vzdump error

[mndave668]

Hello,
I am using proxmox 1.6 and all my other vm's backup fine but of course my most important one gets this error:
command 'qm set 106 --lock backup' failed with exit code 255
I have done the unlock and tried to manually do the dump but I get this same error.

Any suggestions would be great

THanks!!

Why do you want to 'lock' the VM??

I don't, this is the error I get from the vzdump notification. I have not been able to get a good recent dump from this vm.

seems your vm is locked. so it cannot be locked again.

unlock with:

qm unlock VMID

unlock with:

qm unlock VMID

I did try this, what could cause a lock?

E.g. a failed Backup Job.
