Hi there,
I am having an issue running a backup Job. If I run the job (of an LXC that runs ioBroker) as SUSPENDED, I get an error message as follows:

Code:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 200 --node pve --all 0 --mode suspend --storage PBS-DINAX --prune-backups 'keep-last=5' --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --mailnotification failure

Running the backup of the very same LXC, but as SNAPSHOT, all works like a charme. Here is the Task

Code:

TASK OK

I am a very beginner and without any linux knowledge. Since I was having an issue with the PBS week before (I could get no job backuped of no LXC and no VM) I have the slight feeling, that there might be an older "unsuccesful" backup job of the same LXC "stuck" somewhere hidden on the PBS...
But that might be a dumb idea...

Please help :)
Thank
LEM
