Restore on Proxmox 7 a backup done from OpenVZ 4.9 under CentOs 6.9

[sesa]

I am working on a project, where I am trying to convert some VMs (containers) from OpenVZ to Proxmox 7.3 .
I made a Backup using the following command:

#vzdump <vmid>

Then I copy the created file to ProxMox Server and tried to restore it.



then...




after all what I receive is this error message:



Use of uninitialized value $version in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/Fedora.pm line 14.
Use of uninitialized value $version in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC/Setup/Fedora.pm line 14.
Logical volume "vm-1049-disk-0" successfully removed
TASK ERROR: unable to restore CT 1049 - unsupported Fedora release ''


Can Anyone help me here.... I need to finish this restore.

Hi,
what version of Fedora is installed in the container? Or is it even Fedora? It seems that the version cannot be determined. Note that on Proxmox VE 7.3, Fedora versions from 22 to 38 are supported.

You could try manually restoring with pct create <ID> <archive> --restore --ostype unmanaged to skip the version check, but this also skips OS type specific setup.

This command helps a lot.
