Hi Guys,

since 6 Days i get the following error with backupping my Win10 QEMO machine.
I don't have any idea how to fix it, because of the small error message.

Code:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 105 --storage Data1_Backup1 --remove 0 --mode snapshot --compress zstd --node pve

What could i check or do to solve this problem?

thx
 
ERROR: job failed with err -5 - Input/output error
That means a Problem with the VM Image or with the target storage. All other VM's running fine in backup? Your traget is writeable? Your local storage, or the storage where your Windows10 is running, is also ok?

Yes, other VM on the same Storage works as expected an all other backups to the Target also just works... Anyone knows where i could find more Information about the Problem?
 
Yes, thanks. Right :) So please post your VMconfig.
no Problem :) - nothing special in vm config:

bootdisk: virtio0

cpu: host
ide2: none,media=cdrom

vmgenid: a029f134-73bf-451c-b7b6-91f69d68cca9[/CODE]

For test please change your backupcomrpession to LZO, or "no compression".

same Problem - the compression doesn't change anything - and i've also changed the backup target, no success:
Code:

thats why i think it has to do with the source? how does source gets corrupted, than it cant be read?
 
no Errors - nothin to repair...

Code:
qemu-img check -r all /mnt/vm02/vm/images/105/vm-105-disk-0.qcow2
No errors were found on the image.
1048576/1048576 = 100.00% allocated, 0.00% fragmented, 0.00% compressed clusters
Image end offset: 68730224640
 
i have a working backup from 28.05.2020 - will try to restore this and do a backup.

EDIT: this works ootb
