Hello,

Can you please try to set the `tmpdir` variable in the `/etc/vzdump.conf` to a world writable such as /tmp and test the backup again?
 
no change, but I just realized the console in proxmox web interface no longer works for any container however SSH works fine:

Hello,

You can try to use Backup Mode "Snapshot" instead of "Stop" or make sure that there is enough space available on the local disk to fit the mountpoint / rootfs of the container into the /tmp directory.

i had tried all three, all did the same error.

i fixed it though: i had to stop the container, mount the disk image file in a tmp directory, and remove
Code: 
(container root)/dev/lxc-125.log
, which was not present when the container was running.

I understand this is an old thread, but I got there when googling: "cant backup unprivileged container".

I had few containers that were set to privileged and were backing up without any problems and few unprivileged that errored with the following message:

Code:

My situation was as @Moayad described - backup location on NFS share (exported from Synology), and his suggestion also fixed my problem.

I have opened console, and did:
Code: 
nano -w d /etc/vzdump.conf

then uncommented tmpdir line and changed it to:
Code: 
# vzdump default settings


tmpdir: /tmp
 
Another option would be to make sure that UID 0 as well as UID 100000 got rights to write to the backup storage.

I was afraid that I would have to do that. Fortunately, the other solution worked.

The reason why I didn't want to do anything with access rights is that I'm using Synology and quite disappointingly, it doesn't even have user/password authentication for NFS (it authenticates only by IP address). The whole UI for managing NFS looks quite bare, more like "let's just throw in the NFS, but nobody will use it anyway".

I could probably change those UIDs somehow on Proxmox box, but I want to leave the configuration as close to default as possible, so I can add/retire more nodes without wondering why it works on one of them, but not on the others.

The other option would be to set up CIFS/SMB share, but I wanted to use something more native to Linux.

Hello,

i open a new thred https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/backup-only-unprivileged-container-failed.156322/#post-713941

here the next problem.
Use Proxmox with one Backup Share on my MediaOpenVault as a NFS Share.
3 LXC container
* 101 pihole priviliged
* 103 NextCloud unpriviliged
use an CIFS Share on my MediaOpenVault
* 105 Jellyfin unpriviliged
2 VM
* 100 Ubuntu with Docker FHEM;MYSQL,ZigBee2MQTT ...
* 104 Home Assistant

i use only one Backup job
only 103 Nextcloud has a error.

/etc/fstab
Code: 
#Backup Mount vom NAS
192.168.10.3:/Backup  /mnt/pve/NASBackupNeu  nfs  defaults 0 0
#Mount Media for jellyfin LXC 105
192.168.10.3:/  /mnt/media  nfs  defaults 0 0
#Mount Nextcloud for nextcloud LXC 103

i give the mountingpoint to my LXC container

Why i use an Share on my OMV für data on Nextcloud?
So, my idea was, on OMV i have 2 datastore on differnet Disk:
* Nextcloud
* NextcloudBackup
every day, a rsync job duplicate data from Nextcloud to Nextcloudbackup

at the moment i'm standing in the forest and can't find my way out
thanks
