Hi,
a bit frustrated here, a Windows Server 2016 VM doesn't want to backup on Proxmox VE 5.2-1.
I installed it following this tutorial
https://www.proxmox.com/en/training/video-tutorials/item/install-windows-2016-server-on-proxmox-ve
and applied these best practices
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2012_guest_best_practices
This is the backup command and output:
vzdump 105 --storage backup --mode stop --remove 0 --compress 0 --node deepsky

105: 2019-01-15 16:31:12 ERROR: Backup of VM 105 failed - VM 105 qmp command 'query-backup' failed - got timeout
Backup starts and I see the data file growing on the 'backup' storage (physical disk mounted as a directory on the server). It hangs after about 10 minutes, leaving the VM 'frozen': it's started but unreachable on console and I can only stop it on the web interface.
The backup works fine if I manually shutdown the VM, but I would like to schedule it.
Any help is greatly appreciated... I'm running out of ideas here.
Thanks
Stefano
