So Long story short, I had a problem with my logical volume on my adaptecRAID 10 so I've lost all the disk images but fortunately my automatic backup have been running this same day so I was able to recover nearly all the data but some of the containers wasn't been backed up in the backup task.

So basically I've lost them.
So I would like to make two suggestions about the UI. Since my system is on a separate ssd, the informaitons about the VM were still "engaged" in the structure.
First, it seems impossible to delete a vm entry from the UI since it doesn't find the disk :
It should be possible to delete things like that. Like to delete an entry without deleting the data :
Êtes vous certain de vouloir supprimer la VM 114? Ceci supprimera définitivement toute les données de la VM
TASK ERROR: lvm name '114/vm-114-disk-1.raw' contains illegal characters

Second, when you do a restore and if the disk is not present, you have to do it 2 times. Because the first one it gives of course the same error message since it expects a disk name and not nothing. So it would be great that to have a secondary "if" in the code to detect if there is are isn't a disk present.
So what happens I guess the first time it creates the disk and the second time you run the restore it actually restores the data.
 
Hi,

I've made another restore after a complete cleanout installation, I would like to know why in this case (restore from a vma abckup which backed up a qcow image -> to a qcow image disk) I had no error message? because in my previous case it was a raw image of a vm where there was only a 100.conf exist?
