Hi all,

Last night, in the middle of the backup run, the power went out beyond our battery backup and there was an unclean shutdown of the system. I've brought it back up, but I have several VM's that are locked with the message:

Error: VM is locked (backup)

I know it's not backing up, and is a stale lock from the unclean shutdown - I don't want to remove the wrong lock or leave the system as a whole unstable, but I kinda need these VMs back ;) So how do I properly clear these stale locks?
 
Thank you kind sir! I knew there had to be a way to do it, but my google foo wasn't good this morning :)
