Problem with mounted hard drive after restore

[Noobie]

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I've had a mishap and need your help.

I have an LXC container running an SMB server. I imported a backup from it. Now there is a small question mark on the “SMB_Node_200 (pve)” storage device, and when I go to the storage device, I see nothing and get the message: storage ‘SMB_Node_200’ is not online (500).

Unfortunately, I don't remember how I mounted/created the “SMB_Node_200 (pve)” disk. I think I must have mounted it as a disk in “200 (lcx-SMB)” or shared a folder in front of it. Then I must have shared a folder starting from “200 (lcx-SMB)” and mounted it as a network drive in “Datacenter.”





However, when I look at the command history for “200 (lcx-SMB),” the folder shared on the SMB server does not exist (backup was up to date).



Are the files gone now? What information do you need to help me if necessary?

Thank you very much in advance!

You probably lost all the data in the container. Look for "vzdump" files in the container data and check used size to make sure.
It's bad form to have the target backup device be a vm/ct on the host server.
You could accidentally wipe the data of the container, maybe inadvertently backing up ct 200 onto itself ???
If the intention is to keep backups on the pve host, you could have simply used a "local" storage or a directory.
Otherwise a networked backup storage should be on another machine, like a NAS.
