Problem with LXC Backup

[sebschremser]

Hi Proxmox Community.

We have a problem with our LXC Backup on a single Proxmox Node.

We have configured two LXC Container, where one LXC Container alway backups fine without problem, but the second LXC Container have some issues.
Both backups to a NAS with different CIFS Shares.

Here is the log from the faulty LXC Backup:

hi,

can you try setting a tmpdir in /etc/vzdump.conf and see if it solves the issue?

Hi.

Sorry for the delayed answer. I just heard from my co-worker that this was a permission issue.
After changing the permission the backup just runs fine.

Thanks for you input.
