Good morning!

When making backups in Snapshot Mode some containers are having problems. I have to change the Mode in Suspend and then the backup will be succesfull. But I don't want it to Suspend because then the server will go offline.

Running 10 servers with latest Proxmox and Ceph.

Error message when starting backup in Snapshot Mode:

INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 131 --remove 0 --node node004 --storage local --mode snapshot --compress lzo

How can I delete these files that exists? Where are these located?

Thanks in advance!
 
# rbd snap rm <pool-name>/vm-131-disk-2@vzdump
