Why (what is the problem)?

I can't do manual backup without remove any existing if I have limit to 7 for example

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 105 --compress lzo --remove 0 --storage MACIERZ --mode snapshot --node erasmus[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]ERROR: Backup of VM 105 failed - only 7 backup(s) allowed - please consider to remove old backup files.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]INFO: Backup job finished with errors[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]TASK ERROR: job errors[/FONT][/COLOR]

I'm using limit for automatic rotate my backup files

If you do not want a limit, you can define a second storage where you remove the that limit.
Then use that second storage for manual backups.

I think it's little useless I must create the same storage with some special option if I want do special backup.... but thanks for idea.

The second thing it's annoying for me It's a moment when one of node crash for example out of power and I must find which vm are off because I doesn't have name of vm only id (if I have more than 20 vm I'm sorry but I don't remember id's of vm)
