I have a job doing a backup of some VM's every 15 minutes, they work most of the time but every few days they error out for a cycle or two and then start working again.

The error on the job log is:

Backup of VM 112 failed - error listing snapshots - 500 read timeout

Where can I start looking to troubleshoot this?

TIA!
 
Hi,

it seems that your PBS is slow to respond with the list of current backups, there's not enough info to be sure, but this is done for pruning from the PVE side for example. Please post/attach the full task log to confirm that so that.
