hi,

I have a cluster with a master and one node.
I had to stop a VKM (w7 if that matters) on the node, but then this KVM refused to start.
I then issued a "qm start ..." on the node, and saw it was locked with a backup, I then noted that backups was not done on the node since 2 days (they still worked ok on the master)
I unlocked the VM with "qm unlock ...", and I could start it again.
Looking at processes, I saw that there was 2 vzdump in progress, since 2 days, on a KVM VM.
I killed these 2 vzdump, that seemed to put things back to work.

but...

now, vzdump issued directly on the node work without problem, but automated backups or "vzdump --node 2..." issued from the master doesn't do anything, it just return without starting anything on the node, and I have not been able to find anything in the logs about some error, be it in the master or the node...

I rebooted the node to no avail.

What should I check now?

Code:
# pveversion -v
