Hi All,

i have 3 debian vm's running and now I'm trying to backup them.

Proxmox Version: 2.1-14 (no bare-metal install)

The first 2 run fine, third shows following info in task viewer:

INFO: Starting Backup of VM 105 (openvz)
INFO: CTID 105 exist mounted running

How can I get it to work?

Thanks Christian
 
before digging deeper, upgrade to latest version (3.0). 2.1 is quite outdated.
 
the error

INFO: mode failure - unable to detect lvm volume group

is a good hint.
