Unable to Convert OpenVZ to LXC

[Crossedfall]

I've been banging my head against this issue for a while. I am coming from a pure OpenVZ setup looking to migrate into ProxMox. I have create backups of all of my containers (both compressed and not). I have also setup ProxMox on-top of an already installed Debian system.

I cannot, however, manage to convert the backups. Regardless as to what I try I am always met with the following error:

Attempting to go to the config file location yields no results since the conversion never actually takes place..

Edit: Realized I forgot to include the OS and all that. The container is running Debian 8 generated from one of the default OpenVZ templates.

Hi,

try to make a new CT and use as Template the OpenVZ backup.
