I ran a backup job to my pbs datastore, and received the following:
Code:
...
INFO: issuing guest-agent 'fs-freeze' command
INFO: issuing guest-agent 'fs-thaw' command
ERROR: VM 102 qmp command 'backup' failed - backup register image failed: command error: No such file or directory (os error 2)
INFO: aborting backup job
ERROR: Backup of VM 102 failed - VM 102 qmp command 'backup' failed - backup register image failed: command error: No such file or directory (os error 2)
...

Now I did have the wrong "Storage" location, in which I had already run a backup, so I updated that value. Then since I was getting errors, I deleted the job, created a new one, hoping it would fix this, but it hasn't.
BTW, my first initial run was actually set to local. So am I safe to delete all the (backup files?) here: /var/lib/vz/dump ?
 
can you post the pve (pveversion -v) and pbs (proxmox-backup-manager version --verbose) versions as well as the vm config (qm config ID)?
