ERROR: Backup of VM 110 failed - no storage ID specified

[triptolemus]

Hello.

Title says it. One particular VM backup operation results in the error below. This is trying to backup to PBS, but the error is the same if I change to local or anything else. Other VMs are backing up fine without error. Running it from terminal is the same. Not sure where else to look for more helpful information. "storage" appears to be specified as --storage pbs1 which is very much present. Curiously, when I set scsi1 to backup=0, the backup completes successfully. With this in mind, I have tried to detach the drive and reassign it (qm set); doesn't help. The VM functions fine otherwise.

Any advice here?

Hi,
thank you for the report! This is an oversight for passed-through disks. A fix has been sent the the mailing list.
EDIT: a version with the fix, i.e. qemu-server=7.4-3, is available on the no-subscription repository.

this is not the version of the qemu-server package, but of the pve-manager package. Use pveversion -v on the CLI or the [your node] > Summary > Package versions in the UI to check it.

If you actually have a recent enough qemu-server package, please share the full log, the VM's configuration and output of pveversion -v.

Hi,
as written in this thread already, please check that you have a new enough qemu-server package installed:

You can edit the disks in the GUI and deselect the Backup checkbox in the advanced settings to exclude the disks from backup.

I am sorry but I cannot fined it. where roughly should it be ?

Select the disk in the VM's Hardware view. Edit it and enable the advanced settings and you should see the Backup checkbox.
