Restore Proxmox 1.9 .tgz backups to new 4.4 Server

[PatchDog]

I have been running Proxmox 1.9 for several years now. I run backups of my VMs 3 times a week to a remote NAS SMB share. I just built a new server running 4.4 and need to restore my backup to this new server.

I have tried to run qmrestore but found that the restore runs, but places the restored VM onto my NAS SMB share. Not what I would like to do.

How do I run either qmrestore or pct restore and have it restored to the local-zfs drive?

use --storage as option for the qmrestore-command to point to the right location.

Could you give me an example of the command. Not familiar with all Linux commands.

Cisco IOS a different story.

OK this is what I'm running into trying to run the restore. Anyone have any ideas.

debian squeeze is not a supported version anymore. thats why you cannot migrate into lxc
i'd prefere migration into kvm instead
