We are running a proxmox cluster of two nodes for the last few week. Last week I created backup tasks for some of our VMs (all openvz containers) and at first they were running well but then I mirgated all VMs on the second cluster node to update the first to the latest version of proxmox ve (1.1 -> 1.3). The VMs except of three were moved back to the first node and backup is running well for them but it seems that the other VMs are not removed from the cronjob of the first node. I removed the veids manually using the shell but I think this is a bug.

If a VM was migrated between two host the backup configuration has to be updated. With my setup (two nodes both with latest 1.3) this bug is reproduceable by the following steps:

1. Create a backup task for an arbitrary openvz container
2. Migrate this container to the other node using the webinterface
3. Take a look at your backup configuration. The veid of the migrated container should be listed for the backup of the first node.

its a known issue. vzdump gui creates a local cron job on each node and this does not update in case of any migration or remove.
