LXC backup error

I have an issue when a -stop lxc backup starts. This is the log Proxmox produces. I had no issues with Proxmox4.0.

Code: 
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 106 --mode stop --compress lzo --node proxmox --remove 0 --storage USB
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 106 (lxc)
INFO: status = running
INFO: backup mode: stop

      missing codepage or helper program, or other error

      In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
      dmesg | tail or so.

I've installed the lxc on another Proxmox machine (also 4.1) but it gives me the same output when a backup starts of the container.

I can do a -snapshot backup of the lxc, but it fails also after two or three times.
Is there a solution for this issue?

Upgraded two Promox servers to pve-container: 1.0-37. Both are successful!

Thank you for your support!

Seems like you have a problem of the container not correctly shutting down. You could loop mount it and run fsck on it. You can make a copy of the file first for backup if you don't have a current backup.

Code: 
losetup -f --show /var/lib/vz/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw
fsck /dev/loopx (x=number as shown from previous command output)
losetup -d /dev/loopx

Maybe try suspend backup mode instead of stop.
 
I just executed three times the backup via the "stop" feature. Everything looks fine now.

I have also executed your suggestion. The output shows "clean".

Code: 
root@proxmox:~# losetup -f --show /var/lib/vz/images/106/vm-106-disk-1.raw
/dev/loop0
root@proxmox:~# fsck /dev/loop0
fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
e2fsck 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
/dev/loop0: clean, 54224/262144 files, 223553/1048576 blocks
root@proxmox:~# losetup -d /dev/loop0
