[SOLVED] qmrestore hanging at 49%

[Scotty]

Hi All,

I'm having to restore a zdump backup file to another host and I'm having issues getting past 49%.

root@proxmac:/mnt/pve/TrueNas/dump# qmrestore vzdump-qemu-101-2022_12_31-14_16_37.vma 111 --storage TrueNas

It's been 20hrs now...No obvious errors being reported but the processes appear stale:

I first tried this via the GUI and had the same issue.

I have another smaller VM which extracted fine but this one eludes me. Any guidance on how to extract the .raw files from it without having to use qmrestore?

Thanks,

Scotty

(Solved)

I've managed to find a work-around.

As you may see from the original paths, I was performing these actions across an SMB/CIFS share. Moving the zdump file to local storage on the proxmox host and then re-running the 'vma extract' created the files.

Quick dd and the VM is now running on the TrueNAS host.
