Problems with restore!

Hope someone can help, I am running HA on a VM on proxmox, currently for over a year with no major problems. I was on the latest update , 2022.6.7 and os 8.1. I made an error and resized my storage to larger that its size! I decided to take the opportunity to replace the drive with a 500gb ( was (250) . i inserted the disk , set it up using Kanga-Who/home-assistant/blob/master/Home%20Assistant%20with%20Proxmox%20installation.md, which worked great. However when Ha started with a different Ip I changed that to original and rebooted, connected to HA and tried to install my backup, but after several hours nothing !! the homeassistant log stated influxdb could not be connected to! I have tried to get this to work several ways but with the same result. The strange thing is when i connect the original disk it starts no problem BUT always restarts saying os 8.2 update is available even though i installed it before doing the backup ! I have given up until and reinstalled the original disk until I can find a sensible solution , all suggestions gratfully received .
