Hello forumers,

I am working on the migration from old Proxmox 3 VE to the newest version. As I know one of the simplest ways to move KVM from old environment is using backup and restore options:
vzdump < VM_ID > --dumpdir /var/lib/vz/dump/ --compress gzip --mode stop --node < NODE_NAME >
In case of containers it should be converted from OpenVZ to LXC because OpenVZ isn't available since Proxmox VE 4.x series.

But backup and restore functionality inside of proxmox even when moving to a new host machine restores all original settings and OS version. Surely, OS version is too outdated on it (Debian 7). There is any way how can I restore all staff of VMs to new VMs based on the latest OS version (Debian 12) on my new Proxmox 8 server?
