Recently I've enabled the backup systems that are build in into Proxmox. These features seems to work great, but recently I'm having troubles back-upping some virtual machines.

The error that is emailed to me after the backup job is done, is;
Code:
VM 103 qmp command 'query-backup' failed - got timeout

When I scroll down for the entire log of that specifick VM, I see the following;
Code:

I'm currently running the latest version of Proxmox (4.0-57/cc7c2b53), and the backup location is a remote davfs mounted folder. Now, I've done some searching on the intenet about this matter, but couldn't find that much. What I did found however, was that the problem might be that it is backupping to a remote location. That being said, I wouldn't know how to configure it that way, that it would backup locally and when its done, it would move the entire backup into the remote location. An simple SH script would do the job, but is there a way to execute a shel script once the backup is finished?

I hope someone is able to help me.

Thanks in advance!!

Kind regards,
Rick
