Possible to restore from Backup as linked clone?

[sgtpepperaut]

I am running about XX linked clones (LXC) on ZFS that obviously save me a lot of hdd space. I back those up to an external storage. If things turn for the worst and Id have to restore to a new Proxmox Installation is there a way to restore the containers with the same space benefits as before? In Essence: Can I restore to a linked clone configuration?

OR
will they now all have their Independent disk using XX the amount of space?

restoring to a linked clone is not possible from a backup (the backup just contains the data, not the ZFS structures needed to reconstruct the clone relation).
