Why proxmox try backup 700G Container in /var/tmp (50g free space)?!

Backup storage have 10tb+ free space, but backup process try use /var/tmp.

Strange idea!
 
mode failure - some volumes do not support snapshots
Or you can make this work so it doesn't need temporary storage. Please share this in code blocks (not quotes like above)
Bash:
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
cat /etc/pve/jobs.cfg
pct config 113
lsblk -o+FSTYPE,LABEL,MODEL
Alternatively use stop mode but snapshot support is important and should be fixed if possible.

I use NFS 4.x mount (over Infiniband RDMA) to remote nvme disk. VM can do snapshots. Containers can't.
