How to attach another vm disk to a different VM

[rudiduarterodrigues]

Hi Everyone

So basically my File server does not want to restore back to PVE keeps giving me a loopback pipe broken error ? i think its space but i have 10TB free on the NAS where the image is, maybe i cannot restore onto the same media as the backup is ??

is there a way i can map the disk to another machine and try pull the contents off the C drive ?

Your help would be very much appreciated

Thanks

Please provide the VM config of the backup, as well as the storage config (/etc/pve/storage.cfg) and the log of the failed restore.

Not quite understand your scenario.
Do you have a PM host with mounted storage (like NFS) on external NAS? Or NAS is a VM aswell?
What's your filesystem on a storage containing your VD?
You could try to create 2nd VM, detach your 1st VM disk, then attach it to other one. 2nd part needs to be done manually though (renaming VD, modifying VD .conf files etc).
Or try to backup entire VM and restore (obviously) with new VM ID (whitch will also add new VD's id).

i have a Proxmox with mounted NAS which holds the backup i want to restore
but i can only restore back onto the NAS because my local LVM has only 5TB left and apparently this vm is like 9TB

There are only 2 disks configured with 1T and 128G. You should be able to restore it on local-lvm if there's enough space.
Please provide the task log of the failed restore.

Please also provide the output of pvesm status.

If you want to restore the VM on a different storage, you should be able to specify a target storage in the GUI. If that's not possible, you could try the `qmrestore` command (see man qmrestore for more details).
