While I receive "container 103" error, the container is created and everything seems to restore correctly.

you cannot mix tools for OpenVZ Containers and KVM guest.

you have a backup of a KVM guest, therefore you need to restore it with qmrestore. vzrestore is for OpenVZ containers only.

I tried qmrestore and got the same error message.

Either way I ended up with a raw file in the VM container under /var/lib/vz/private/zzz

Unless this is wrong I moved the raw file from private to the images folder in VZ under the appropriate vz container. I also then went in and copied the qemu-server.conf to /etc/pve/nodes/proxmox1 and named it to match 103.conf

From there I was able to start the node.

Any reason why qmrestore would not have built the container under images vs the privat

do not mix OpenVZ and KVM, these are complete different technologies.

so the questions is what and how do you backup and how do you restore?
