My main hardware node has a failing disk, so I have setup a new centos 5.4 based hardware node using the latest available OpenVz code.

I have been using VZdump to take nightly backups of my containers to an offsite backup provider.

I have copied the tar files on to the new hw node and attempted to restore them using vzrestore. I get almost identical output on all of my containers:

Quote:

[root@server7667 restore]# vzrestore /restore/880470.tar 880470
INFO: restore openvz backup '/restore/880470.tar' using ID 880470
INFO: extracting archive '/restore/880470.tar'
INFO: tar: ./usr/bin/sudo: Cannot hard link to `./usr/bin/sudoedit': No such file or directory
INFO: tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
ERROR: restore openvz backup '/restore/880470.tar' failed - command 'tar xpf /restore/880470.tar --totals --sparse -C /vz/private/100010' failed with exit code 2

I am desperate to get these containers restored, can anyone point me in the right direction?
