All other vm's on the back up schedule work every time, the below vm had never worked, I even migrated to another host with no change.

Here's the error:

Hi,
118: 2020-11-11 16:44:36 INFO: creating Proxmox Backup Server archive 'vm/118/2020-11-11T22:44:36Z'

Is there anything suspicious in the host syslog around that time?
 
I can run the backup job manually on only that one VM Template and still fails. I have other running VM's and another Template and those work fine. Right now no one is using the VM's so all hosts are more or less idle during the backups. I see nothing else in the logs to indicate anything going on at the time of backup. Somehow its just this one VM, just not seeing anything in the logs to tell me what it is.
