I found a problem with copying the container to proxmox backup server.
pve 6.4-8, Backup Server 1.1-12. As I understand it, due to old containers, upgrading to the latest versions can make containers non-working.
Initially it was (log) 202: 2023-11-09 18:16:00 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 202 (lxc)

I made a separate lvm partition of 100 GB and mounted it as /tmp, specified it in /etc/vzdump.conf as tmpdir.
And still a mistake

As I see, when backing up, a full copy is made to the temporary folder /mnt/tmpvzdump/vzdumptmp5971_202/ and there is simply not enough space on the temporary partition.
The container is large - 2500 GB, there is no way to make the same tmp partition for it. Or difficult and painful through the network section.
How to make copying not require so much space, but go in chunks or compare parts/blocks without full copying?
Is it possible to solve this with settings? The goal is normal backup operation. There is enough space on pbs.
