Hi,

I can't backup some of my VMs via PBS (v2.3-3 / encrypted), it always generates the following error message:

Code:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 201 --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --mode snapshot --storage pbs-mi --node pve --remove 0

Note: PVE v7.4-3 is installled

Any idea how to fix that issue?

Last backup was successful created at the 23.03.2023 and the following changes were done by me:
- PBS hostname/ssl certificate got changed
- I have upgraded my PVE from version 7.3.x to the latest

Hi,
thank you for the report! This is an oversight for passed-through disks. A fix has been sent the the mailing list.

Just ran into the same issue this morning. Is there a work around until a fix is implemented.

a version with the fix, i.e. qemu-server=7.4-3, is already available on the no-subscription repository.

@fiona Thank you for the prompt response.

The issue more or less compelled me to stop procrastinating. I ended up moving the machine off the pass-through drive and onto proper PVE storage. Plus, it sounds like there are some other limitations on volumes which are not managed by PVE.

Thanks again.
