Backups hanging

hi,

I run a snapshot backup at night of several KVMs. It seems to be hit and miss of when it runs and when it does not. In the background I can see the process running a vmtar etc of which I don't know why its doing this as I have told it not to compress files.

If I look in the log for the particular VM that the backup has failed on -

Sep 15 02:00:01 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 101 (qemu)
Sep 15 02:00:02 INFO: running
Sep 15 02:00:02 INFO: status = running

Sep 15 12:27:37 INFO: Finished Backup of VM 101 (10:27:36)

the terminate process is me killing the process off as its just hung. It then proceeds to carry on with the rest of the other KVMs its supposed to backup. I can access the NFS backup storage no problem and the physical server has over 1TB of free space. The physical box itself is a brand new Dell server with 16GB RAM, SATA disks in hardware RAID1.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

thanks
