I backed up my container from proxmox1 and it is in vzdump.*.lzo format and I moved it to proxmox3
In proxmox 3 I created a container similar to oringinal container memory/diskspace/cpu wise

how do I restore this backup?

I tried pct to no avail...and I also tried to do gui migrate and it complains about rootfs

tried with CT id destination I created
root@mon-proxmox-3:/var/lib/vz/dump# pct restore 189 vzdump-lxc-118-2021_03_10-14_14_00.tar.lzo
CT 189 already exists on node 'mon-proxmox-3'


tried with non-existing CT id
root@mon-proxmox-3:/var/lib/vz/dump# pct restore 190 vzdump-lxc-118-2021_03_10-14_14_00.tar.lzo
400 Parameter verification failed.
storage: storage 'local' does not support container directories
pct restore <vmid> <ostemplate> [OPTIONS]

I can login to ct189 ubuntu machine and maybe I can restore just manually!

Any thoughts?
 
What happened to all my other reply and findings to my own questions?

why did you delete all my own research and answers to my own questions?

That is not the proper way to manage KB that others could benefit from my research!!!!

Your answer came after I found the solution about 8 hrs late!

local already has container enabled!
My answers that I posted before related to rootfs is the what is needed! you better restore them!
