Restore error

[Keith Miller]

I tried to restore one of my VM's from a back up and received this error and of course a non-functional website, can someone assist

progress 25% (read 53687091200 bytes, duration 117 sec)

133 sounds like it has been killed with signal 5 - sigtrap - this should not happen unless you run the restore in a debugger (e.g. gdb, maybe also w/ strace).

check your `dmesg` for further hints - the last time I saw this it was related to bad ram - run memtest

hope this helps!

Thank you for the assiatance, where is this log located at and could rebooting server to clear memory possibly fix this error

Also my backups are stored on an external hard drive and this is my first time using the restore ability would adding this flag help 'storage local' flag to my qmrestore

* The log in most modern linux distros (including PVE) can be seen via `journalctl` (check `man journalctl` for more infos)
* `dmesg` is a command, which shows kernel-messages in a ringbuffer - errors like segfaults, and maybe the trap should end up there)
* running memtest is something which is done after shutting down the server - while it boots you can select 'Memory test' - and let it run for a full run

hope this helps!
