Good evening everyone,
first of all thanks to those who can help me!

Below is the error:

In the VM, it is a Windows 2019 DC, I have performed analysis and chkdsk / F on the volumes (NOT SSD), the results are all positive ...

How to fix to re-backup this VM?

Greetings
 
Hi,

ist there any error in the syslog/journalctl during the backup time?

Thank you for the Syslog and the smartctl!

Looks like the nvme storage has a problem. Is the backup job works on the "local" storage?

local-lvm is nvme where is vm-100-disk-0

bck is on hdd 8Tb (is other storage)

Do you have any idea how to fix the error on "Buffer I/O error on dev dm-6"?
 
Could you please share the VM config and the output of lvs command? you can get the VM config using the qm config {VMID} CLI
