I have a backup job that backs up the entire Proxmox server. So far I have 3 VM's and a template. ID's 100, 101, 102, and 901 respectively.

All three machines are backing up fine, but the template (901) is failing.

Code:

Running the failed command manually on the proxmox server doesn't seem to yield anything useful:

I am experiencing this problem with a template with a virtual TPM. If I detach the TPM the backup succeeds.

this is a different error message and in fact a different issue (affecting non-PBS template backups). The good news is that there is a patch for it (finally got around to send the v2 today), but it still needs to be reviewed/applied/packaged.
