Lost Storage data after loading backup

I have a NAS set up via Turnkey File Server in a container. I made the mistake of trying to update Webmin via the control panel and it broke, so in my infinte wisdom I desided to load a backup that had been made the night before. I have the root disk on a local-lvm, then the main storage on a mirrored ZFS pool made in Proxmox. The back up however was on the NAS via SMB which I copied over to my local drive (minus the notes file bcause I assumed it was unnessesary), since I didn't think I would be able to load the backup while the server was running. I was able to load it fine, however I think I screwed up the Mount Points because now the data apears to be gone on the ZFS pool, all I can find is a lost+found folder that is empty. If anyone could help me or tell me what I did wrong so I don't make the same mistake again, I would appreciate it.

Could you solve it? I have the same problem with a container, I do see the mounted disk but there is only the lost+found folder

I just solved the problem, when you restore the container, it changes all the container configuration in the proxmox nano path /etc/pve/lxc/###.conf, what you have to do is copy the LXC configuration -- BACKUPS -- CONFIGURATION, and paste it in the file /etc/pve/lxc/###.conf, you will see that it is not the same, once the configuration is the same, it will work again without problems.
