Hello!

I run a regular pve -> pbs backup. However, I can no longer backup a certain container, as it always fails with:

Code:
Error: unable to acquire lock on snapshot directory "/mnt/vm_backups/ct/101/2022-12-20T20:44:42Z" - base snapshot is already locked by another operation

No other backup task is running (no verification either). I even rebooted both the pve and pbs machines, but the lock persists. Can I manually remove this lock? I do not know, where it would be located.

Other containers backup fine on the same backup task.

Thanks in advance.
 
Sorry, please disregard. Ther was indeed a running verification task on the backup server that I overlooked.. :rolleyes:
