Since January 25th This year there is a backup job of the VM running with VMID 103, which is displayed in the dashboard under Tasks.
I now want to change something in the HW configuration of this VM. This doesn't work because then the message "VM is locked (backup) (500)" comes up.
On the other hand, I can't find a way to stop this backup job or kill it using the "kill" command like in Linux Bash.

Do you have a solution on how to stop the backup job?

Best regards
BrotherJ

Hi,

May you please post the processID information about the backup? You can get the information about the process of the backup using like the following command:

ps aux | egrep "vzdump|103"

And please also the VM config `qm config 103`
