I was having several failures backing up containers, that looked like this:
The destination of the backup is an NFS-mounted Synology NAS. It looks to me like tar failed to read some of the source files.
But when I changed the vzdump config to put tmp files on local instead of the NAS, all backups worked. Does anyone have
any idea why this error message is so misleading? Thank goodness for the forum where someone had some other problem
that was solved by moving where temp files go. I would never have thought that was the issue.
