To help anybody who need, this is how I make backups and restore my containers on lxd. (Sorry my horrid English). Backup cd /var/lib/lxd/storage-pools/lxd/containers lxc stop <container_name> zfs mount lxd/containers/<container_name> tar --create --verbose --gzip <container_name> --file <path_to_backup_folder>/<container_name>.tgz zfs umount lxd/containers/<container_name> lxc start <container_name> Restore After crash, assuming the containers does not exist cd <temporal_folder> tar --extract --verbose --file=/<path_to_backup_folder>/<container_name>.tgz zfs create lxd/containers/<container_name> -o mountpoint=/var/lib/lxd/storage-pools/lxd/containers/<container_name> ln -s /var/lib/lxd/storage-pools/lxd/containers/<container_name> /var/lib/lxd/containers/<container_name> mv <temporal_folder> /var/lib/lxd/storage-pools>lxd/containers/<container_name> lxd import <container_name> lxc start <container_name> If version of LXD<2.13 before "lxd import": mkdir /var/lib/lxd/storage-pools/lxd/snapshots mkdir /var/lib/lxd/storage-pools/lxd/snapshots/<container_name> I hope it helps anyone who needs it.
