Restore: ERROR: archive contains no configuration file (500)

Hi all,

I'm running Proxmox V4 7.4 on a MiniPC for some months now without problems. In total I have 4 containers running which I do daily backups of. THere are 2 Backup Jobs running doing the same thing. First Job runs 4.00am creating Snapshots on the local storage.
In case local machine gets broken I have added 2nd backup Job to store backups on NAS Storage of CFIS/SMB. The backup job runs fine and the files are stored on the NAS. Only thing is that the backups stored on NAS, a restore fails with ERROR: archive contains no configuration file (500)


LOG:

recovering backed-up configuration from 'Backups:backup/vzdump-lxc-100-2023_11_14-12_04_06.tar.zst'
tar: /mnt/pve/NAS/Fanxiang-S101256GB-01/dump/vzdump-lxc-100-2023_11_14-12_04_06.tar.zst: Cannot open: Stale file handle
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
TASK ERROR: unable to restore CT 110 - ERROR: archive contains no configuration file

First backup Job on local storage does not have this problem, only the Job which stores on the NAS.
Any ideas to solve that?

looks like a NFS problem, can you remount your storage or look at the NFS server side in the logs?

All the files exists on the mounted storage and is shown on the GUI as well.



I don't get why it is looking here? recovering backed-up configuration from 'Backups:backup/vzdump-lxc-100-2023_11_14-12_04_06.tar.zst' ??

sounds like your CIFS server is broken and requires the "noserverino" mount option: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/smb-cifs-mount-point-stale-file-handle.124105/#post-540218

Thanks Fabian, I have mounted the storage with noserverino and now it works. Thanks a lot!
