Managed to lose all containers help

[Markus_Heckmann]

thanks for the reply.

I was a bit in a hurry though lxd did not start, copy worked OK. So managed to lxd remote copy these to remote server and move them back later.

zfs mount zpooldata3/lxd/containers/bionic-selenium
zfs mount zpooldata3/lxd/containers/xenial-b
zfs mount zpooldata3/lxd/containers/trusty-android
lxd import bionic-selenium
lxd import xenial-b
lxd import trusty-android

after this add remote.
copy to remote

purge my local LXD
install from backports 3.0.1
Copy back everything from remote

Finally did this so that next time I save my time

Best way to move /var/lib/lxd onto zfs for snap based backups

If everything, containers and /var/lib/lxd is on zfs, then it seems true that I should be able to send and receive the snapshots and have everything working at destination as an exact copy of the src. Do people agree that this should work? (I will install lxd at destination so that init script, log dir etc is created). how would you go about doing the initial migrati…

Thanks a lot…
