### From the Proxmox GUI

- First, log in to the Proxmox Web UI and access the dashboard.

- Next, we have to shut down the LXC Container. So, click the container on the left panel and click Shutdown from the top menu.

- Then, take a backup. So, go to the Backup tab and click Backup now. Keep default settings or customize as needed. Once you click “Backup,” wait for the “TASK OK” message.

- Now, restore as Privileged. So, click on the backup file in the list and click Restore. Then, select ‘Privileged’ under privilege options and click ‘Restore’ again.

- Then, start the container and confirm that it is running in privileged mode.
