Today I fell victim to the "we're going to trash your installation" bug in the latest release of Jellyfin. I currently (or used to, anyway) run it in an LXC. Rather than jump through all the hoops Jellyfin say you need to do to take your system back to an earlier version, I thought it would be far simpler to recover a backup...
PVE is 8.4.14
PBS is 4.0.15
The LXC configuration is:
When I try to recover the backup, I get the following:
(PBS IP address redacted)
Restores of other LXCs and VMs all work without problem.
I've tried everything I could to restore this backup, but nothing seems to work - I've even resorted to asking ChatGPT.
I don't mind so much about the error itself (although I would like to understand what's happened so I can avoid it for future LXCs), but I would like to recover the backup somehow and get the LXC running again.
Any ideas? Please?
