Creating backups of LXC containers seems to just hang it self..

INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 506 --mode stop --storage Backup --node pve --remove 0 --compress lzo
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 506 (lxc)
INFO: status = running
INFO: backup mode: stop
INFO: ionice priority: 7
INFO: CT Name: erp
INFO: stopping vm
INFO: creating archive '/mnt/backup/dump/vzdump-lxc-506-2017_05_05-20_32_29.tar.lzo'

and it will just chug along like that untill i kill it manually.

Making backup of Virtual machines work like a charm though...

Tried snapshot, suspend and stop.. al with the same result of nothing happening.

Running Proxmox 5 beta now. but was same problem in 4.1 before upgrade.
 
The only one difference is that you can't see the progress. But should work without problems. We have here a lot of containers running. Can you see some things on CMD with "top" (w/a) or with "nload" the networktraffic?
Where you copy your backups? And what HW you are using?
