Hi,
I'm just trying out vzdump & qmrestore backups between different hosts. (backup host: proxmox 5.4, restore host: 6.0)
I've dumped a vm backup on one host, copied log & lzo files to a directory on the other host and when trying to issue restore command I get:
Code:
# qmrestore vzdump-qemu-110-2019_09_05-11_22_45.vma.lzo 110 --force true --storage local-lvm
restore vma archive: lzop -d -c /mnt/x/dump/vzdump-qemu-110-2019_09_05-11_22_45.vma.lzo | vma extract -v -r /var/tmp/vzdumptmp22542.fifo - /var/tmp/vzdumptmp22542

command 'set -o pipefail && lzop -d -c /mnt/x/dump/vzdump-qemu-110-2019_09_05-11_22_45.vma.lzo | vma extract -v -r /var/tmp/vzdumptmp22542.fifo - /var/tmp/vzdumptmp22542' failed: storage 'local-zfs' does not exists

local-zfs was local storage on the host where I made a backup, however I would think that --storage should overwrite it?

Please provide the config of the backup (GUI -> Backup file -> Show Configuration) and the storage config of the node where the backup was created.
In a quick test (PVE 6 to PVE 6 backup/restore) I coult not reproduce it even though the original storage was not available.
 
similar (enough to not start a new thread) problem here

backup was originally create when the vm was in lvm_storage1-md1. here's the config

I want to restore to either `dir-zfs-storage-sdx4` or `lvmt_containers1-nvme1.
 
This is because of the cloudinit disk. It should be fixed in qemu-server 6.0-8.

Apologies for not replying earlier. I can't provide it anymore since I wiped my old proxmox installation and to 'mitigate' the issue I just named my new storage local-zfs even though it's lvm.

But it could be related to cloud-init as my images were using it as well.

We've upgraded to the latest release 0-12 but this still fails, even when setting the storage on the command line.

With qemu-server 6.1-2 I can't reproduce this here. If the storage is not available and I restore to a different one it works.
Please provide again the output of pveversion -v and the VM config in the backup. If the storage.cfg changed please provide it as well. And the restore log please.

The log and the storage are the same as before, as is the error itself.
 
Please reboot and then try again. If it still fails provide the complete restore log.
As mentioned previously, I can't reproduce it here with this version of qemu-server.

I've managed to import this backup. First, I extracted it to temporary directory, then I moved extracted qemu-server.conf to /etc/pve/qemu-server directory, removed all disks from config (cloudinit and scsi0), then I imported extracted disk-drive-scsi0.raw to VM and re-created cloudinit disk. It wasn't easy, but yes, I can :))
