Not sure if this belongs here or in PBS section, but during backup I rebooted my VM, the console now stays black and I am unable to reset the VM.

Now since the backup is still running, I understand the lock, but since a snapshot was created shouldn't I be able to just reboot/reset the VM or is this by design?
 
The lock is probably there to prevent any backup-breaking changes, like migrating to a different host or storage for example, but a lock is an all-or-nothing kind of deal in proxmox for VM's as far as I know
