Trying to make backup of LXC machine (installed from debian-11-standart_11.0-1_amd64.tar.gz), but it's just hangs on this step forever:

hi,

is your cifs storage working correctly? how fast are the read/write speeds there?

are you able to backup any other containers? for testing you can try creating a smaller container with a different template and try backing it up, so we can narrow down the issue.

also does it work if you pick local storage as backup target?

It's ZFS pool on two NVME Samsung PM983 3.84 TB, on same pool there is anothers VMs (but not LXC), and 100 GB disks backuping for few seconds...
I have try already local and CIFS storage, same issue...
