Re:[SOLVED]-[BUT NO EXPLANATION] Problem with backup qemu/kvm VID

The suggested command solves the situation of the locked VM.
But I am more curious what can possibly be the reason that the VM is stuck in the backup-process and or locked.
The log-file doesn't tell me any useful information.

Another backup process still running?
Or you had a power failure previously?
Or rebooted the node during backup in progress?

How were you able to change the ID of the guest? Im battling to set the id over 100 so that vzdump will work.
