Worked perfectly. If I would have looked bit closer before posting I would have found that here as well.

Hope we have the equivalent of pvebash for lxc ? This will help in navigating into stopped containers especially troubleshooting when they fail to start.
Type:
lxc --> TAB TAB
lxc-attach lxc-checkconfig lxc-config lxc-destroy lxc-freeze lxc-ls lxc-start lxc-unfreeze lxc-wait
lxc-autostart lxc-checkpoint lxc-console lxc-device lxcfs lxc-monitor lxc-stop lxc-unshare
lxc-cgroup lxc-clone lxc-create lxc-execute lxc-info lxc-snapshot lxc-top lxc-usernsexec
man XXX
but use "pct" instead of
Best Reards
When an LXC container is stopped can we use pct enter <VMID> to perform say a "wget ...." since lxc does not have a real mounted state? If not, is there a way to navigate into a stopped lxc container and if not, will there ever be one made for it?
A wiki page on the limitations of LXC as available in Proxmox currently would be useful for end users to make the choice to migrate from OpenVZ.
In Proxmox v4.0, what is the way to allow OpenVZ containers to exist in native mode without migration? If not, how is OpenVZ installed in Proxmox v4.0 to allow it to co-exist with LXC?
There is a HOWTO on installing and using Proxmox v4 on Jessie.
Is there a similar one for using Proxmox v3.4 that will allow for continued use of OpenVZ after wheezy's EOL.
Are there any issues in using the HOWTO for a Wheezy Install for installing Proxmox v3.4 on Jessie?

I have some problem on lxc.
I made backup every day at 03:00. Backup normaly take around ~40 minuts, but now on some VM he still progress ~5h later and crash some VM. How can I fix it?

I killed process, unlock VM, restart and VM work, but the backup isn't done other VM.
Where I can find more log? Where can be problem?

Note that you are not using snapshot mode, because your storage does not support snapshots:
It seems you are affected by the issue described in https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lxc-backup-randomly-hangs-at-suspend.25345
If you could provide information about the processes running in the container when this issue occurs, as well as the container's full config and the output of pveversion -v it might be possible to find the cause...
