Hello,

I was moving the proxmox to a new arrays from ZFS powered backend. I am now running on LVM-Thin on top of an Adaptec-7805 card with ZMM/BBU.

When i was restoring our old zimbra installation i was hit with this bug. The previous installation was Proxmox-ve 5.0 some version i am not sure about. I have 5 backups all worthless, because the backup is missing the partition table for the drives. I was able to restore backup with testdisk, rewrite partitions, activate lvm, redo grub and fix the failed backup from within, but that never happened before. I am able to provide the failed backup file (it has about 50 gigs, but ill send it only in private message, because its mailserver backup i dont want to spread that over the internet).

I am also able to provide any logs you wish.

Code:
root@proxmox:~# cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/1050.conf
boot: c
bootdisk: sata0
cores: 4
ide2: none,media=cdrom
memory: 8192
