so I had to restore from backup one of my VMs and the restore went fine. Today I went to snapshot it, and proxmox told me that it could not snapshot it.. I went to the VM config and noticed that it now has 2 virtual hard disks that look like the following.
Hard Disk (virtio0) backups:102/vm-102-disk-0.raw size=112G
Hard Disk (virtio1) backups:102/vm-102-disk-1.raw size=212G

Im scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck happened here.. The VM is up and running fine,
but the disk config is definitely not correct.
Can someone please hit me with a cluestick on how to correct this? ;)

Did you possibly have two disks to start out with b/c of EFI, and then you switched to a one-disk arrangement, and then back to two disks arrangement, so you had disks that were not attached but existing, and then you attached the wrong one as a second disk?
 
Ok I had a chance to look at it more closely and I believe I added the second disk and moved all my LVMs over to it and never removed the old disk. So I believe thats right.. I was able to move the disk images from the backup storage to their normal storage (zfs storage) and now I can take snapshots again..
