Hello,

When I try to restore a CT created on a 1.3 server on a 2.1 server, it fails
with error "container 101 does not exists" (log below)

I tried with end without option "-force", same result.

I don't see any other error.

Any help or suggest to restore this CT would very appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply.

I understand, of course 1.3 is very old.

But still, could you suggest a procedure, or pointe where to get
more information on how I could manually import these CTs
on the new server.

I searched the forum and the web but couldn't find any
helpfull information.

I really need to transfer these CT, so any suggestions
would be very appreciated.

Thank you

Phil Ten
 
e.g. create a new ct on 2.1 and rsync all files manually.
