Problem with local backups

[Alternativende]

Hi,
im in trouble with backing up two VM´s on a small Proxmox server. Backup should be done locally and works for one machine every time.

But the second one fails on every try with the following message:

  103: Aug 23 02:29:18 INFO: status: 15% (114359533568/751619276800), sparse 0% (5045145600), duration 5587, 16/16 MB/s
  103: Aug 23 02:29:18 ERROR: vma_queue_write: write error - Broken pipe
  103: Aug 23 02:29:18 INFO: aborting backup job
  103: Aug 23 02:29:20 INFO: resume vm
  103: Aug 23 02:29:21 INFO: vm is online again after 5590 seconds
  103: Aug 23 02:29:24 ERROR: Backup of VM 103 failed - vma_queue_write: write error - Broken pipe

Here are some things that may be useful.

~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                   10M     0   10M   0% /dev
tmpfs                 3.2G  396K  3.2G   1% /run

/dev/sdb1             917G   72M  871G   1% /media/backup
/dev/fuse              30M   16K   30M   1% /etc/pve

fstab

/dev/sdb1 /media/backup ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

An important thing to mention could be that he always fails at 15%. Both disks are 1TB.

I don´t know which logs could be useful, if you miss anything please give me a hint.

Thanks!

Hi,

can you post the output of the following command:

cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

If using the CLI, can you post also the used command?

Hi,
yes sure, here you go:

dir: local
    path /var/lib/vz
    shared
    content images,iso,vztmpl,rootdir
    maxfiles 0

dir: Backup
    path /media/backup
    shared
    content images
    maxfiles 100

dir: BackupVM
    path /media/backup
    shared
    content images,backup
    maxfiles 4

No currently im not using the CLI to start the backups. Just the webinterface.

OK, now please post the output of the following command, so I can see which options are you using:

cat /var/log/syslog | grep "starting new backup job"

and possibly the whole system log part regarding the failed (and the successful) backup.

Hey,
im sorry but unfortunately it works now... I have no idea why but there were two runs successful without changing anything. So i think it´s ok now somehow.

Thanks!
