Please help me, thank you guys!
 
Most likely the error:
zstd: /*stdout*\: Input/output error
is caused by the destination storage device limitations or the outgoing NW leading to it.

Do smaller backups to the same storage destination complete successfully?

Based on this rather slow speed, I would try limiting the bwlimit: attribute in /etc/vzdump.conf

Note: AFAIK the value is in Kilobytes per second (I've never messed with this).

So maybe start with bwlimit: 10000 (about double the speed you've indicated) - and then work down/up from there.

The other backups to that destination is ok, maybe you are right, it is due to network because the storage is in other location
