Hi all,

I just discover in 1 PVE server that after 1 working period when everything is normal, the backup process don't start anymore. If I reboot the server, everything is back to normal, but after another period, again...same issue.

Where I need to search for this error?

Thank you.
 
take a look on the backup logs (/var/log/vzdump/)
 
here are the logs of backup's. All files are looking ok...and successful backups! Last file Feb. 15'th. And I have daily backup jobs!
 
hi
what I've seen here is a vzdump process hanging (for different reasons) - then no new backups are made until one kills this hung process..
 
I look in syslog but nothing unusual...a lot of cluster synchronization logs...and that's it. I don't see error logs.

How can I restart the backup process?

I try to restart cron process and this was the output:

I don't see anything. Maybe if I give you all log files into a zip...
 
I still look in log's but no records regarding VZdump....

Anyway I reboot the server and everything it's back to normal. I will try to make a hardware test...maybe it's a hardware failure.
