[SOLVED] Backup job stuck - Config locked (backup)

[subjectx]

Greetings,

One of the VMs should backup in the morning, but it didnt. In Logs, that wheel is spining in the line with Backup job description.

Hard to restart VM, because it runs DB for alot of applications constantly in use.

What to do?

In case it's just a random, one off error, you can use qm unlock <vmid> to unlock the VM. If this throws any errors, please post the output. Otherwise, if the problem persists, please also post syslogs for around the time of the backup.

Ahh, false alarm. One of the containers suddenly got big (intentionally) so first backup job took 12 hours.

The problem with slow read/write on this server is still not solved, but will do this in separate thread.

Thank-you dylanw, this work perfectly.
qm unlock <vmid>
