Dear community,

I'm facing a critical issue with my Proxmox VE setup and could really use your expertise to resolve it.
Here's a brief overview:

I recently installed Proxmox VE and had iobroker running smoothly in an LXC container for a day or two. However, when I attempted to create a backup, I encountered a "No Buffer Space Available" error.

The syslog in Proxmox VE looks like - see below
RAM and HDD should be plenty around - also see below.

I am unable to start or perform any actions with the LXC. Additionally, when I mouse over the node in the Proxmox web UI, I receive the following message: Status unknown, Config locked (backup)

Apparently something went wrong with the backup.
I would highly appreciate any solutions, hints, or thoughts you may have regarding this error. It's causing a significant disruption, and any assistance would be invaluable.

Thank you all in advance for your time and support.

Best regards,
rolaja

That's not good:

Please post the output of dmesg in CODE-Tags or attach the file.
