TASK ERROR: job errors

Hello, since a couple of days we receive this error in the daily backup job of our VM 123 & 143 (on another proxmox host, so in a different job log). First I checked the other backup jobs and saw that our other backup job starts at 2:00. I changed the other job to start at 3:00, but now this error still shows up.

This is what the Datacenter > Backup page currently looks like:

I do not know why this error keeps showing up, and why it only shows up on two of these VMs & LXCs that get backed up every night.

This error still occurs on a daily basis, now I have scheduled the first job to begin at 04:00, while the other still starts at 23:00:

I am able to remove the files via the synology webui just fine. Only the log & notes file are left, the huge zst file gets removed just fine...

(123 is the CrefoKI VM)

Is there any way to surpress this kind of errors? But I fear that I do not recognize any real failures if I just mute them...

  • Enable Opportunistic Locking: Select to enable "Opportunistic Locking" of SMB, so that the client can better cache file contents and avoid small read/write overhead. When this option is deselected, database applications will perform better in accessing database files stored on the Synology NAS via network.
    • Enable SMB2 lease: Enabling this option allows more SMB2-related settings to fine-tune the client caching mechanism provided by Opportunistic Locking.
I cleared the SMB Cache and diasbled Opportunistic Locking in the File Share on our Synology NAS. Maybe this will help...

The SMB log shows that the Delete was executed just fine. But there is a Rename for the notes file, which seems to cause the errors...
The only files that are left when searching for
Code:
vzdump-qemu-33162-2024_07_12-23_00_03
are the .log & the .notes file:
