Hello,
I have a backup problem on my proxmox which is in version 8.2.7
When I launch a backup of a VM randomly, the backup is not done and it freezes the VM that I have to stop then start.

Here are the backup logs:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 103 --compress zstd --notification-mode auto --remove 0 --notes-template '{{guestname}}' --mailto xxxxx@gmail.com,xxxxx@gmail.com --storage nas-asnnet --node pve --mode snapshot
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 103 (qemu)
INFO: Backup started at 2025-01-23 08:15:07
INFO: status = running
INFO: VM Name: mkt-l2tp
INFO: include disk 'scsi0' 'local:103/vm-103-disk-0.qcow2' 1G
INFO: backup mode: snapshot
INFO: ionice priority: 7
INFO: creating vzdump archive '/mnt/pve/nas-xxxxx/dump/vzdump-qemu-103-2025_01_23-08_15_06.vma.zst'
ERROR: got timeout
INFO: aborting backup job
ERROR: VM 103 qmp command 'backup-cancel' failed - unable to connect to VM 103 qmp socket - timeout after 5993 retries
INFO: resuming VM again

Are there any other logs that could help me find the problem?

Thanks

Anthony
 
my NFS mount goes through an L2TP VPN to avoid exposing it on the Internet.
I've done some simple ping tests and I've never had a packet lost.
