Hello Proxmoxers!

I am stuck. I have a production pve running multiple guest windows vms. All is great on most vm guests, however, one guest vm is running windows 10 with a specific server application and every time the scheduled backups attempt to run a snapshot on this guest vm id to my proxmox backup server, that specific guest vm crashes. If I manually start the snapshot backup command and watch for the vm guest to flip from green arrow to file icon and on the command line type qm unlock <id of the vm> the lock icon switches back to green arrow and the snapshot completes just fine.

I cannot do this manually every day / week. I need to pass this argument at the start of the backup scheduling tasks. Any idea how to do this?

Thank you!
