We have Proxmox Cluster with a few CT's and a lot of VM's. Every night all CT's and VM's are backupped to a Proxmox Backup Server.

I noticed an error for some CT's with the following error:

110: 2024-04-11 00:00:42 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 110 (lxc)
110: 2024-04-11 00:00:42 INFO: status = running

Shutting down the CT and booting it fixes the backup error and creates a valid backup of the CT.

What I notice is that this happens when the CT's are being migrated to another host when updating and rebooting a host bc of a new kernel. CT is being shutdown on host and started on a different host but apparently the Proxmox Backup Server doesn't get it when it wants to perform a backup during the night?
