hi, logfile says:
dev:/backup# cat vzdump-qemu-11010-2010_01_07-04_05_00.log
Jan 07 04:05:00 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 11010 (qemu)
Jan 07 04:05:00 INFO: stopped
Jan 07 04:05:00 INFO: status = stopped
Jan 07 04:05:00 INFO: backup mode: stop

now - it absolutely would have worked - backup goes to local dir and nfs is not needed here... but backup simply isn't done.

also qm startup is disabled:
dev:~# qm startall
Starting Qemu VM 11010
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '192.168.222.222' failed: System Error: Connection refused
command '/bin/mount -t nfs 192.168.222.222:/nfs/proxmox-templates /mnt/pve/templates' failed with exit code 32

though those templates are not needed for anything to run the kvm...

now it can (obviously) happen that the nfs storage holding the disk templates and so on gets unavailable (read: server moved to new housing) - any advice on getting this sound?

ups - solved - there was indeed a cdrom-iso mounted from this ugly nfs-storage.
but - one questions stays - why did the backup fail?

Code:
Jan 07 04:05:00 ERROR: Backup of VM 11010 failed - command '/bin/mount -t nfs 192.168.222.222:/nfs/proxmox-templates /mnt/pve/templates' failed with exit code 32

because a NFS server is not available, and the VM uses an iso from that storage?
