Hi,

I have a simple environment with proxmox 2.1 on a Dell and 3 VM running on it.
I Have a qnap storage connected to proxmox in iSCSI for backup the VM every week.

I notice that latest 2 backup give an unexpected error and in my task log i see an old backup tak that seems to be unfinished or appended (see image file)...

In ssh i see a tar process that occupy almost 100% of processor.

How can i solve this?

Thanks.

pls give more details. our backup does not support iSCSI as target, so what are you doing exactly?

I'm sorry, my mistake: you're right, the qnap share via NFS a portion of storage for backup.

I try to stop the backup that seems to be "appended" via task manager and now i try to backup manually the VM's.
I also see via top that tar process no longer appear in top processes.

Thanks for now...

Ps.
I do not have a professional support.

Looking back to the first error on backup task i found this:
