Hi,
you might want to try using pvesm set local --preallocation off, because preallocation for the qcow2 metadata might be what causes the timeout.

Thanks, Fiona. I don't know how to do that. I will be very grateful if you can help me achieve that.

 

[fiona]

I already posted the command you need to use

pvesm set local --preallocation off

You can also do it in the web UI, by going to Datacenter > Storage > local > Edit. With the Advanced checkbox, the Preallocation setting should show up.

Thank you

Hello Fiona,
I followed your instruction, and yes, it works. Thank you again. Anyway after the restoration I faced the following error while starting:

(TASK ERROR: storage 'local' does not support content-type 'iso')

Hoping to will help once more

 

[fiona]

You can edit the storage in the UI (see my last post) and allow content type ISO image.

I found the same issue posted 2021 which you fixed and I followed the instruction which I was able to fixed the above issue so thank you again

Unfortunately, I have never used Nextcloud, so I can't help you there. If you're lucky some forum user here can, but maybe try searching for the error on Nextcloud-related sites or the larger web.
