "500" is the number of the new VM
Here is the error message of the console :

ERROR: restore QemuServer backup 'mybackup.tgz' failed - command 'tar xf 'mybackup.tgz' '--to-command=/usr/sbin/qmrestore mybackup.tgz --extract 500'' failed with exit code 2

I read the list of operations done during the restore and i can read :

INFO: Formatting '/var/lib/vz/images/vm-500-disk1.raw', fmt=raw size=32768

and after :

INFO: restore data to '/var/lib/vz/images/500/vm-500-disk-1.raw' (107374182400 bytes)

and just after :

INFO: gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
INFO: tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
INFO: tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I think the problem is the program restore a backup disk of 100 Gb in a disk of 32 Gb => is-it true ?

Can you help me to resolve this problem.

note : i really need a partition bigger than 32 Gb for the Windows VM.

Regards,

Pascal

No, that should not be the problem.

Please check if the tar file is OK - what is the output of:

# tar tf mybackup.tgz

Hi,
I try the command "tar tf mybackup.tgz", here is the result :

qemu-server.conf
vm-disk-ide0.raw

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Fin prématurée rencontrée dans l'archive
tar: Erreur non récupérable : arrêt du traitement

looks not good, corrupt tgz file.

I think so... I create a new vdzump task without compress argument and restore is ok. I thought i'd give it one last try with compress.
