tar.lzo backups will not restore in PVE4 Beta

[gob]

Hi

I have a PVE 4 Beta installation in test at the moment.
I have a handful of non-critical LXC guests running on there. I have been backing them up to a remote NFS mount using LZO compression.
After a power failure I am trying to restore one of the tar.lzo backups. When I select it in the NFS storage an hit the restore button it does nothing. Restoring a tar.gz gives me the usual restore dialog box but I get nothing for the tar.lzo backups.

I have extracted the lzo file and I can see the file structure of the backed up LX container so I assume the backup is OK.
I have tried to restore using vzrestore but I get 'command not found'. Is that not included with PVE4 or is there a different tool for LXC?

As an alternative is there a way to convert the tar in the backup to for example a .raw disk format so I can mount that as a container?

thanks for any suggestions?

AFAIK the current LXC backup code is simply broken (backups wrong files) - we already have fixes in git.
For restore, pves use

# pct restore ...

instead of vzrestore

Thanks Dietmar
I ran an update and it at least starts to restore now, although it seems to be taking a long time for a small container ;-)
