Hey guys, I am relatively new to Proxmox so please bare with me here. I just inherited a whole proxmox system from the old admin and now I am trying to make sense of all this. Everything went fine for the last 2 weeks till yesterday. First one backup failed and today it is already the second one.
Here is my error log for the backup.
I already found this article on the forum ( http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/4454-Backup-of-VM-failed-(with-exit-code-5) ) where one of the guys said to exclude '/mnt/ inside the '/etc/updatedb.conf' file and somebody else said to kill the vzdump process and the vmtar process. Those process aren't running though.
Would be great if somebody can tell me what to do without breaking anything
Help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
