Backup failing.

[sherbmeister]

Hi guys, I keep getting backup fail on all of my containers/vms.

INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 597 --node auriga --storage ftp-newton --remove 0 --compress zstd --mode snapshot --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --notification-mode auto

INFO: Backup job finished with errors

Any suggestions?

Also, another issue I'm getting is after I setup email notifications on one of my PVE, I get this error

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:

Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], 29 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

Device info:
WDC WD4000FYYZ-01UL1B1, S/N:WD-WCC131086921, WWN:5-0014ee-25e4649f9, FW:01.01K02, 4.00 TB

could this mean my hdd is failing? It's mounted and used within a TrueNAS VM and TrueNAS isn't reporting anything about this issue.

Thanks.

After digging a bit, I found out that it was about my storage type. Snapshot is only supported by ZFS and LVM-Thin. So a fix is to just do the backup in "Suspend mode".

Still not sure about the HDD error thing though.

Hi,
the backup task you posted shows that the backup was already done in suspend mode (as a fallback):

INFO: mode failure - some volumes do not support snapshots

You can use tools like smartctl to check your disk health. I'd also check the system logs/journal for any errors around the time the issue happened.
