'pct restore' is more like 'pct create' with a backup archive+config as base instead of just a container template. 'qm restore' is really just restoring, with little possibility to change anything on the fly. ___ pve-user mailing list pve-user@pve.proxmox.com https://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user

E.g., calling pct set 100 -mp0 thin1:10,mp=/path/in/container will allocate a 10GB volume on the storage thin1 and replace the volume ID place holder 10 with the allocated volume ID. so the doc (and manpage) explain the configuration file format, not the pct commandline, right? Also, just i'm here: for VMs i can 'detach' additianal volumes, to prevent backup/restore to destroy them; why in LXC it is not possible, eg a restore 'destroy' all container volumes (and there's no way to detach it)?
