the two outputs in your first post are from different containers, which doesn't tell us too much about what could be going on.

in either case i suspect it could be storage related

could you please post:

* backup output of container 100 when it's on/off
* same for CT 101
* contents of /etc/pve/storage.conf so we can see what kind of storage you use

thanks

hi,

thanks for the info, i was able to reproduce the issue. i'll take a look and try to come up with a fix

although not fixed yet i've narrowed the issue down to LVM devices and 'stop' mode.

can you try using 'suspend' mode while doing a backup? that could serve as a workaround until this is fixed
