I made a gzip backup and restore seems to work again. I'm honestly not sure where the backups were failing (as it was consistently failing) before, but it seems to be all right now after the PVE update. I've also lowered the size of the VM root disk in case that had some impact...
I updated to the latest version and backed up to NFS again (using zst this time) where a restore worked. It's however a lot smaller (~90GB) compared to the previous failing gzip backup which was ~250GB.
Thanks for the suggestions. Does vma verify get run before it's compressed? One of my gzip...
Thanks fabian. That could be the case - could a feature request be submitted to detect when such a write issue may happen? I imagine it may be tricky to catch.
Regarding the backup storage setup in question: my PVE node1 has a NFS drive mounted via the PVE GUI, and that NFS storage is provided...

My older (1+ month old) backups also appear to be corrupted - proxmox fails extracting them at around 90% again. I will be rebuilding the server from my archived 6+ month old backup, then I will re-run the backup with the new code to see if it still happens.
Question: how does...
For sure, please see below and let me know if you'd like me to run anything else.
Regarding backing up without compression, that seemed to be the fix from another thread so I changed my backup schedule going forward. Right now, however, I'm trying to recover the VM (if possible) as I hadn't...
The backup target is NFS storage, mounted via the PVE GUI (under Datacenter). I agree it seems like it did not backup successfully, but PVE reported that the backup was successful.
I receive mail notifications on the backup job results (setup via the GUI) and I just noticed that the email log...
I have a problem right now where I tried to restore a VM to a backup that has been completing successfully, but upon restore shows as corrupted.
The backup is via gzip to a NFS-mounted directory within a Proxmox node running the latest updates (Virtual Environment 6.2-11, kernel 6.2-5). The VM...
