[SOLVED] Backup & Restore LXC container to new Proxmox server issues

[josh.greyz]

Yesterday, I backed up and restored a LXC container to a new Proxmox VE 7.4-17 server using the information in these two resources and it was a new "template" on the new server. Both servers are running Proxmox VE 7.4-17.

1. https://old.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/12gpbt1/export_proxmox_container_to_transfer_it_to_a/
2. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/move-ct-to-another-server.65712/

I instantly noticed that the output of the "df -h" command in the container [3.5G space used vs 1.6G space used] was different on each server (see info at end of this post), but I believe that is because the new server is using ZFS and the old server is using LVM.

** My main issue is that now the service I'm running in that LXC container (Etebase) appears to have some form of delay in its functionality. Are there other steps I need to do to successfully migrate LXC containers between Proxmox VE servers? **

Space used on old server
/dev/mapper/pve-vm--101--disk--0 18G 3.5G 14G 21% /

Space used on new server
rpool/data/subvol-101-disk-0 10G 1.6G 8.5G 16% /

*** UPDATE *** I did nothing and the problem resolved itself... somehow
