[SOLVED] Previous backup not finished

Hi All

The backup was stopped, because of other issues but all backup attempts fail.

Ok well after about 5 hours the problem cleared. No idea how to fix this in a shorter time period.

Just delete the appropriate .tmp dir on your backup storage and try again.
For example smth like /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-qemu-XXX-202X_XX_XX-XX_XX_XX.tmp in standard "local" storage (be careful not to drop .tmp dirs for any active backup).
