Backup does not end after 6 days

[neilsonwheels]

I am using PBS to backup my 3 Proxmox VE nodes, mainly the essential configuration files.
I do this by running the Proxmox Backup Client on my Proxmox VE nodes.

The backups have been scheduled and running fine for a while, but recently, the backups do not finish. This is happening for all 3 of my PVE nodes.

When I look at the PBS GUI console, I can see that the backups are still running after 6 days or so.

I am using the following script on each node to launch the backup client (sensitive bits have been modified for this post):

#!/bin/sh                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                        
export PBS_PASSWORD="supersecretpassword"                                                                                                                      
export PBS_FINGERPRINT="from PBS server"                                
export PBS_REPOSITORY=PBS Server URL:backup1                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                        
proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --include-dev /etc/pve

Is there something wrong with what I am doing?
How do I manually stop the backups? I tried stopping them from the PBS GUI console by removing the snapshot, but that fails because they are still running.

you can either stop the server-side task if it is still running, or kill the proxmox-backup-client process on the client side..

did it produce any output?

What does strace say the proxmox-backup-client is doing? Does strace become stuck too?
