We have been using proxmox on 3 physical servers for many years
We backup VM twice a week from one machine to another.
We have a total of a clique of VMs on one server running 4 to 7 virtuals.
For the past several months, two of the VMs have been shutting down at night after the backup is finished. This does not always happen once or twice a month. I can't figure out what is the reason for these VMs shutting down after a task is completed.

VM when stop today is VM =105
Mchine from backup Start is Proxmox2 >> backa save to Proxmox3.
We have problem stop only VM = 105,109 another VM is ok

Hi,
the kernel log shows that your system ran out of RAM and had to kill off a process to recover. That process was the VM.
