question: because virtual machines are blocked

[Proxmoxgoogle]

I have a doubt

I had a problem when backing up a virtual machine the error in the log was

ERROR: Backup of VM 101 failed - command 'qm set 101 --lock backup' failed: exit code 255 Reading in the forum I found the solution, I had to put the command I try to create a backup of the container (LXC) in my Proxmox and I receive the error: INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 206 --node myserver --mode snapshot --storage backups-stor --remove 0 --compress lzo INFO: Starting Backup of VM 206 (lxc) INFO: status = running ERROR: Backup of VM 206 failed - CT is locked (backup) INFO: Backup job finished with errors TASK ERROR: job errors


I searched the Internet and found the tips with the command: qm unlock <VM ID>


My question is why is the virtual machine blocked? is a question that helps me understand the operation sorry for my bad English

For LXC its

pct unlock <id>

and the reason for the lock is simple, backup failed while vm has been locked and you have to manually unlock it to check whats up with it.
