Hello together
i am still testing around with Proxmox Backup Server and especially the backup-client. (About the installation of the proxmox-backup-client on ubuntu, see here.)
I was abled to backup some user files from a VM that i wanted to restore in another VM. Backup up the files worked very well. In the second VM i could also connect to the backup-server through the interactive shell. On "ls" i could browse through all the files, everything works as expected there.
I selected a folder and then restored it to a local folder. Even when i just selected a folder containing a few text files (less than 5 MB), the process seems to move GBs of data (i monitored it with iftop) and doesn't finish in a reasonable time (i always interrupted the command after a while),
Just to check my commands in the interactive shell:
While the GBs of data (seen on iftop) are moved to that VM i tried to monitor local storage in that VM (using df) - i couldn't find the files or any files from that process.. I tried with different target-paths, no difference.
I could also monitor the task from within the Proxmox-backup-server GUI - no issues there. I shows that many chunks are moved to the VM.
Any ideas?
