Restoring VM backup

[SistemasSPA]

Hi all!
I can't restore a BACKUP VM. BACKs are ok and don't has any error, but when I try to restore it, I tried this error:

restore vma archive: zstd -q -d -c /mnt/pve/VMs_BCK12/dump/vzdump-qemu-107-2024_09_03-19_00_02.vma.zst | vma extract -v -r /var/tmp/vzdumptmp909140.fifo - /var/tmp/vzdumptmp909140

Can help me, please?

your storage is too slow to allocate the VM disk within 60s.. you can try with preallocation=off on the storage

Hi again, Fabián:

I don't write that option. It appears when I restore a backup from the web panel. It is the text that appears in the restore task. How would I have to restore it to be able to force that option?

[fabian]

you need to set the option on the storage that you restore to..

 

[SistemasSPA]

Ok, but the storage don't exist now. When I restore the backup file, the options of the storage are on it. I can't change this.

I am not sure I follow.. when you restore a backup, the disks are either created on a single restore target storage, or on the original storages from the backed up config. you need to set the option on whichever storage is the right one for your storage task..

 

[SistemasSPA]

As it appears at top of this thread, it can be seen that this parameter is set by itself. It is what the restoration system reads from the backup file. Therefore, even if I create a new disk on which to recover the copy, the information of the original disk of the copy overwrites the destination disk and therefore those options cannot be modified.

[fabian]

no, it's the default value of the "preallocation" option on dir-based storages..

https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_common_storage_properties

set it to "off" for the storage where the disk is created, then a restore will not attempt to pre-allocate the created images.

Now I understand!
Many thanks by your great help!
