running a LXC backup is restarting the containers

Hi All,

not sure if other people are having this issue or just me so throught i would ask

we run a nightly backup of a few KVMs and LXCs to a FreeNAS cube with NFS,

never had any problems with it for months until recently

for some reason the LXC containers are restarting themselves after the backup appears to have finished?

but when I get the email reports the is no errors?

106: Feb 28 04:33:27 INFO: Finished Backup of VM 106 (00:01:13)

AND our SNMP monitoring is showing the uptime on the machine is less than 10mins after a 5min poll?

ALSO when I connect into the container, the uptime on the device is ALSO less than 10mins?

so it has physically restarted?

any ideas?
